Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

November 2023 saw Radcliffe on Trent maintain a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents, significantly below the UK average of 7.5. This built-up area within Rushcliffe has historically demonstrated lower crime rates, likely reflecting its smaller population and rural-adjacent character. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences (9 incidents, 25.7% of total), a figure 50% below the UK average for this category. Criminal damage and arson (8 incidents) and anti-social behaviour (6 incidents) followed, with the latter 24% below the UK average. Seasonal factors may have influenced patterns: Bonfire Night (5 November) and the approach of Black Friday shopping could have contributed to increased vandalism and public order issues. The area's relatively low crime rate may also be attributed to its community-focused environment and limited commercial density compared to larger urban centres. While property crimes accounted for 48.6% of reported incidents, the violent crime share was lower than the UK average, suggesting a focus on community safety initiatives. The month's shorter daylight hours, a common feature in November, may have impacted visibility and deterrence. Overall, the data illustrates a stable, low-crime environment with distinct seasonal fluctuations that align with local events and geography.

November 2023 marked a 34.3% increase in Radcliffe on Trent's crime rate compared to October, rising from 3.6 to 4.9 per 1,000 residents. This uptick was driven by a 100% surge in criminal damage and arson cases, which rose from 4 to 8 incidents. The category of 'other crime' also doubled, moving from 1 to 2 incidents, while possession of weapons emerged as a new category with 1 reported case. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 14.3% (from 7 to 6 incidents), suggesting temporary improvements in community conduct. Violence and sexual offences remained 50% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), despite the overall rate increase. The sharp rise in criminal damage and arson may be linked to Bonfire Night, which falls on 5 November, potentially spurring pyrotechnic-related incidents. Meanwhile, the category of 'other theft' was 52% below the UK average, indicating effective local deterrence measures or lower commercial activity. Residents should be aware of the increased risk of vandalism and arson, particularly during late-night hours, as the data shows a clear spike in these categories. The absence of significant changes in burglary (3 incidents) or shoplifting (4 incidents) suggests that targeted prevention efforts in these areas have remained consistent.

Radcliffe on Trent's November 2023 crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents represents a 34.3% increase from October's 3.6, but remains 34.7% below the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 206 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a localised metric that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the population of 7,211, the 35 total crimes recorded in November equate to an average of 1 crime for every 206 residents, a figure that may feel more tangible for local residents. This rate is lower than the UK average, which suggests that Radcliffe on Trent's built-up area operates within a safer crime profile compared to national trends. The 34.7% gap from the UK average persists despite the month-on-month increase, indicating that local factors—such as community cohesion, limited commercial density, and effective policing—continue to mitigate crime. The daily crime count, while showing a slight rise, remains low enough that most residents would likely encounter fewer than two incidents per month. This comparative context reinforces the area's status as a relatively secure place to live, even as seasonal fluctuations temporarily elevate certain crime categories.
