Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 7,211 residents, Radcliffe on Trent recorded 41 crimes in September 2023, translating to a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 people. This figure is 28.7% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000, placing the area well within the safer end of the national spectrum. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (17 incidents, 41.5% of total), followed by criminal damage and arson (5 incidents, 12.2%) and anti-social behaviour (4 incidents, 9.8%). The seasonal context of September—marked by the start of the academic year and university freshers—may influence these patterns, though the lower-than-average violent crime rate suggests a community with strong social cohesion or effective local policing. The area’s crime profile contrasts with the UK average in several ways: anti-social behaviour and public order offences were 55% and 35% below national levels respectively, while possession of weapons was 329% above. This anomaly may reflect underreporting, a niche local issue, or specific enforcement challenges. The relatively low rate of vehicle crime (1 incident, 0.1 per 1,000) aligns with the area’s built-up character, where fewer vehicles are parked in open spaces compared to sprawling suburban or rural regions. Overall, the data illustrates a community where interpersonal crime is a priority, but property-related issues remain manageable.

September saw a notable shift in crime patterns, with burglary, other theft, and vehicle crime each doubling compared to August. This 100% increase in these categories may partly explain the broader property crime trend, though the overall rate of 12 property crimes remains relatively low. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences dropped sharply—by 69.2% and 57.1% respectively—possibly linked to the start of the academic year and reduced late-night activity. The area’s violent crime rate (2.4 per 1,000) was 12% below the UK average, but possession of weapons stood out as a stark outlier, 329% above the national rate. This discrepancy raises questions about local enforcement practices or unreported incidents. Residents may find the 100% increase in vehicle crime (from 0 to 1) particularly relevant, as it suggests a new vulnerability in parking or vehicle security measures.

Radcliffe on Trent’s crime rate in September 2023 stood at 5.7 per 1,000 residents, an 8.8% decline from the previous month’s 6.2. This downward trend aligns with a reduction in anti-social behaviour (down 69.2%) and public order offences (down 57.1%), which may reflect seasonal shifts as school terms begin. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported per day, a figure that places it among the lowest in the UK for similar-sized communities. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 176 residents, a statistic that contextualises the safety of the area relative to its population. While violent crimes and sexual offences remained the most common category, their rate was 12% below the UK average, suggesting a localised pattern of lower interpersonal crime despite the influx of university students during freshers’ week. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with a small number of incidents, the impact per resident is minimal compared to national trends.
