Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Radcliffe on Trent's crime rate in May 2024 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 40.5% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This figure, while low, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal dynamics. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.3% of all reported incidents (12 cases), a rate of 1.7 per 1,000 that is 40% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime remains a concern, the area's rate is significantly lower than the national benchmark. Shoplifting followed with 16.7% of incidents (6 cases), a rate of 0.8 per 1,000 that is 25% above the UK average, highlighting a specific vulnerability in retail spaces. The seasonal context of May—characterised by longer evenings, bank holidays, and increased outdoor socialising—likely contributes to the rise in public order offences and other non-violent crimes. The area's relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average may be attributed to its smaller population and the absence of major urban centres, which often correlate with higher crime rates. However, the increase in drug-related crimes and public order offences indicates a need for continued monitoring and community engagement to address emerging trends.

May 2024 saw a 200% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from 1 to 3 incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000 residents. Public order offences also doubled from zero to four, though this figure remains 5% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Other crimes increased by 100%, moving from 1 to 2 incidents, a category that is 76% above the UK average. These shifts in crime mix highlight a growing focus on non-violent, yet persistent, issues. The area's violent crime rate (1.7 per 1,000) is 40% below the UK average, suggesting that while certain categories are rising, others remain relatively low. For residents, the 200% spike in drug-related crimes may indicate a need for targeted local interventions, particularly as May's longer evenings and increased socialising could contribute to such trends.

Radcliffe on Trent's crime rate in May 2024 (5.0 per 1,000 residents) represents a 124.8% increase compared to April 2024's rate of 2.2 per 1,000. This jump places the area's current rate 40.5% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, though the upward trend suggests potential shifts in local dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day in May, a figure that, while low, reflects the area's small population of 7,211. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 200 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the community size. This statistic, while modest, highlights the importance of maintaining consistent policing and community engagement to prevent any further upward trajectory. The population-scaled perspective reinforces that even small changes in crime rates can have measurable impacts on local residents, particularly when compared to the national average.
