Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Radcliffe on Trent's crime rate in November 2024 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, 34.2% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure reflects a mixed picture of crime patterns influenced by seasonal factors. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.9% of all reported crimes, a category where the area's rate was 26% below the UK average. Shoplifting emerged as the second most common crime type, with a sharp increase that placed it 88% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed at 22.2% of total crimes, though its rate was just 1% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings—likely contributed to these patterns. The rise in shoplifting may be linked to increased foot traffic during retail promotions, while the lower rate of public order offences could reflect reduced outdoor activity as nights lengthen. Despite the month-on-month increase in overall crime, the area's consistently lower rate compared to the UK suggests effective local policing or community factors that mitigate crime. The balance between violent and property crimes also hints at a shift in criminal activity, with violence remaining the dominant category despite its relatively low rate compared to national benchmarks. This data underscores the importance of understanding local dynamics, as Radcliffe on Trent's experience diverges from broader UK trends in both magnitude and composition.

November 2024 saw a dramatic 800% increase in shoplifting, rising from one incident to nine. This surge outpaced the UK average by 88%, highlighting a stark deviation in retail-related crime. Concurrently, other theft and burglary each doubled from zero to two and one respectively, marking notable shifts in property crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 38.9% of all crimes, though they remained 26% below the UK average. The decrease in public order offences by 33.3% to two incidents suggests a reduction in low-level disputes, possibly influenced by the start of the holiday season. These changes illustrate a combination of seasonal events and local crime dynamics, with shoplifting's sharp rise offering a concrete data point for residents concerned about retail security.

Radcliffe on Trent's crime rate in November 2024 rose 28.6% from the previous month, climbing to 5.0 per 1,000 residents from 3.9 per 1,000. This shift places the area's monthly crime rate within a range that reflects seasonal fluctuations typical of small built-up areas. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 200 residents, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for local residents. Daily crime statistics show an average of one crime per day across 30 days, a rate that aligns with patterns seen in similar-sized communities. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the area's crime rate remains 34.2% below the UK average, the month-on-month increase suggests a temporary uptick in activity that may be linked to November-specific factors such as extended evenings and seasonal events. This monthly exposure figure, while low, underscores the importance of maintaining community vigilance during periods of heightened activity.
