Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2024, Radcliffe on Trent recorded 30 crimes, translating to a crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents—45.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This rate reflects a generally low-crime environment, with the area’s built-up character within Rushcliffe likely contributing to its safety profile. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (30% of total), followed by shoplifting (23.3%) and criminal damage and arson (13.3%). These figures align with the seasonal context of September, a time marked by the return to school, university freshers’ week, and the transition to shorter evenings. The dominance of violence and sexual offences may be influenced by increased social activity in local areas, while shoplifting’s rise could be tied to retail footfall during the back-to-school period. Shoplifting in Radcliffe on Trent is 47% above the UK average for this category, suggesting a local factor such as targeted retail areas or seasonal shopping patterns. In contrast, violence and sexual offences are 50% below the UK average, due to the area’s smaller size and community-focused environment, which may reduce opportunities for such crimes. Criminal damage and arson, though lower in absolute terms, rose sharply by 300% from the previous month, a figure that may warrant closer attention given its unusual trajectory. The overall stability in the crime rate, coupled with the UK comparison, underscores Radcliffe on Trent’s position as a relatively safe area, though localized spikes in specific categories highlight the need for ongoing monitoring.

September 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Radcliffe on Trent. Criminal damage and arson surged by 300%, jumping from one incident to four, a stark increase that may partly reflect seasonal transitions or localized incidents. Concurrently, vehicle crime rose by 100%, marking a significant uptick from zero to two reported cases—a development that could signal heightened activity in parking areas or changes in local traffic patterns. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 40%, dropping from five to three incidents, linked to the start of the academic term and reduced after-hours activity in public spaces. Violence and sexual offences also declined by 40%, from 15 to nine, a trend that may align with the return to school and university freshers’ week, which typically brings more structured environments and community engagement. Shoplifting, meanwhile, rose 40% to seven incidents, placing it 47% above the UK average for this category. This contrast between shoplifting and other categories illustrates a complex mix of local factors influencing crime, with retail areas drawing attention during the back-to-school season.

For September 2024, Radcliffe on Trent recorded 30 crimes over 30 days, translating to roughly one crime per day. This daily rate is consistent with the area’s historical norms, reflecting a stable environment despite seasonal transitions. On a monthly scale, the 30 crimes equate to one reported incident for every 240 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in this built-up area. Comparing this to the previous month, the crime rate remained unchanged at 4.2 per 1,000, indicating no significant fluctuations in overall safety. While the local population of 7,211 is relatively small, the crime rate still aligns with a pattern of low-level incidents rather than spikes in serious crime. This context is vital for residents: the likelihood of encountering crime in any given month is minimal, with the monthly exposure figure serving as a tangible measure of risk. The stability in crime rates also suggests that local initiatives, if any, may be effectively maintaining community safety, though no specific programmes are referenced here. The comparison to the UK average, while not directly relevant in this section, highlights Radcliffe on Trent’s position as a safer area within the broader context of national crime trends.
