Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Radcliffe on Trent maintaining a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents, significantly lower than the UK average of 7.3. This figure represents a 56.2% deficit compared to the national benchmark, reflecting a consistently safer environment in this built-up area. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.5% of all reported incidents, followed by other crime (13%) and public order offences (8.7%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of November, a month marked by shorter daylight hours and events like Bonfire Night, which may contribute to increased alcohol-related incidents or public disturbances. The relatively low overall crime rate suggests a community with effective local policing or strong social cohesion, though the prominence of violence-related crimes indicates targeted efforts may be needed in this area. Unlike larger urban centres, Radcliffe on Trent’s crime profile appears shaped more by localized factors than broad demographic trends, with property crimes remaining low compared to the UK average. The absence of significant spikes in burglary or vehicle crime during this month contrasts with other areas experiencing seasonal surges, pointing to possible differences in local infrastructure or community engagement strategies. While direct causation, the interplay between seasonal darkness and reduced visibility may partly explain the persistence of violent crimes, which often occur in poorly lit public spaces.

Month-on-month, November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with burglary, criminal damage, and vehicle crime all doubling from zero to two incidents each. This increase, though small in absolute terms, raises questions about potential vulnerabilities in residential security or unoccupied properties during the darker evenings. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by two-thirds (from three to one incident), possibly reflecting the impact of local initiatives or community awareness campaigns. Violence and sexual offences, while still the most common category, decreased by 16.7% compared to October, bringing their rate to 1.4 per 1,000 residents—46% below the UK average. This contrast with other crime types, such as 'other crime,' which saw a 150% surge above the UK average (0.2 vs 0.3 per 1,000). Residents may find the breakdown of 'other crime' particularly noteworthy, as it encompasses categories not explicitly defined in the data, including fraud or cybercrime. The UK comparison for public order offences (36% below the national rate) further underscores the area’s relative safety in managing disruptive behaviour, though the rise in burglary suggests a need for ongoing vigilance in property crime prevention.

November 2025 marked a 14.7% decrease in Radcliffe on Trent’s crime rate compared to October, bringing the figure down from 3.7 to 3.2 per 1,000 residents. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a daily crime count of roughly one incident per day. Over the course of the month, this translated to a 1-in-314 chance of any resident being directly affected by crime, a statistic that may feel abstract but reflects the area’s low-risk profile. When compared to the UK average, Radcliffe on Trent’s population-scaled safety is stark: for every 1,000 residents, the area experiences just 3.2 crimes compared to the national average of 7.3. This disparity is particularly evident in violent crime, where the rate is 46% below the UK average, suggesting either stronger community policing or fewer risk factors for violence. However, the 150% increase in 'other crime' over the UK average (0.3 vs 0.2 per 1,000) highlights the need for more granular analysis of this category. For residents, the daily context of one crime per day may be reassuring, but it also underscores the importance of remaining vigilant in areas where crime rates, though low, are not entirely absent. The population-scaled perspective further emphasizes that even minor fluctuations in crime can have significant local impacts, particularly in a small built-up area with a population of 7,211.
