Radcliffe on Trent Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 7,211 residents, 20 crimes in September 2025 equate to a rate of 2.8 per 1,000 — 62.2% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights Radcliffe on Trent's relatively low crime profile compared to national trends. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (5 cases), public order issues (3 cases), and criminal damage and arson (3 cases), collectively accounting for 65% of all reported incidents. This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal disputes and property-related issues rather than large-scale criminal activity. Seasonal factors may partly explain the pattern: September's back-to-school period and university freshers' week could contribute to increased public order incidents, though the overall rate remains stable compared to the previous month. The area's character as a small built-up community within Rushcliffe likely plays a role, with fewer commercial hubs and more residential areas reducing opportunities for certain crimes. Violent crime rates in Radcliffe on Trent (0.7 per 1,000) are 73% below the UK average for the same category, aligning with the area's low population density and community-oriented social fabric. The absence of major retail or nightlife centres further explains the comparatively low rates of theft and burglary compared to larger urban centres.

September 2025 saw significant month-on-month changes in specific crime categories. Criminal damage and arson cases surged by 200%, rising from 1 to 3 incidents — a sharp increase that may reflect seasonal transitions or increased community activity as the weather turned cooler. Similarly, drug-related offences doubled from 0 to 2 cases, suggesting potential shifts in local patterns or increased reporting. Shoplifting also doubled to 2 incidents, though this remains well below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 25% (from 4 to 3 cases), possibly linked to the start of the academic year and reduced late-night activity. The crime mix also shifted slightly: while violent crime (25% of total) and property crime (40% of total) remained dominant, the proportion of drug-related offences rose from 0% to 10% of all reported crimes. This increase, though small in absolute terms, is notable as it represents the only category in Radcliffe on Trent where the local rate exceeds the UK average (drugs: 0.3 vs 0.3 per 1,000). Residents might find the 100% increase in shoplifting incidents particularly relevant, as it suggests potential vulnerabilities in local retail security during the busy September shopping period.

The crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 in September 2025 matched the previous month's rate exactly, indicating no month-on-month change in overall crime levels. This stability contrasts with broader UK trends, where Radcliffe on Trent's rate remains 62.2% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 1 crime per day — a figure that, while seemingly high in absolute terms, is proportionally minimal for a community of 7,211 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 361 residents, a statistic that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in relation to the local population. When scaled to the area's size, this suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. The comparison to the UK average becomes even more pronounced when considering specific categories: for instance, the area's violent crime rate is 73% below the national figure, and anti-social behaviour rates are 66% below the UK average. These disparities reflect Radcliffe on Trent's unique social and geographical characteristics, with its small-scale community structure likely reducing opportunities for certain types of crime. The daily crime context also provides a practical perspective — for a resident, the chance of being directly affected by a crime in any given day is less than 0.03%, underscoring the area's overall safety profile despite the absolute number of incidents.
