Ruddington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ruddington’s crime profile in November 2025 reveals a combination of stability and localized spikes. The area’s overall crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents remains 50.7% below the UK average, a figure that reflects the built-up nature of the area within Rushcliffe. This relatively low rate is underpinned by a stark contrast in crime types: violence and sexual offences, the most common category at 32.1% of all crimes, are 53% below the UK average. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson—from one to six incidents—marks a significant concern. This surge may be consistent with seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which could have created conditions for deliberate fire-setting. Vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour also remain below UK averages, suggesting that the area’s infrastructure and community dynamics may contribute to lower rates in these categories. The month’s context—Black Friday shopping and dark evenings—may have influenced patterns, with potential increases in opportunistic theft or vandalism. While the overall crime rate remains low, the 500% spike in arson-related incidents warrants attention, particularly as such events could indicate underlying tensions or vulnerabilities in specific areas of Ruddington. The balance between property and violent crime appears stable, with property crimes (14) slightly outnumbering violent crimes (9), though both categories remain well below UK levels. This suggests that while the area is not immune to crime, its built-up character and community-focused policing may play a role in sustaining lower rates compared to larger urban centres.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in criminal damage and arson, with incidents rising from one to six. This sharp rise, though still below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, places the category 51% above the national rate. Other theft and shoplifting both jumped from zero to one, marking a 100% increase in these categories. These spikes may be consistent with seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which could have heightened opportunities for arson or property damage. Meanwhile, burglary and public order offences fell by 66.7% and 50% respectively, reflecting a shift in crime patterns that may align with reduced foot traffic during darker evenings. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 32.1% of all crimes, but at a rate 53% below the UK average. This suggests that while certain areas of the crime profile worsened, others showed marked improvement, particularly in property-related offences. Residents should remain vigilant around public spaces during November’s shorter days, given the surge in arson-related incidents.

Ruddington’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, a 3.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000. This slight downward trend contrasts with the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, placing the area 50.7% below the national benchmark. Locally, the monthly exposure figure reveals that over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 277 residents—a statistic that, while low, underscores the area’s relative safety. Daily crime context shows that Ruddington experienced approximately one reported crime per day in November, a figure that, when considered against the population of 7,759, highlights the sparse nature of incidents. This low frequency aligns with the area’s built-up character within Rushcliffe, where community engagement and local policing may contribute to sustained lower crime rates compared to larger urban centres. The contrast with UK averages is particularly stark in categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 62% below the national rate, suggesting a broader pattern of community cohesion that may mitigate certain types of disorder.
