West Bridgford Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

June 2025 saw West Bridgford maintain a crime rate of 6.4 per 1,000 residents, 21% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This built-up area within Rushcliffe continues to demonstrate a crime profile distinct from national trends, with shoplifting (30.7% of total crimes) and violence and sexual offences (21.2%) forming the largest share of reported incidents. The seasonal context of June—longer days and the start of summer—may have influenced patterns, though no direct correlation is evident in the data. Shoplifting's dominance (2.0 per 1,000) aligns with the area's retail presence, particularly in high-traffic zones like the town centre. Meanwhile, violent crime rates (1.4 per 1,000) are significantly lower than the UK average (2.9 per 1,000), a trend consistent with the area's suburban nature and lower density of nightlife venues. Anti-social behaviour (0.9 per 1,000) and criminal damage (0.5 per 1,000) also remain below national averages, suggesting effective community engagement or environmental design that deters such incidents. However, the sharp rise in burglary (11 incidents) highlights a potential vulnerability, possibly linked to seasonal property movements or increased home occupation during summer months.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift occurred in burglary, which rose from 3 to 11 incidents—a 266.7% increase. This jump, though small in absolute terms, contrasts sharply with a 73% drop in vehicle crime (from 12 to 2). The crime mix also shifted: property crimes (126) now account for 54.5% of total incidents, compared to 49% in the previous month. Shoplifting remained the most common single offence (30.7% of total crimes), 217% above the UK average. Conversely, violent crimes (21.2% of total) were 51% below the UK average, possibly reflecting the area's suburban character with fewer nightlife hubs. Residents may find the 73% decline in vehicle crime noteworthy, as it suggests improved security measures or reduced parking congestion in local areas.

West Bridgford's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, a 0.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.5 per 1,000. This consistency suggests no significant short-term shifts in overall crime trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 8 crimes per day, a figure that provides a tangible sense of local exposure. Over the course of the month, 1 crime was reported for every 156 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population. When compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, West Bridgford's rate remains 21% lower, a gap that reflects broader patterns of lower crime in this built-up area. The population context highlights that even with 231 total crimes, the rate remains proportionally lower than the national average, suggesting effective community policing or environmental factors that mitigate criminal activity.
