Crime Risk Scores
Nottinghamshire Police • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Nottinghamshire Police has a crime risk score of 471. This is based on analysis of 37,405 nearby areas within Nottinghamshire Police, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.
Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in Nottinghamshire Police's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Nottinghamshire Police, crime risk scores are typically around 471, while in National they are average 500.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 476 (500 for National), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 488 (National 500).
Trends in Crime Risk

Calculated via Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, the Seasonality Adjusted line represents the original data with seasonality subtracted, and the Trend line has been plotted unadjusted. Overall trend direction has been identified using the Mann-Kendall trend test, and rate calculated from the slope of the best-fit line identified from linear regression.
The 10-year trend indicates a decrease of 18% in Nottinghamshire Police's crime risk score. This is potentially a strong signal of how the crime risk is evolving. Cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
