Nottinghamshire Knife Crime Rising | Nottingham News

Nottinghamshire’s knife crime surged to 917 cases last year, a 14.3% jump from 802 the year before—but still below the pandemic-era peak of over 1,000 in 2019. Over the past decade, incidents rose 37.9%, climbing steadily until 2019, then dipping during lockdowns. Nationally, England and Wales saw a 49% increase over the same period, making Nottinghamshire’s rise less severe than the average. Though recent data shows a reversal of the previous downward trend, cases remain nearly 10% under the 2019 high—making this year the third-worst on record. Officials suggest improved police recording may explain part of the uptick, not necessarily a spike in real-world violence.
