Alfreton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Alfreton’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 48.1% of all reported crimes. This category alone is 99% above the UK average, with a rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents, significantly outpacing national trends. The area’s overall crime rate of 11.8 per 1,000 residents places it 45.7% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the national benchmark of 8.1 per 1,000. This elevated rate is driven by a combination of factors, including the high proportion of violent crimes and the marked increase in public order offences. The summer months, with their longer days and potential for increased public gatherings, may contribute to this pattern. Alfreton’s built-up character, typical of smaller urban centres, likely influences these trends, with local amenities and community spaces potentially serving as focal points for both violent and disorder-related incidents. The presence of other theft and criminal damage crimes further diversifies the crime mix, though these remain below the UK average in most categories. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of the summer period, may also play a role in shaping crime patterns, as evidenced by the rise in public order offences, which could be linked to increased foot traffic or events. However, the stability in the month-on-month comparison suggests that while seasonal factors may influence crime trends, they have not led to a dramatic shift in overall rates. This data underscores the need for targeted community engagement and policing strategies to address the specific challenges faced by Alfreton.

June 2025 saw a sharp 157.1% increase in public order offences, rising from seven to eighteen incidents. This surge, while unexplained by the data, may reflect heightened activity during the early summer period. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 45.5%, aligning with a broader trend of reduced disorder incidents. The category of violence and sexual offences, which constitutes 48.1% of all crimes, remains 99% above the UK average at 5.7 per 1,000, underscoring a persistent challenge in this area. Vehicle crime rose by 100% from zero to two incidents, suggesting a possible shift in criminal focus toward transport-related offences. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime patterns, with some categories showing marked changes while others remain stable. Residents may find the sharp rise in public order offences particularly concerning, as it could signal increased pressure on local policing resources.

Alfreton's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 11.8 per 1,000 residents, a 0.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 11.9. This suggests a consistent level of criminal activity without significant spikes or drops. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day over the month, a figure that provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents for local residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 85 residents, highlighting the relative density of crime within this built-up area. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the stability in the month-on-month comparison indicates that no single factor has dramatically altered the crime profile. The population context further underscores that, despite the elevated rate, the absolute number of crimes remains manageable within the local environment, though vigilance remains a priority for community safety.
