Heanor Crime Rate May 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Heanor's crime rate in May 2023 stood at 13.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 66.3% above the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This figure translates to a daily risk of approximately 10 crimes, with the most common offences being anti-social behaviour (28.9% of total crimes), violence and sexual offences (26.9%), and public order issues (13.1%). The seasonal context of May, characterised by longer evenings and increased socialising, likely contributes to the prominence of these categories. Anti-social behaviour, in particular, is 186% above the UK average, a stark deviation that may reflect localised factors such as community dynamics or environmental conditions. The high proportion of violent crimes (82 cases) compared to property crimes (81 cases) suggests a balance between interpersonal conflict and property-related incidents. However, the area's performance in certain categories, like shoplifting (39% below UK average) and vehicle crime (33% below UK average), indicates pockets of lower risk. These patterns are consistent with Heanor's character as a built-up area within Amber Valley, where urban density and social interactions may drive certain crime types while others remain suppressed due to local initiatives or environmental factors.

May 2023 saw a 100% increase in public order crimes, rising from 20 to 40 incidents. This surge aligns with the seasonal context of longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, which may partly explain the sharp rise. Anti-social behaviour also spiked by 39.7%, from 63 to 88 cases, reflecting a trend that is 186% above the UK average. Meanwhile, vehicle crime plummeted by 68.4% (19 to 6), a drop that contrasts with the overall upward trend in other categories. The significant disparity between Heanor and the UK average is evident in anti-social behaviour (3.8 per 1,000 vs 1.3 per 1,000) and violence and sexual offences (3.6 per 1,000 vs 2.8 per 1,000). These findings highlight areas where local interventions may be most urgently needed, particularly in managing public order and anti-social conduct.

Heanor's crime rate in May 2023 rose to 13.3 per 1,000 residents, a 13.3% increase from the previous month's 11.7 per 1,000. This upward trend suggests a growing need for community vigilance and local policing focus. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 10 crimes per day, highlighting the frequency of incidents within a short timeframe. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 75 residents, a figure that underscores the monthly exposure to crime for individuals living in Heanor. When scaled to the population of 22,959, this rate places the area significantly above the UK average, with the disparity most pronounced in categories like anti-social behaviour and public order offences. The contrast with the previous month's rate, combined with the daily crime count, provides a clearer picture of the area's ongoing challenges in maintaining public safety.
