Heanor Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 22,959, 221 crimes reported in June 2025 translate to one crime for every 104 residents. This rate of 9.6 per 1,000 residents places Heanor 18.5% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. The crime profile reflects a significant imbalance: violence and sexual offences (99 cases) account for 44.8% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (53 cases) at 24.0% and criminal damage and arson (20 cases) at 9.1%. These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflict and community disruption, which may be influenced by local social dynamics. Seasonal factors likely play a role, as June marks the start of summer—a period typically associated with increased outdoor activity and tourism in nearby coastal areas. However, Heanor’s inland location means its seasonal patterns differ; longer daylight hours may contribute to higher visibility of anti-social behaviour, while warmer weather could influence patterns of public order incidents. The data also highlights a stark contrast in crime types compared to national averages: violence and sexual offences in Heanor are 50% above the UK average, while shoplifting and other theft categories are lower. This divergence may reflect the area’s character as a built-up district within Amber Valley, where local demographics and economic conditions shape crime trends differently than in more tourist-centric or rural regions. The absence of significant property crime (only 45 cases) further suggests a focus on community-based issues over burglary or vehicle-related offences.

June 2025 saw dramatic shifts in crime trends. Robbery cases surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents—a stark increase that may reflect heightened vulnerability during summer evenings or targeted opportunism. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 73.9%, dropping from 23 to six cases, possibly due to seasonal retail strategies or increased police presence in high-street areas. Anti-social behaviour remained the second most common crime type, with 53 cases, but this category is 62% above the UK average, indicating persistent community challenges. Violent crime, though not the highest in absolute terms, is 50% above the national average, with 99 cases of violence and sexual offences. This suggests a need for targeted interventions in high-risk environments such as local pubs or community hubs. Categories like bicycle theft and theft from the person are 100% below the UK average, due to lower foot traffic or more secure storage options. These fluctuations highlight the importance of real-time data for local policing strategies, as month-on-month changes can signal emerging issues or the effectiveness of recent initiatives.

Heanor’s crime rate in June 2025 (9.6 per 1,000) marked a 10.5% decrease from May’s 10.8 per 1,000, reflecting a slight improvement in overall safety. On a daily basis, 7 crimes were reported per day—a figure that, while seemingly low, underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small community. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 104 residents, a ratio that contextualises the impact of crime on daily life. When scaled to the population, this rate suggests that residents face a higher-than-average risk of violent crime compared to the UK, but a lower risk of property-related offences. The 18.5% gap above the UK average in overall crime rate may be attributed to local factors such as the built-up nature of Heanor within Amber Valley, where concentrated populations can sometimes correlate with higher rates of interpersonal conflict. However, the month-on-month decline indicates that recent measures—whether community policing efforts or seasonal adjustments—may be having a measurable effect. For residents, the 1-in-104 monthly exposure figure serves as a tangible benchmark, illustrating that while crime is present, it remains relatively infrequent in the context of Heanor’s demographics.
