Heanor Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Heanor's crime rate for November 2025 stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.8% above the UK average of 7.3. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 46.1% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (12.9%) and criminal damage and arson (9.6%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up community within Amber Valley, where social interactions and public spaces may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. Seasonal factors in November—such as dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—likely influenced the mix of crimes, with anti-social behaviour and public order incidents showing particular sensitivity to low-light conditions and increased foot traffic. The area’s crime profile reflects a balance between persistent urban challenges and temporary spikes linked to specific events. The rate of violence in Heanor was 40% above the UK average, a disparity that may be attributed to local demographics or service provision gaps. While property crimes remained relatively low compared to violent offences, the overall crime rate underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk categories. The seasonal context suggests that community engagement during November could play a role in mitigating some of these trends. This snapshot illustrates the dynamic nature of crime in Heanor, shaped by both structural and transient factors.

The most striking shift in November 2025 was the 300% increase in 'Other crime,' rising from one incident to four. This category, which includes unclassified or niche offences, saw an unprecedented surge, though its exact nature remains unspecified in the data. Concurrently, 'Other theft' rose by 140%, potentially linked to Black Friday shopping activity, while burglary increased by 50%, possibly reflecting seasonal changes in home occupancy or security practices. In contrast, vehicle crime fell by 80.6%, from 31 to six incidents—a sharp decline that may be attributed to reduced traffic during the holiday period or improved local deterrents. The drop in drug-related offences (83.3%) and possession of weapons (75%) suggests a temporary reduction in illicit activity. Heanor’s rate of violence and sexual offences—3.6 per 1,000—was 40% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in this category. Anti-social behaviour, while 6% below the UK average, still accounted for a significant share of incidents, indicating a need for targeted community initiatives. These fluctuations underscore the volatility of crime patterns, influenced by both local dynamics and broader seasonal trends.

Heanor’s crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 22.7% compared to the previous month, falling from 10.0 to 7.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline, while notable, still places the area above the UK average, suggesting that underlying factors continue to influence local crime trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately six crimes per day, a figure that, while manageable, reflects the density of incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 129 residents, a ratio that provides context for individual risk exposure. With a population of 22,959, Heanor’s crime profile illustrates a balance between community size and incident frequency. The previous month’s higher rate may have been influenced by transient factors such as seasonal events or temporary spikes in specific crime categories. The current rate, while lower than October’s, still indicates that Heanor faces challenges in maintaining consistent reductions in crime. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate is above the UK average, the absolute number of incidents remains relatively low for a community of this size, suggesting that targeted interventions could yield further improvements.
