Amber Valley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Amber Valley's crime rate for September 2025 was 6.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 13.5% below the UK average of 7.4. This overall figure masks significant variations in specific crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 41.6% of all incidents — the highest proportion of any category. These violent crimes, at 2.7 per 1,000, are 5% above the UK average, a disparity that may be consistent with the area's mix of urban and rural characteristics, where higher population density in certain zones could contribute to increased interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category (13.6% of total crimes), is 23% below the UK average, a trend likely explained by Amber Valley's relatively stable community structures compared to larger cities. Public order offences, however, are 30% above the UK average, a figure that may partly reflect the seasonal context of September, when back-to-school activities and university freshers' week could amplify incidents of disorder. The breakdown shows a combination of local demographics and external factors, with violent crimes dominating the profile despite the overall rate remaining below the national benchmark.

Vehicle crime in Amber Valley surged by 55% in September 2025, rising from 20 to 31 incidents. This increase, though not reflected in the overall rate, highlights a growing vulnerability in local transport infrastructure or parking areas. Concurrently, possession of weapons rose by 22.2%, a trend that may partly explain the 30% above UK average for public order offences. While violent crimes remain the most common category (41.6% of total incidents), they are 5% above the UK average, a figure that contrasts with the 34% below UK average for shoplifting. Robbery rates fell by 37.5%, from 8 to 5 incidents, a decline that may reflect improved security measures in high-risk areas. These shifts in crime mix underscore the need for targeted policing in sectors such as vehicle-related crimes and public order management.

Amber Valley's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, a 5.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.8. This reduction, while modest, suggests a stabilisation in overall criminal activity after a slight uptick in August. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 28 crimes per day, highlighting the persistent need for vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 156 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population. This monthly exposure rate, while lower than the UK average, underscores the importance of community engagement and local policing strategies. The population context further illustrates that Amber Valley's crime profile, though below the national average, remains a focal point for targeted interventions, particularly in areas where specific crime types deviate significantly from UK norms.
