Conversely, public order offences were 25% above the national average, linked to local events or the dynamics of a built-up area within Ashfield. The data also reveals an unexpected spike in bicycle theft, which was 186% above the UK average, a figure that may be connected to local cycling infrastructure or temporary events that attract cyclists. This mix of crime types illustrates how local factors—ranging from community cohesion to physical environment—can shape the crime profile in ways that diverge from broader national trends.
