Annesley Woodhouse’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 12.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This performance, while modest, highlights a broader trend of relative safety compared to the national picture. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 42.1% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (26.3%) and criminal damage (7.9%). These figures align with the area’s character as a built-up district within Ashfield, where social interactions and property-related conflicts are common. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may have influenced patterns: longer daylight hours and increased outdoor activity could have contributed to a rise in anti-social behaviour, while the absence of winter holidays may have reduced certain types of theft. Shoplifting, though minimal (0.2 per 1,000), surged by 100% compared to May, linked to seasonal retail activity or transient populations. The contrast between Annesley Woodhouse’s relatively low overall rate and its above-average rates in anti-social behaviour and drug-related crimes suggests a need for targeted interventions in community spaces. This data underscores the importance of balancing general safety improvements with focused efforts to address specific challenges, ensuring that the area’s crime profile remains aligned with both local needs and national benchmarks.
