Annesley Woodhouse Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile in Annesley Woodhouse during September 2025, accounting for 52% of all reported incidents. With a total of 25 crimes recorded, the area's overall crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents places it 36.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This disparity is particularly pronounced in violent crime, where the local rate (2.4 per 1,000) is 7% below the national average for this category. The data suggests a complex interaction between local demographics and seasonal factors, as September marks the start of the academic year and the transition from summer to autumn. The built-up nature of the area, within Ashfield, may contribute to the relative concentration of violent crime compared to more dispersed rural settings. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category (24% of total incidents), also remained below the UK average by 6%, indicating a consistent trend in managing disruptive conduct. While property crimes accounted for only 12% of the total, the slight increase in 'other theft' cases highlights the potential influence of seasonal movements, such as the return of students and the start of term-time activities. These patterns are likely shaped by the area's proximity to educational institutions and its role as a commuter hub within Ashfield. The low overall crime rate, combined with the absence of significant spikes in property-related offences, suggests a generally stable environment, though the prominence of violent crime underscores the need for targeted interventions in this category.

September 2025 saw a 100% increase in 'other theft' incidents, rising from zero to three reported cases. This shift may reflect the return of students and seasonal shoppers, creating opportunities for opportunistic theft. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 83.3%, from six to one, potentially linked to the start of the academic term and reduced late-night activity. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 45.5%, from 11 to six, suggesting a correlation with the transition from summer to autumn, when community spaces are used more sparingly. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.4 per 1,000) is 7% below the UK average for this category, highlighting a local resilience in reducing serious incidents. These fluctuations underscore the interplay between seasonal rhythms and local demographics in shaping crime patterns.

Annesley Woodhouse's crime rate in September 2025 (4.7 per 1,000 residents) marks a 37.5% decline from the previous month's rate of 7.5 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as nights grow shorter and school terms begin. Locally, this translates to approximately one reported crime occurring for every 213 residents over the course of the month—a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for residents. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of one crime per 30 days, reflecting a low-frequency but consistent presence of criminal activity. When compared to the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, the area remains significantly safer, with its rate 36.5% below the national benchmark. This contrast is amplified by the area's relatively compact built-up nature, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime compared to larger urban centres. The population of 5,322 further shapes the local context, as crime statistics are scaled to a smaller community where individual incidents can have a more visible impact.
