Huthwaite Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2023, Huthwaite recorded a crime rate of 10.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 33.7% above the UK average of 8.0. This figure, while showing a 13.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 12.4, remains a concern for the built-up area within Ashfield. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark dominance of violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 43.1% of the total, with 25 incidents reported. This category’s rate of 4.6 per 1,000 is 68% above the UK average, highlighting a significant localised issue. Anti-social behaviour. (7 incidents), showed a notable decline, dropping by 58.8% from 17 to 7. This may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the return to school and university term-time activities, which could have altered community dynamics. The data also indicates a sharp increase in drugs-related offences, which rose by 100% from 2 to 4, and other theft, which surged by 300% from 1 to 4. These spikes may be linked to the influx of students during freshers’ week, a common occurrence in areas with educational institutions. Meanwhile, burglary and vehicle crime both saw reductions, with burglary falling by 75% and vehicle crime decreasing by 60%, reflecting heightened awareness or targeted local efforts. The overall picture suggests a combination of seasonal transitions and localised factors, with violent crime remaining a critical area for focus. As the nights draw in and the academic year progresses, continued monitoring will be essential to understand whether these trends persist or shift further.

September 2023 marked a sharp rise in other theft, which increased by 300% compared to the previous month, with incidents rising from 1 to 4. This surge, coupled with a 100% increase in drugs-related offences, points to emerging patterns that may be influenced by seasonal factors such as university freshers’ week. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 75%, dropping from 4 to 1, a decline that could reflect improved security measures or reduced opportunities during the month. Vehicle crime also saw a 60% reduction, falling from 5 to 2, linked to lower traffic volumes or increased parking enforcement. While violent crimes remained the largest category (43.1% of total), their rate of 4.6 per 1,000 was 68% above the UK average, underscoring a persistent challenge in this category. Anti-social behaviour, however, decreased by 58.8%, from 17 to 7, suggesting a possible impact of local initiatives or seasonal changes in community activity.

Huthwaite’s crime rate in September 2023 dropped by 13.4% compared to the previous month, falling from 12.4 to 10.7 per 1,000 residents. This decline contrasts with the area’s 33.7% above the UK average, highlighting a localised trend that diverges from national patterns. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported in Huthwaite over the 30-day period, equating to a localised frequency that may reflect the area’s specific dynamics. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 93 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the built-up area’s population of 5,420. This rate, while lower than the previous month, remains higher than the UK average, suggesting persistent local challenges that may require targeted interventions. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while the overall rate has decreased, the area still experiences crime at a rate significantly above the national benchmark, warranting continued monitoring of both trends and underlying factors.
