Huthwaite Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Huthwaite’s crime rate in September 2024 recorded at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 14.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance highlights a consistently lower crime profile compared to national benchmarks, a trend that has likely been influenced by the area’s built-up character and smaller population. The most prevalent crime types were vehicle crime and violence and sexual offences, each accounting for 19.4% of total incidents. Vehicle crime, in particular, remains a standout concern, with its rate at 1.3 per 1,000 residents—189% above the UK average. This disparity may be linked to Huthwaite’s proximity to major transport routes and the presence of residential areas with limited parking, creating conditions conducive to vehicle-related theft. Conversely, violence and sexual offences in the area are 50% below the UK average, a figure that could be attributed to the area’s more tightly knit community structure and lower levels of transient populations. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role, as September marks the return of students to educational institutions, a period that typically sees a shift in local crime dynamics. The start of the academic term may have contributed to a reduction in alcohol-fueled violence, while the transition to shorter evenings could have influenced patterns of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. These seasonal shifts underscore the importance of contextual analysis when interpreting crime data, as local rhythms and demographics can significantly shape the crime profile of even small built-up areas.

September 2024 marked a stark contrast in crime trends for Huthwaite, with vehicle crime experiencing a 600% increase, rising from one incident to seven. This surge, though significant, was offset by a 61.1% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 18 to 7. The drop in violent crime may reflect the return of students to educational institutions, reducing opportunities for alcohol-fueled incidents in local areas. Meanwhile, public order offences saw a 200% increase, rising from one to three, possibly linked to the start of the academic term and increased foot traffic in key locations. Vehicle crime in Huthwaite is 189% above the UK average, a figure that highlights the area’s unique vulnerabilities. This disparity is consistent with Huthwaite’s built-up character, where a higher concentration of vehicles in limited spaces may contribute to targeted theft. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 73.3%, a reduction that may be attributed to the seasonal shift and the start of the school year, which could have altered local demographics and activity patterns.

Huthwaite's crime rate in September 2024 stood at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, a 23.4% reduction from the previous month’s rate of 8.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as September marks the transition from summer to autumn, with fewer tourists and reduced evening activity in the area. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, reflecting a relatively low level of criminal activity compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the local population, this translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 151 residents over the course of the month. While this figure may seem low, Huthwaite’s small population and built-up nature contribute to a concentrated crime profile, where a limited number of incidents can have a noticeable impact on local communities. The drop from August to September suggests a possible correlation with the return of students to academic institutions, which may have temporarily reduced opportunities for certain types of crime.
