Huthwaite Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Huthwaite’s crime profile in July 2025 reveals a clear dominance of violent crime over property-related offences, with 17 violent crimes reported compared to 12 property crimes. This 39.5% share of violent crimes contrasts with the UK average, where violent offences account for roughly 35% of all crimes. The area’s overall crime rate of 7.9 per 1,000 residents is 8.1% below the UK average of 8.6, reflecting a combination of local factors and seasonal dynamics. July, a peak summer month with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely influenced patterns, as outdoor events and increased foot traffic may have contributed to higher rates of violence and anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour, at 20.9% of total crimes, and shoplifting, which rose 25% from the previous month, highlight vulnerabilities in public spaces. However, the significant drop in criminal damage and arson—down 50% compared to June—suggests that local efforts or seasonal changes may have mitigated risks in these areas. The balance between violent and property crime may indicate underlying social or environmental factors, such as the area’s built-up character within Ashfield, where high-density living and community interactions could shape crime trends. While the rate remains stable, the shift toward violent crime warrants attention, particularly as festivals and summer events continue to draw crowds.

July 2025 saw a 30.8% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 13 to 17 incidents. This shift suggests a growing emphasis on violent crime over property-related offences, which remained at 12. Other theft surged by 100% (from 0 to 5), a stark contrast to the 38% UK average for shoplifting. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, aligning with the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. The area’s violent crime rate (3.1 per 1,000) is 2% above the UK average for this category, while anti-social behaviour (1.7 per 1,000) is 10% above the national benchmark. These figures may partly explain the increased focus on violent crime, though seasonal factors like festivals and summer events could also play a role.

Huthwaite's crime rate in July 2025 remained stable compared to the previous month, with no change from 7.9 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no immediate spikes or dips in overall criminal activity, though local factors may still influence patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day in July, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,420 residents. When scaled to the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for every 126 residents over the course of the month. This rate is lower than the UK average but aligns with the area’s built-up nature within Ashfield, where community policing and local initiatives may contribute to sustained stability. The daily and monthly figures provide context for residents, showing that while crime is present, it remains relatively infrequent in this compact area.
