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.
