Huthwaite Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Huthwaite's crime rate for September 2025 stands at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 5.4% above the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This rate reflects a mixed picture of crime trends, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 42.9% of all reported incidents—far exceeding the UK average for this category. Criminal damage and arson also feature prominently, contributing 11.9% of total crimes and surpassing the national rate by 70%. These findings underscore a pattern of higher-than-average incidents in categories linked to public order and property. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour, though still a concern, remains 40% below the UK average, suggesting some areas of relative safety. The seasonal context of September—marked by back-to-school transitions and the start of university freshers’ week—may influence patterns of activity, though the exact relationship between these events and crime remains speculative. The built-up nature of Huthwaite, with its mix of residential and commercial spaces, likely contributes to the higher incidence of violent crime compared to more rural or isolated areas. This data highlights both challenges and opportunities for local authorities, as they work to address persistent issues while building on areas of improvement.

September 2025 saw a 50% decrease in shoplifting, bringing the count to two incidents from four in August. This decline may reflect heightened awareness among retailers or seasonal shifts in consumer behaviour as the area transitions from summer to autumn. Conversely, vehicle crime rose by 100%, with one incident reported—a stark contrast to August’s zero cases. This increase could be linked to changing traffic patterns or unsecured vehicles during the early evening. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 20%, from five to four incidents. Violence and sexual offences remained 28% above the UK average at 3.3 per 1,000, while anti-social behaviour was 40% below the national rate. These divergent trends highlight the complexity of local crime dynamics, with some categories showing marked improvement and others persisting at elevated levels.

Huthwaite's crime rate rose to 7.8 per 1,000 in September 2025, a 7.6% increase from 7.2 per 1,000 in August. This shift aligns with the monthly exposure figure: over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 129 residents. While this rate is slightly above the UK average, the daily context shows a manageable level of activity, with approximately one crime reported each day in the built-up area. The population-scaled perspective reveals that crime remains relatively low compared to the UK average, with only 5420 residents in Huthwaite. However, the upward trend in certain categories—such as violence and sexual offences—suggests a need for continued monitoring. The local context, including back-to-school transitions and shifting daylight patterns, may influence patterns of activity, though these factors remain speculative without further data.
