For residents of Carlton in Lindrick, the crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 in April 2024 translates to a daily risk that is lower than the UK average. This built-up area within Bassetlaw, with a population of 5,708, experiences crime at a rate 18.2% below the national average, a figure that underscores its relative safety compared to larger urban centres. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.3% of all reported incidents, followed closely by anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, each contributing 22.2%. These patterns may be influenced by the area’s character as a smaller, possibly more tightly knit community, where interpersonal conflicts and property damage could be more visible. Seasonal factors in April—such as Easter holidays and the transition to spring—likely play a role in shaping crime dynamics. While violence and sexual offences remain the largest single category, their rate is 18% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of local policing efforts and community cohesion. The sharp contrast with the UK average for criminal damage, which is 137% higher, indicates a specific challenge that may require targeted interventions. This data illustrates an area where most residents can expect to encounter crime at a level significantly lower than the national average, though certain categories—particularly criminal damage—require attention.

This contrasts with a 14.3% increase in anti-social behaviour, which rose from seven to eight incidents. Violence and sexual offences remained stable.1 per 1,000 is 18% below the UK average. Criminal damage and arson, however, stood at 1.4 per 1,000—137% above the national average—highlighting a local challenge. These shifts suggest a combination of seasonal activity and targeted crime prevention efforts. For residents, the drop in burglary may reflect heightened awareness around property security, while the rise in anti-social behaviour could indicate pressures from increased social interaction during Easter and spring events.

In April 2024, Carlton in Lindrick recorded a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents, a 25% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.4. This decline positions the area as one of the safer built-up areas in the UK, with a crime rate 18.2% below the national average. On a daily basis, approximately one crime is reported each day in the area, a figure that may feel more tangible when considered in context: over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for every 159 residents. This monthly exposure rate underscores the relatively low risk residents face compared to larger urban centres. The population of 5,708 further scales these figures, meaning individual risk is distributed across a smaller community. While anti-social behaviour and criminal damage remain local concerns, the overall trend of falling crime suggests a consistent reduction in incidents that may be linked to seasonal factors or ongoing local initiatives.
