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.
