Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in January 2025 stood at 6.5 per 1,000 residents, 8.5% below the UK average of 7.1. This figure, while low, contrasts sharply with the area's standout outlier: shoplifting, which occurred at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, 126% above the UK average. This discrepancy may reflect local retail dynamics, as Carlton in Lindrick, a built-up area within Bassetlaw, likely has a small but concentrated commercial presence that could attract targeted theft. The breakdown of crimes reveals a mix of property and violent offences, with shoplifting (21.6%) and violence and sexual offences (21.6%) each accounting for nearly a fifth of all incidents. This balance suggests a dual focus on both economic and social factors influencing crime. Seasonal context further shapes these patterns: January, a post-holiday month with shorter days and reduced retail footfall, may limit opportunities for outdoor crimes while increasing indoor thefts. The relatively low overall rate, combined with the sharp divergence in shoplifting, illustrates the complexity of local crime trends. While property crimes dominate, the significant drop in violent offences compared to the UK average (44% below) hints at broader community safety measures or demographic factors that may contribute to this area's unique profile. These findings underscore the need to consider both national averages and local specifics when interpreting crime data.

January 2025 saw a 300% increase in shoplifting cases, rising from 2 to 8 incidents, a sharp contrast to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This surge may reflect seasonal factors, such as post-holiday retail activity or targeted retail theft during quieter periods. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences fell by 61.9%, dropping from 21 to 8, a significant decline that aligns with reduced social gatherings typical in January. Criminal damage and arson also rose sharply, up 133.3% from 3 to 7, potentially linked to colder weather or increased property neglect. Vehicle crime fell 50.0%, with only one incident reported, a 51% deficit compared to the UK average. This suggests local measures may be effective in curbing vehicle-related crime, though the drop in shoplifting highlights areas needing closer attention. Residents might note that shoplifting rates are 126% above the UK average, a figure that warrants contextual analysis of local retail patterns.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate in January 2025 fell 12.0% compared to December 2024, dropping from 7.4 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with typical post-holiday patterns, where reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours may lower opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported each day in January, a figure that reflects the low overall rate but remains a local metric without UK-wide comparison. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 154 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. The population context further highlights that even with 37 crimes recorded, Carlton in Lindrick's crime profile remains significantly below the UK average, suggesting a stable environment compared to national trends. This monthly aggregate provides a snapshot of how infrequent crime is for residents, though it does not capture the full picture of local dynamics or seasonal fluctuations.
