Carlton in Lindrick Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Carlton in Lindrick continues to maintain a crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 in March 2025, a figure that is 46.2% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This performance positions the area among the safest in the country, though localized trends reveal shifts worth noting. The most common crime types in March were violence and sexual offences (8 incidents, 33.3% of total), followed by criminal damage and arson (7 incidents, 29.2%). These categories highlight a balance between interpersonal crimes and property-related incidents, though both remain significantly lower than national averages. The seasonal context of March—transitioning to spring with longer evenings—may contribute to the slight increase in anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply by 200% compared to February. This could be linked to increased social activity in public spaces as the weather improves, though no definitive causal link is established. The area’s low crime rate is consistent with its character as a built-up area within Bassetlaw, where community cohesion and relatively low population density may deter certain types of crime. However, the 111% increase in criminal damage and arson compared to the UK average suggests localized vulnerabilities, tied to specific properties or environmental factors. While overall crime remains low, the data underscores the need for targeted awareness, particularly in areas experiencing spikes in anti-social behaviour and robbery, which emerged as new concerns in March.

March 2025 marked a sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, which increased by 200% from 1 to 3 incidents, a significant jump that may reflect seasonal shifts as evenings lengthen. Other theft also saw a 100% increase, doubling from 1 to 2 incidents, suggesting heightened vulnerability in specific areas or times. Robbery, previously absent, emerged as a new category with one reported incident, a concerning development that could signal evolving patterns in criminal activity. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1, due to reduced parking activity or improved security measures. These changes highlight a shifting crime mix, with property crimes (11) slightly outnumbering violent crimes (8), though both categories remain well below UK averages. For instance, violence and sexual offences in Carlton in Lindrick are 49% below the UK rate, while criminal damage and arson are 111% above, illustrating stark contrasts in local crime dynamics. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas experiencing spikes in anti-social behaviour and robbery.

Carlton in Lindrick's crime rate rose slightly to 4.2 per 1,000 in March 2025, a 4.2% increase from the previous month’s 4.0 per 1,000. This small upward trend contrasts with the area’s overall position as one of the safest in the UK, remaining 46.2% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of vigilance. Over the course of March, one crime occurred for every 238 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. This statistic, when considered alongside the population of 5,708, suggests that the vast majority of residents are unaffected by crime on a daily basis, though specific categories like anti-social behaviour and robbery show notable increases that warrant attention. The population-scaled perspective reinforces the area’s safety profile, even as localized spikes in certain crimes emerge.
