Violence and sexual offences accounted for nearly half of all reported crimes in Carlton in Lindrick during November 2025, highlighting this category as the dominant driver of the area’s crime profile. With a total crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents, the built-up area within Bassetlaw recorded a 17.8% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area’s relatively safer standing nationally. The breakdown shows that 14 violent crimes, including sexual offences, constituted 41.2% of the 34 total incidents, reflecting a persistent focus on interpersonal crime. This may partly explain the absence of significant spikes in property-related crimes, which accounted for just 29% of the total. Seasonal factors likely contribute to the current dynamics: November’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events may have influenced the timing and nature of violent incidents without further data. Anti-social behaviour, at 26.5% of total crimes, also remained prominent, suggesting ongoing challenges in community engagement and local disorder management. The area’s low population density and rural-urban mix may temper crime rates compared to larger urban centres, but targeted interventions could further address the overrepresentation of violent crimes. The contrast with UK averages in specific categories—such as robbery and vehicle crime—also indicates areas for local focus, as these rates exceed national norms by 264% and 25% respectively. These figures, while concerning, remain contextually limited by the small overall number of incidents in Carlton in Lindrick.
