The crime mix in Carlton in Lindrick during September 2025 reveals a profile shaped by both local demographics and seasonal influences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.8% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.4%) and shoplifting (13.0%). This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts and minor public order issues, rather than property crime or large-scale theft. The overall crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000 residents is 45.9% below the UK average of 7.4, a gap that may be attributed to Carlton in Lindrick’s character as a smaller, possibly rural or semi-rural built-up area within Bassetlaw. Such areas often experience lower crime rates due to factors like reduced population density, limited commercial activity, or strong community ties. Seasonal context also plays a role: September’s back-to-school period and the start of university term may contribute to increased violent crime, as evidenced by the 34.8% share of violence and sexual offences. However, the 46.7% month-on-month decline in this category suggests that localised efforts or natural seasonal patterns—such as reduced summer-related gatherings—may be tempering these trends. The lower prevalence of shoplifting (13.0%) compared to the UK average (0.6 per 1,000) further supports the notion of a community where retail activity is either limited or well-managed. This crime profile, while not entirely free of concern, reflects a balance between local factors and broader national trends, with the area’s relative safety offering a contrast to more densely populated regions.
