Clowne Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Clowne's crime rate of 7.4 per 1,000 residents positioned the area 12.9% below the UK average, offering a relatively safer environment compared to national trends. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately two crimes per day — a figure that, while low, reflects the area's unique characteristics as a built-up district within Bolsover. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (26 cases, 36.1% of total), public order offences (12 cases, 16.7%), and anti-social behaviour (10 cases, 13.9%). These patterns suggest a community where interpersonal conflicts and public space dynamics play a significant role. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer — likely influenced these trends, with longer daylight hours and the early onset of tourism potentially contributing to increased social interactions in public areas. While violence and sexual offences remained the largest category, their rate (2.7 per 1,000) was 8% below the UK average, indicating a possible effectiveness of local policing or community engagement strategies. Public order offences, however, stood out as a stark contrast, being 79% above the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000. This anomaly may be linked to the area's built-up nature, where concentrated populations and limited green spaces could exacerbate tensions during peak summer activity. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average (32% below), still accounted for a notable share of crimes, suggesting that community-based interventions might be necessary to address underlying issues. The overall crime profile indicates a balance between relatively low rates of property crime and higher-than-average public disorder, a combination that may reflect Clowne's specific socio-economic and geographic context. This data, when viewed through the lens of per-capita risk, offers a nuanced picture: while the area is safer than the UK average overall, targeted efforts may be needed to address the specific challenges posed by public order offences.

June 2023 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with public order offences surging by 140% (from 5 to 12 cases) — a 79% jump above the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000. This spike aligns with the start of the summer season, when increased foot traffic in local parks and public areas may contribute to higher incidents of disorder. Other theft and other crime both rose by 150% (from 2 to 5 cases), though these remain below the UK average for their respective categories. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 62.5% (from 8 to 3 cases), possibly reflecting seasonal shifts in activity or targeted local initiatives. For residents, the most immediate concern is the 79% excess in public order offences compared to UK averages, suggesting a need for heightened awareness in communal spaces during warmer months.

Clowne's crime rate in June 2023 (7.4 per 1,000 residents) marked a 50.1% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.0 per 1,000. This rise, while notable, still positions the area 12.9% below the UK average. On a daily basis, residents faced an average of two reported crimes per day — a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in public spaces. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 135 residents, translating to a monthly exposure rate that is 1.4% lower than the UK average when adjusted for population. This statistic, though abstract, offers a tangible measure of risk: for every 100 residents, there was one crime reported. The population context further illustrates that Clowne's smaller size likely amplifies the visibility of crimes, even as the overall rate remains below national benchmarks. This contrast between local and national trends highlights the importance of community-specific factors in shaping crime patterns.
