Clowne Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Clowne's crime rate in October 2024 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, positioning the area 17.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This relative safety, while notable, coexists with a crime profile shaped by specific patterns: violence and sexual offences accounted for 56.9% of all reported crimes, significantly exceeding the UK average for this category. The area's crime picture is further defined by a mix of property and violent crimes, with the latter dominating, a trend consistent with smaller built-up areas where interpersonal conflicts may feature prominently. October's seasonal context—darker evenings, Halloween, and the clocks going back—likely contributed to the elevated rates of violence and anti-social behaviour, which saw sharp month-on-month increases. However, the overall rate remains well within the range typical for rural and semi-rural areas, where crime tends to be more concentrated in specific locales. The data suggests a combination of local demographics, such as the presence of commuter populations or transient residents, and environmental factors like the limited retail footprint in Clowne, which may dampen shoplifting compared to larger urban centres. These dynamics underscore how even modest variations in crime rates can reflect broader socio-economic conditions, requiring nuanced interpretation beyond raw numerical comparisons.

October 2024 saw sharp increases in shoplifting (+300%) and anti-social behaviour (+200%) compared to the previous month, with the latter now accounting for 13.9% of total crimes. This shift contrasts with significant declines in vehicle crime (-85.7%) and burglary (-66.7%), suggesting seasonal factors may influence certain crime types. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.8 per 1,000, remain 42% above the UK average for this category, a divergence that may reflect local demographics or environmental factors. Meanwhile, possession of weapons surged to 0.2 per 1,000, 186% above the UK average, a stark outlier that warrants closer examination. These fluctuations highlight how specific incidents can shape monthly trends, even within a broader context of relative safety.

Clowne's crime rate in October 2024 rose to 6.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 20.5% increase from the previous month's 5.6 per 1,000. This shift suggests a temporary uptick in local activity. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately two crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 149 residents. This ratio, while notable, reflects a pattern consistent with smaller built-up areas where community networks may mitigate broader systemic risks. The population context underscores that Clowne's crime profile, though trending upward, remains proportionally lower than national benchmarks. Such metrics are critical for understanding how local conditions intersect with broader regional trends, particularly in areas with limited urban infrastructure.
