Clowne Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 marked a continuation of Clowne's consistently low crime profile, with an overall rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents—35.1% below the UK average of 7.7. This built-up area within Bolsover exhibits a distinct crime pattern, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 41.7% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.8%) and other theft (10.4%). The seasonal context of April, with its Easter period and spring weather, likely influenced these figures, as increased outdoor activity may have contributed to the 41.7% share of violent crimes while simultaneously reducing opportunities for shoplifting, which fell by 75% compared to the previous month. The area's crime picture contrasts sharply with national trends, particularly in violent crime, which is 20% below the UK average. This divergence may be attributed to Clowne's character as a semi-rural built-up area with limited nightlife and retail density, factors that typically correlate with lower rates of violent and public order offences. Anti-social behaviour, though remaining 32% below the UK average, saw a modest 12.5% increase, linked to seasonal transitions or changes in community dynamics during the Easter period. The overall balance of property and violent crime in Clowne reflects a community profile where violent incidents are less prevalent than in larger urban centres, with property crimes comprising 25.5% of the total. This suggests a crime environment shaped more by local social structures than by the high-density factors that drive crime in major cities.

April 2025 saw a marked decrease in shoplifting incidents, with reports falling by 75% from four to one. This aligns with the Easter period, when seasonal shifts may have redirected criminal activity away from retail areas. Conversely, other theft increased by 150%, rising from two to five incidents, suggesting a potential shift in criminal focus towards different property categories. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 12.5%, though it remains 32% below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences—accounting for 41.7% of all crimes—were 20% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast highlights the area's unique crime profile, with violent crime being less prevalent than the national trend. The significant drop in criminal damage and arson (60% decrease) may reflect seasonal factors, with warmer spring weather reducing incidents of vandalism and arson linked to harsher winter conditions.

Clowne's crime rate in April 2025 fell to 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a 32.5% decline from the previous month's 7.3 per 1,000. This represents a significant shift in the local crime picture, with the rate now 35.1% below the UK average. Daily crime statistics show an average of two reported incidents per day in April, a figure that reflects the area's generally low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 202 residents, highlighting the relatively sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. When viewed through a population-scaled lens, the 9,690 residents of Clowne experienced a crime rate that is lower than the national average, suggesting a combination of community factors and local policing efforts may be contributing to this trend. This monthly exposure figure, while low, serves as a useful benchmark for residents assessing their personal risk in comparison to national statistics.
