Clowne Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Clowne’s December 2025 crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 residents places it 28.6% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, a figure that underscores the area’s generally lower criminal activity compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 41.7% of all incidents, followed by other theft and shoplifting, each contributing 10.4% to the total. This distribution reflects a mix of persistent challenges in personal safety and emerging patterns in property crime. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these figures, as December’s dark evenings, holiday shopping periods, and the temporary absence of residents during the festive season may have influenced both the frequency and types of crimes reported. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (57% below the UK average) and burglary (64% below) suggest that Clowne’s built-up area may benefit from stronger community cohesion or effective local policing strategies. However, the higher-than-average rate for vehicle crime (8% above the UK) indicates a potential vulnerability in areas where vehicles are left unattended, particularly in residential zones. These patterns, while consistent with the area’s character as a semi-rural built-up area, also highlight the need for ongoing vigilance in addressing specific crime hotspots.

December 2025 saw a 400% increase in 'other theft' crimes, rising from 1 to 5 incidents—a stark contrast to the previous month’s figures. This jump, while not matched by any other category, suggests a sudden shift in criminal focus, possibly linked to holiday-related activity or specific local circumstances. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences fell by 33.3%, from 30 to 20, marking one of the most significant decreases in the dataset. This decline may reflect the impact of seasonal factors, such as shorter evenings and reduced public gatherings, though it is difficult to isolate a single cause. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 33.3%, from 6 to 4, aligning with the broader reduction in violent crime. Meanwhile, shoplifting increased by 150% (2 to 5), a figure that, while lower than the theft surge, still indicates a growing challenge for retailers. The area’s performance against UK averages also reveals stark contrasts: anti-social behaviour was 57% below the UK rate, but vehicle crime was 8% above, highlighting a unique mix of local conditions.

Clowne's crime rate in December 2025 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 12.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as December typically sees reduced outdoor activity and fewer public events compared to November. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 202 residents, reflecting a relatively low level of exposure compared to the UK average. Daily crime counts averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure consistent with the area’s historical pattern of sporadic rather than concentrated criminal activity. The population context further underscores the area’s safety: with 9,690 residents, the low overall rate suggests that most residents are unaffected by crime on a monthly basis. However, the shift in crime types—particularly the sharp rise in other theft—highlights localized vulnerabilities that may require targeted attention.
