Clowne Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Clowne recorded 55 crimes across its population of 9,690 residents, translating to a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This figure is 33.7% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile for the built-up area within Bolsover. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.5% of all reported incidents (25 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (14.6%, 8 cases) and criminal damage and arson (10.9%, 6 cases). These patterns align with the area's seasonal context, as July is typically a peak month for tourism, festivals, and outdoor events. The high incidence of violence and sexual offences may be partly explained by increased public gatherings and extended evening activity. Conversely, the sharp decline in shoplifting (-83.3%) could be attributed to the summer season, when retail areas may experience different foot traffic dynamics. The low crime rate for property crimes (16 cases) further underscores Clowne's comparatively safe environment, though this must be interpreted cautiously given its small population and localized nature. The overall crime rate, while lower than the UK average, still requires careful contextualization to avoid overgeneralization about the area's safety profile.

July 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Other theft cases surged by 200% (from 1 to 3), while drugs-related incidents doubled (from 0 to 1). Criminal damage and arson also rose sharply, increasing by 100% (from 3 to 6). These increases contrast with notable declines in shoplifting (-83.3%, from 6 to 1) and burglary (-50%, from 4 to 2). The violence and sexual offences category, which made up 45.5% of all crimes, remains 14% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also fell sharply by 33.3% (from 12 to 8), though it still lags 48% behind the UK average of 1.6 per 1,000. These shifts suggest a combination of seasonal factors, with the summer months potentially driving certain types of crime while reducing others. For residents, the drop in shoplifting may indicate that local retail areas are experiencing fewer incidents during the peak tourist season.

Clowne's crime rate in July 2025 fell to 5.7 per 1,000 residents, an 11.3% drop from the previous month's 6.4 rate. This decline aligns with the area's generally low crime profile, though it remains a built-up area within Bolsover. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported across 31 days, a figure that translates to roughly one reported crime for every 176 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure is significantly lower than the UK average, population size and local context shape these figures. Clowne's compact built-up area, combined with its smaller population, likely contributes to this lower frequency. The daily crime count is a useful metric for residents, offering a tangible sense of how often incidents occur in their immediate surroundings. This rate is also consistent with the area's seasonal patterns, as summer months often see shifts in crime distribution due to increased foot traffic and outdoor activity.
