Clowne Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a continued trend of lower-than-average crime in Clowne, with an overall rate of 5.1 crimes per 1,000 residents—31.1% below the UK average of 7.4. This built-up area within Bolsover, while not a major urban centre, has maintained a relatively stable crime profile compared to national benchmarks. The most common crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 32.7% of all reported incidents, followed by public order (16.3%) and anti-social behaviour (12.2%). These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of September, when back-to-school routines and the start of the academic year may influence local dynamics. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Clowne (1.7 per 1,000) was 34% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of community cohesion and effective local policing strategies. However, public order offences in the area were 48% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect the area’s mix of residential and commercial spaces, where late-night activity could contribute to such incidents. The lower-than-average rates for property crimes, particularly shoplifting (34% below UK levels) and vehicle crime (75% below), indicate that Clowne’s retail and transport infrastructure may be managed in ways that deter such offences. This stability contrasts with the UK’s broader trends, where property crimes often dominate, highlighting Clowne’s unique characteristics as a smaller, more tightly-knit built-up area.

September 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with notable increases in other theft (+100%), shoplifting (+100%), and robbery (+100%) compared to August. These spikes may be linked to the seasonal transition, as freshers’ week at nearby universities could have brought transient populations to the area, increasing opportunities for petty crime. Conversely, violence and sexual offences decreased by 42.9%, due to the winding down of summer activities and the return to structured routines. Vehicle crime also fell by 50%, which could reflect reduced car-related activity during the month. While public order offences remained 48% above the UK average, the overall balance between property and violent crimes shifted slightly, with property crimes now accounting for 38.8% of total incidents (compared to 32.7% for violent crimes). This shift may indicate a seasonal realignment in criminal activity, with property-related incidents becoming more prominent as the area adapts to the academic calendar. For residents, the sharp rise in other theft and shoplifting serves as a reminder to remain vigilant in retail areas and public spaces during the autumn months.

Clowne’s crime rate in September 2025 (5.1 per 1,000) represented a 13.9% decrease from August’s rate of 5.9, reflecting a downward trend that has continued over recent months. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day in September, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for consistent community vigilance. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 198 residents, a statistic that provides context for individual risk but does not suggest a significant threat to personal safety. This rate is lower than the UK average, with Clowne’s overall crime profile remaining 31.1% below national levels. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that the area’s crime burden is lighter than the UK average, a contrast that may be attributed to its smaller size and more localized policing efforts. While the daily crime count remains a useful metric for residents, it is essential to interpret it alongside the broader monthly exposure figure to avoid overestimating risk. The continued decline in violent crime, combined with the stability of property-related offences, suggests that Clowne’s built-up area maintains a safer environment than many comparable regions, particularly during the transition from summer to autumn.
