Clowne Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Clowne’s crime profile in February 2026 reveals a marked shift toward violent crime, with 30 incidents—54.6% of all reported crimes—compared to 12 property-related offences. This stark imbalance, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 3.1 per 1,000 residents (34% above the UK average), contrasts with the UK’s broader trend of higher property crime rates. The area’s overall crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 remains 10.9% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of effective local policing and structural factors. However, the dominance of violent crime raises questions about community dynamics, particularly given February’s typically low outdoor activity, which may concentrate interactions in confined spaces such as residential areas or local businesses. Seasonal context—a pre-spring lull—may partially explain the rise in violent offences, though the absence of major events or holidays in Clowne suggests other drivers, such as social tensions or resource limitations in addressing non-violent crime. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, decreased by 50% from the previous month, a decline that may reflect targeted interventions or natural fluctuations. Meanwhile, shoplifting and other theft categories remain below UK averages, due to the area’s limited retail presence or higher community cohesion. These patterns underscore the need for tailored strategies to address the growing emphasis on violent crime while maintaining existing efforts to curb property offences.

February 2026 saw a 76.5% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 17 to 30 cases—a stark shift in the crime profile. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in vehicle crime and criminal damage, highlights a growing imbalance between property and violent crime. While anti-social behaviour decreased by 50%, the overall dominance of violent crime suggests a departure from seasonal norms typically associated with winter, such as reduced outdoor activity. Violence and sexual offences in Clowne are 34% above the UK average, a disparity that may reflect local factors such as community dynamics or resource allocation. Conversely, shoplifting and other theft categories are below UK averages, indicating that property crime remains less prevalent here than in other areas. These figures offer a nuanced picture: while some categories show marked improvement, the escalation in violent crime warrants targeted interventions.

Clowne’s crime rate in February 2026 rose 10.1% from the previous month’s 5.2 per 1,000 to 5.7 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. This increase, though modest, aligns with seasonal patterns typical of winter months, where reduced outdoor activity may concentrate interactions in smaller, more predictable spaces. Locally, this translates to an average of two crimes reported per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for sustained community vigilance. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 176 residents—a statistic that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 9,690, illustrates the relatively low frequency of incidents. However, this does not negate the impact of individual incidents on residents, particularly in areas where violent crime has surged. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate remains below the UK average, the distribution of crime types—particularly the dominance of violent offences—may suggest underlying social or environmental factors warranting further attention.
