Clowne Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Violent crime dominated Clowne's crime profile in January 2026, accounting for 34% of all reported incidents. With 17 cases recorded, this category alone contributed to a rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents—28% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. The overall crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents placed the built-up area 23.5% below the national average of 6.8, a gap that underscores Clowne's relatively safer environment compared to other parts of the UK. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, rose sharply to 10 incidents (20% of total crimes), a rate of 1.0 per 1,000 that was 8% above the UK average. This trend may be linked to the post-holiday period, when reduced retail footfall and shorter days could alter community dynamics. Public order offences, at 7 incidents (14% of total), saw a 67% increase compared to the UK average, suggesting a particular challenge in managing disruptive behaviour in shared spaces. The seasonal context of January—marked by shorter daylight hours and a post-Christmas lull in retail activity—likely contributes to these patterns, though the absence of major events or festivals in the area suggests other factors may be at play. The lower rates of property crime, with only 11 incidents (22% of total), further distinguish Clowne's profile from more densely populated areas where theft and burglary often dominate.

Violent crime remains the dominant category, accounting for 34% of all incidents in January 2026, with a rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents—28% below the UK average for this category. This contrast with the 67% increase in public order offences, which reached 0.7 per 1,000, highlights a shift in the crime mix toward more community-focused disruptions. Anti-social behaviour surged by 150%, climbing from 4 to 10 incidents, a jump that may reflect seasonal factors such as post-holiday social dynamics or changes in local activity patterns. Meanwhile, 'other crime' saw a 200% increase, rising from 1 to 3 incidents—a stark contrast to the 87% UK average for this category. The sharp rise in drugs-related offences, doubling from 0 to 1 incident, and the 20% drop in shoplifting, which fell from 5 to 4, illustrate the volatility of specific crime types. Residents may find the 150% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly concerning, as it directly impacts daily life in shared spaces.

Clowne's crime rate in January 2026 rose 4.2% compared to December 2025's 5.0 per 1,000.5% below the UK average of 6.8. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of 2 reported incidents per day in the built-up area, a figure that contextualises the pace of activity in a community of 9,690 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 194 residents, a monthly exposure rate that reflects the area's relatively low overall crime levels compared to national benchmarks. This figure is particularly meaningful for residents, offering a tangible sense of risk in a local context where crime is not a daily occurrence. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Clowne's crime profile is distinct from larger urban centres, with its lower rates aligning more closely with rural or semi-rural areas despite being a built-up district. The slight month-on-month increase, though modest, suggests a need to monitor trends in specific categories such as anti-social behaviour and other crime, which saw significant upward shifts.
