Creswell Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Creswell recorded 54 crimes, equating to one reported incident for every 97 residents. This figure, while lower than the previous month’s rate, places the area 28.4% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. The crime profile for the month was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 38.9% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (27.8%) and shoplifting (11.1%). These figures reflect a pattern that aligns with the area’s character as a built-up region within Bolsover, where community interactions and local events may contribute to higher rates of certain crime types. The summer season, with its longer evenings and increased social activity, may partly explain the rise in anti-social behaviour and public order offences, which saw a 50% increase compared to the previous month. However, the significant drop in violent crimes—down 40% from 35 to 21—suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal factors may have played a role in curbing this category. Shoplifting, though still elevated at 90% above the UK average, showed a notable decrease from its previous month’s peak. The UK comparison data reveals that while violence and sexual offences are 40% above the national average, categories like criminal damage and arson are 31% below, indicating a mixed picture of local crime trends. This contrast may be influenced by Creswell’s proximity to rural areas, where property crime rates are typically lower, or by the presence of community initiatives aimed at reducing specific types of criminal activity. The overall crime rate, though a concern, remains a focal point for local authorities and residents, who must balance the need for vigilance with the recognition of progress in reducing certain categories of crime.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime trends within Creswell. Anti-social behaviour increased by 50.0%, rising from 10 to 15 incidents, while possession of weapons surged by 100.0%, with two reported cases compared to none in the previous month. These rises, coupled with a 50.0% increase in public order offences, suggest a shift in the nature of local challenges. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 40.0%, dropping from 35 to 21, and other theft incidents plummeted by 84.6%, decreasing from 13 to 2. This divergence highlights a combination of crime categories, with violent crimes now accounting for 38.9% of the total, significantly above the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.9 per 1,000, is 104% above the UK average, a figure that would be of particular interest to local residents and community leaders. Meanwhile, categories like criminal damage and arson (31% below the UK average) and vehicle crime (46% below) indicate areas where Creswell's profile diverges from the national trend. These shifts may reflect changes in policing strategies, seasonal factors, or evolving community dynamics.

Creswell's crime rate in June 2025 dropped to 10.4 per 1,000 residents, a 27.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 14.2 per 1,000. This decline, while notable, still places the area 28.4% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show 2 incidents reported each day on average, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area's persistent challenges with certain types of crime. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 97 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents relative to the population of 5,211. When scaled to the local context, this equates to a crime occurring approximately every 4.5 days in the built-up area. While the overall rate has fallen, the disparity with the UK average underscores the need for targeted interventions, particularly in areas where crime types like anti-social behaviour and violence remain high. This comparison reveals that Creswell's crime profile is distinct from the national average, with specific categories—such as violence and sexual offences—exceeding UK rates by significant margins.
