Creswell Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Creswell during October 2025 reveals a distinct balance of violent and property-related offences that diverges from the UK average. With a total crime rate of 11.3 per 1,000 residents—46.8% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000—the area’s crime profile is shaped by a combination of factors. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 30.5% of all reported crimes, a figure significantly higher than the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 23.7% of incidents, and stood 114% above the UK average. This suggests a community grappling with persistent issues of disorder, potentially exacerbated by seasonal factors such as the transition to darker evenings and the Halloween period, which may contribute to increased public visibility of anti-social activity. Burglary, though a smaller proportion of total crimes (11.9%), was 333% above the UK average, indicating vulnerabilities in residential security that could be tied to the built-up nature of Creswell and the potential for opportunistic crime. The seasonal context of October—marked by shorter daylight hours and Halloween—likely plays a role in these patterns, as darker conditions may increase the risk of certain crimes. The interplay between these factors highlights the need for targeted interventions to address both the specific types of crime prevalent in Creswell and the underlying social dynamics that may contribute to their persistence.

October 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories within Creswell. Other theft increased by 200% (from 2 to 6 incidents), a sharp rise that could indicate heightened activity in local retail or residential areas. Burglary also surged by 133.3% (3 to 7), potentially linked to seasonal factors such as Halloween or increased indoor activity during darker evenings. Vehicle crime doubled (2 to 4), influenced by changes in parking patterns or increased vehicle presence in the area. Conversely, public order offences fell by 85.7% (7 to 1), a stark contrast that may reflect temporary shifts in community behaviour or policing focus. Violent crimes in Creswell—accounting for 30.5% of all reported incidents—were 32% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a disparity that may relate to the area’s demographics or localised tensions. These shifts highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Creswell, where certain categories fluctuate dramatically month to month.

Creswell's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 11.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.9% increase from the previous month's rate of 9.6 per 1,000. This upward trend suggests a growing challenge in maintaining public safety compared to the prior month. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly two crimes per day over the course of October, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents for local residents. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for every 88 residents, highlighting the proportion of the population directly affected by criminal activity. This rate, while specific to Creswell, contrasts with broader UK averages but must be contextualised within the area’s unique characteristics, such as its built-up environment and seasonal factors like darker evenings and Halloween activities. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the absolute number of crimes may seem manageable, the relative impact on the community is significant, particularly in a smaller, tightly knit area like Creswell.
