Creswell’s crime rate in September 2025 was 9.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.7% above the UK average of 7.4. This disparity underscores the area’s distinct position within national crime trends. The top three crime types were violence and sexual offences (24% of total), anti-social behaviour (22%), and public order offences (14%). These figures reflect the influence of local factors, such as the area’s proximity to educational institutions and the seasonal impact of back-to-school activities. The rise in public order and criminal damage offences, coupled with a decline in anti-social behaviour, suggests a dynamic interplay between community engagement and external pressures. September’s context—marked by the start of academic terms and shorter evenings—likely contributes to increased public order incidents, as seen in the 133.3% month-on-month rise. Meanwhile, the relatively lower rate of violence and sexual offences compared to the UK average may be attributed to local policing strategies or community initiatives. However, the significant overperformance in anti-social behaviour and public order offences highlights the need for targeted interventions. The area’s built-up nature within Bolsover, combined with its rural-urban interface, may exacerbate these challenges, requiring a nuanced approach to crime prevention. Understanding these patterns is essential for aligning resources with local needs, ensuring that Creswell’s unique profile informs effective policy decisions.
