South Normanton and Pinxton Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in South Normanton and Pinxton, 6.5 crimes were reported in August 2025, placing the area 19.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This rate, while lower than the national benchmark, reveals a distinct local profile shaped by the area’s character as a built-up region within Bolsover. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (47.8% of total), public order issues (12.0%), and anti-social behaviour (10.9%), reflecting patterns often associated with small towns where community interactions and local amenities can influence crime dynamics. August, a peak holiday month, likely contributed to the rise in public order offences, as increased tourism and transient populations may amplify disruptions in public spaces. Conversely, anti-social behaviour saw a 16.7% decline from July, possibly linked to seasonal adjustments in community engagement or temporary shifts in local demographics. The area’s crime profile also shows marked differences from the UK average: violent crime rates are 8% higher than the national figure, while shoplifting and burglary rates are significantly lower (68% and 26% below the UK average respectively). This contrast may stem from the area’s relatively low retail density and limited commercial activity compared to larger urban centres. The overall crime rate, though lower than the UK average, underscores the need to address the specific challenges posed by violent and public order incidents, which could be influenced by factors such as local employment patterns, youth activity, or the impact of holidays on social cohesion.

August 2025 saw a sharp increase in public order crimes, rising by 175% to 11 incidents from 4 in July. This surge, combined with a 100% rise in other thefts to 8 cases, points to a shift in the crime mix toward non-violent but socially disruptive offences. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour decreased by 16.7%, a decline that may reflect targeted interventions or seasonal changes in community activity. Violent crimes, while remaining the most prevalent category at 47.8% of total incidents, were 8% above the UK average for this category, suggesting a localised concentration of aggression or conflict. The drop in shoplifting by 25% to three incidents offers a contrasting trend, potentially influenced by increased retail security measures or reduced foot traffic during peak holiday periods. These fluctuations illustrate the combination of local factors and broader crime patterns.

The crime rate in South Normanton and Pinxton for August 2025 rose by 16.5% compared to July’s rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a notable upward shift in reported incidents. Daily crime activity averaged approximately three incidents per day over the 31-day period, a figure that provides a tangible snapshot of local activity. When scaled to the population of 14,178 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 154 residents. This metric offers a direct measure of risk for individuals living or working in the area. While the overall rate remains 19.8% below the UK average, the month-on-month increase suggests a potential shift in local dynamics, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the influx of holidaymakers or changes in community activity patterns. The contrast between August’s figures and the broader UK context underscores the area’s unique position within national crime trends.
