South Normanton and Pinxton Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

South Normanton and Pinxton’s December 2025 crime rate of 6.8 per 1,000 residents places the area 2.9% below the UK average, a position that underscores its relatively safer profile compared to national trends. This figure, however, masks a complex picture shaped by seasonal dynamics and local demographics. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, contributing 51% of all reported incidents—nearly double the UK average for this category. This spike may be linked to the area’s proximity to larger urban centres, where such crimes are more prevalent, or to the increased social interactions during the Christmas season. Anti-social behaviour, though a smaller share of total crimes (11.5%), surged by 120% month-on-month, a jump consistent with the darker evenings and heightened foot traffic in local high streets during the festive period. Meanwhile, shoplifting and burglary rates remained well below UK averages, likely due to the area’s rural nature and limited retail infrastructure. These patterns suggest that while the built-up area within Bolsover benefits from lower baseline crime rates, seasonal fluctuations and local social dynamics can still drive short-term increases. The data also highlights a stark contrast between violent crimes and property crimes: the former are concentrated in this area, while the latter are sparse, a divergence that may reflect both the community’s characteristics and the challenges of policing in sparsely populated regions.

December 2025 saw sharp increases in anti-social behaviour (+120%), theft from the person (+100%), and possession of weapons (+100%), reflecting seasonal tensions and holiday-related disruptions. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type, accounting for 51% of all incidents, a rate 36% above the UK average. This contrast with significantly lower rates for shoplifting (65% below UK average) and burglary (64% below UK average), likely influenced by the area’s rural character and limited retail presence. Drug-related crimes fell by 40%, possibly due to reduced nightlife activity during the festive season. The 20% monthly rise in the overall crime rate, despite remaining below the UK average, highlights the need for targeted interventions during high-traffic periods like Christmas.

South Normanton and Pinxton’s crime rate in December 2025 rose to 6.8 per 1,000 residents, a 20% increase from the previous month’s 5.6 per 1,000. This shift reflects a growing local concern. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the ongoing need for community vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 148 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the impact of crime on the local population. With a population of 14,178, the area’s lower-than-average crime rate suggests effective local policing or community initiatives, though the upward trend in December highlights seasonal pressures. The absence of a UK-wide daily crime comparison means local context must be interpreted through the lens of regional patterns, such as the influence of rural isolation or seasonal events like Christmas.
