The crime profile of South Normanton and Pinxton in January 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property-related offences. With a crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents—16.9% below the UK average—the area maintains its position as a relatively low-crime built-up area. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime mix, accounting for 38.6% of all reported incidents, a figure that sits 8% below the UK average for this category.

Property-related offences, particularly vehicle crime, show marked seasonal variation: the 0.6 per 1,000 rate for vehicle crime is 46% above the UK average, a figure that may be influenced by colder weather patterns and increased vehicle usage during winter. Public order offences also exceed the UK average by 30%, reflecting the area's proximity to recreational spaces or the impact of post-holiday social activity. The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period with reduced retail footfall and shorter days—likely contributes to the observed patterns, with outdoor crimes typically declining while vehicle-related incidents increase. This mix of crime types illustrates a dynamic picture where local characteristics, such as the area's built-up nature and seasonal rhythms, play a significant role in shaping the crime profile. The relatively low overall rate, despite some categories exceeding the UK average, underscores the importance of maintaining targeted interventions in areas where local conditions may amplify specific crime types.

Vehicle crime experienced a dramatic 350% increase in January 2025, rising from 2 to 9 incidents.

These shifts highlight the combination of seasonal factors and local crime patterns, with vehicle crime emerging as a critical area for further analysis.
