Brimington Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington's crime rate in March 2023 stood at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 9.2% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure, while concerning, reflects the area's position as a built-up district within Chesterfield, where urban density and social activity may contribute to higher reported incidents. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 48.9% of all crimes, with a rate of 4.1 per 1,000—nearly double the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast with the national trend suggests that local factors, such as the area's proximity to larger urban centres or the presence of high-traffic public spaces, may play a role. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also exceeded UK averages by 15% and 25% respectively, indicating a broader pattern of disorderly incidents that could be tied to seasonal shifts. As March marks the transition to spring, the lengthening evenings and clock changes may influence criminal activity, with more opportunities for public order violations. However, the data also reveals some areas of relative strength: other theft was 15% below the UK average, and other crime was 33% below, suggesting that certain categories are being managed more effectively. These variations highlight the combination of local conditions and national trends, with Brimington's unique profile requiring tailored strategies to address its specific challenges.

March 2023 saw violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, accounting for 48.9% of all crimes, a rate 50% above the UK average. This concentration of violent crime may be linked to seasonal factors, as the transition to spring often correlates with increased social activity. Other theft was 15% below the UK average, suggesting a potential reduction in this category that could reflect improved security measures or changes in criminal behaviour. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also exceeded UK averages by 15% and 25% respectively, underscoring the need for targeted interventions in these areas. The relatively low rate of other crime—33% below the UK average—offers a rare positive note, though it remains a minor category in the overall breakdown. These disparities highlight the uneven distribution of crime across types, with violent and disorderly incidents dominating the landscape.

Brimington's daily crime rate in March 2023 averaged approximately three incidents per day, reflecting a consistent rhythm of reported activity in a built-up area within Chesterfield. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 120 residents, illustrating the frequency of crime in relation to the local population. With 11,324 residents, this figure provides a tangible sense of exposure for residents, though it remains a monthly aggregate rather than a daily measure. The population context highlights that while the overall rate exceeds the UK average, the distribution of incidents across the community may be influenced by local factors such as the area's urban density and social dynamics. This monthly exposure figure, when compared to the UK average, could suggest that Brimington's crime patterns align with broader regional trends, though the specific breakdown of crime types reveals distinct local characteristics.
