Brimington Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington’s crime rate in May 2024 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 29.8% below the UK average of 8.4. This lower-than-average rate translates to a daily risk of roughly two crimes per day, a context that helps residents understand the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 46.3% of all reported crimes, though this rate was 5% below the UK average for this category. Other theft and anti-social behaviour followed, with the former seeing a sharp increase in May, while the latter remained well below national levels. These patterns may be influenced by the area’s character as a built-up part of Chesterfield, where urban density and community structures can shape crime dynamics. The seasonal context of May—marked by longer evenings and increased outdoor drinking and socialising—may have contributed to the rise in violent crimes, as extended daylight hours and warmer temperatures often correlate with higher rates of public disorder. However, the overall decline in property crimes, such as vehicle crime and criminal damage, suggests that efforts to secure vehicles and public spaces may be yielding results. The mix of crime types also reflects the area’s demographic profile, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences remaining lower than UK averages, indicating strong community cohesion or effective local policing strategies. For residents, the per-capita perspective offers reassurance that Brimington remains a safer area than the UK average, though the sharp rise in other theft serves as a reminder to remain vigilant in areas where such incidents are concentrated.

May 2024 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with other theft surging by 300% compared to April, driven by a rise from two to eight incidents. This increase, while notable, was offset by a 75% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from four to one. The category of anti-social behaviour remained below the UK average by 52%, suggesting that community engagement or local initiatives may be contributing to this trend. Violent crimes. of the total, were 5% below the UK average for this category, a small but consistent deviation that may reflect Brimington’s relatively stable social environment. Meanwhile, possession of weapons rose by 100%, an anomaly that could signal isolated incidents rather than a broader pattern. For residents, the most immediate concern appears to be the sharp increase in other theft, which suggests a need for heightened awareness in areas where such crimes are concentrated.

Brimington’s crime rate in May 2024 dropped to 5.9 per 1,000 residents, a 12.9% decrease from the previous month’s 6.8. This decline aligns with the seasonal shift toward longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, which may have encouraged community vigilance or reduced opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly two crimes per day, a figure that places Brimington among the safer built-up areas in the UK. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 169 residents, a ratio that suggests a relatively low risk of personal exposure compared to the UK average. When contextualised against the local population of 11,324, this means that most residents would not encounter crime during their daily routines, though the mix of violent and property crimes indicates that some areas or demographics may face higher risks. The reduction from April’s rate may also reflect the timing of school holidays, which often see temporary changes in local activity patterns.
