Brimington Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Brimington’s crime profile in December 2025, accounting for 70% of all reported incidents. This category, at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, was 95% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the area’s overall rate of 7.1 per 1,000—which placed it just 1.4% above the national average. The month’s seasonal dynamics, including the Christmas shopping peak and extended dark evenings, likely contributed to the surge in violent crime. Public order offences also rose sharply, with a 59% gap above the UK average, potentially linked to increased social gatherings during the festive season. Other theft, though a smaller proportion of total crimes, saw a dramatic 150% increase, possibly driven by retail activity and holiday-related consumer behaviour. Meanwhile, categories like burglary and vehicle crime dropped significantly, suggesting a seasonal lull in property-related incidents. These patterns highlight the interplay between local demographics, such as the built-up area’s proximity to Chesterfield’s commercial hubs, and the month’s unique rhythms. The data also reveals a mixed picture for Brimington: while violent crime is elevated, property crime has seen a marked decline, reflecting the complex nature of urban crime profiles in the region.

December 2025 saw a 24.4% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 45 to 56 incidents—a category that is 95% above the UK average. This surge aligns with the month’s seasonal context, including dark evenings and holiday-related disruptions. Other theft cases surged by 150%, jumping from two to five, a shift that may reflect heightened retail activity during the Christmas shopping period. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 75%, likely due to reduced parking activity during the festive season. Burglary rates also dropped by 60%, possibly linked to fewer homes occupied over the holidays. The possession of weapons rose by 100%, a stark contrast to the UK average, which may indicate localised tensions or unexplained spikes in related incidents. These shifts underscore the need for targeted measures during high-traffic periods.

Brimington's crime rate in December 2025 rose to 7.1 per 1,000 residents, an 8.1% increase from the previous month's 6.5 per 1,000. This places the area slightly above the UK average. On a daily basis, approximately three crimes were reported each day in December, a figure that may resonate with local residents navigating the month’s usual rhythms. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 142 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the built-up area’s population of 11,324. While the overall rate has risen, the distribution of crime types reveals a combination of local factors and broader trends, with some categories showing marked shifts compared to the UK average. For instance, the significant drop in vehicle crime and burglary may reflect seasonal patterns, such as reduced outdoor activity during darker evenings or holiday-related absences from homes.
