Brimington Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington's July 2025 crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents places it 9.3% below the UK average, a notable position for a built-up area within Chesterfield. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 56.8% of all reported incidents, though their rate (4.4 per 1,000) remains 45% above the UK average. This discrepancy suggests a localized concentration of violent incidents that may be linked to the area's urban character and summer-specific factors, such as increased foot traffic during festivals or the absence of school holidays. Criminal damage and arson, at 1.2 per 1,000, are 97% above the UK average, marking the most unexpected finding of the month. This sharp rise could be partially explained by the peak of summer activities, which often coincide with outdoor events and temporary structures that may be vulnerable to vandalism. Anti-social behaviour, by contrast, is 55% below the UK average, a trend that may reflect community engagement efforts or the absence of large-scale gatherings. The overall crime mix shows a strong emphasis on violent offences compared to property crimes, which account for only 24.4% of incidents. This imbalance is consistent with Brimington's role as a suburban hub within a larger metropolitan area, where social interactions and proximity to urban centres may amplify certain types of crime. Seasonal context further supports this pattern: July's peak tourism, festivals, and extended daylight hours likely contribute to higher visibility of violent incidents and opportunities for criminal damage.

July 2025 saw a 333.3% surge in criminal damage and arson, rising from 3 to 13 cases—a stark anomaly compared to other categories. This jump, alongside a 200% increase in 'other crime' and a 100% rise in drug-related incidents, signals a sharp shift in crime dynamics. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by 42.9%, a decline that may reflect reduced outdoor activity or enhanced policing during summer festivals. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 56.8% of all crimes, though their rate (4.4 per 1,000) is 45% above the UK average. This contrast with the 97% above UK average for criminal damage and arson underscores a combination of local conditions and national trends. Residents may find the 1-in-129 monthly exposure rate particularly relevant, as it illustrates the frequency of incidents within their community.

Brimington's crime rate in July 2025 rose to 7.8 per 1,000 residents, a 37.5% increase from the previous month's 5.7 per 1,000. This upward trend contrasts with the area's overall 9.3% below the UK average, highlighting localized factors influencing crime patterns. On a daily basis, Brimington saw approximately three reported crimes per day in July, a figure that translates to one crime occurring for every 129 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the frequency of incidents relative to the population, though it remains lower than the UK average when considering the area's specific crime mix. The population context reveals that Brimington's 11,324 residents experience a relatively low level of crime compared to national benchmarks, but the sharp rise in certain categories—such as criminal damage and arson—suggests targeted pressures that may not be fully captured by aggregate statistics.
