Brimington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington’s November 2025 crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents places it 11.0% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This relative safety is driven by a marked reduction in anti-social behaviour (down 62% compared to the UK average) and a modest decline in property crime. However, violent crime remains a focal point, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 60.8% of all incidents—56% above the national average. This pattern is consistent with Brimington’s position as a built-up area within Chesterfield, where urban density and proximity to industrial zones may contribute to higher rates of violent crime. Seasonal factors also play a role, as November’s dark evenings and Bonfire Night events likely amplify public order issues, which saw a 70% increase over the UK average. Meanwhile, property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remain relatively low. The month’s data underscores a combination of local demographics, seasonal events, and regional crime trends. For instance, the 11% gap with the UK average may partly reflect Brimington’s smaller population and more tightly knit community structures, which can deter certain types of crime. However, the surge in public order offences highlights the need for targeted interventions during periods of heightened social activity. Overall, the crime profile illustrates a town grappling with localized challenges while maintaining a broader safety margin compared to the national context.

The most dramatic month-on-month swing was a 200% increase in public order offences, rising from three to nine incidents. This spike, occurring amid dark evenings and Bonfire Night, may reflect heightened community tensions or increased police visibility in public spaces. Concurrently, burglary and theft from the person each saw 100% increases, though these remain low in absolute terms. Brimington’s violent crime rate of 4.0 per 1,000—56% above the UK average—contrasts with a 62% reduction in anti-social behaviour, which fell from six to four incidents. This divergence suggests that while some crime types are rising, others are being effectively managed. For residents, the sharp rise in public order offences is a key concern, as these incidents often occur in high-traffic areas and may impact local quality of life. The overall crime rate, though up, remains 11% below the UK average, indicating that Brimington continues to perform better than the national benchmark in most categories.

Brimington's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 29.8% compared to the previous month, moving from 5.0 to 6.5 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, still places the area 11.0% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly two crimes reported per day over the 30-day period, with one crime occurring for every 153 residents during the month. While the overall rate has climbed, the distribution of crime types shows mixed trends. For instance, anti-social behaviour decreased by 33.3% compared to October, suggesting a possible seasonal shift or local interventions. However, the sharp rise in public order offences—doubling in count—highlights a specific area of concern. This daily crime context provides residents with a tangible measure of risk, though such figures are aggregates and do not reflect real-time fluctuations. The population-scaled perspective underscores that Brimington remains relatively safer than the national average, even as local dynamics evolve.
