Brimington Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington's crime profile in October 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, with violence and sexual offences dominating at 50.9% of all recorded incidents. This is significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.7 per 1,000 vs 2.6 per 1,000), though Brimington's overall rate of 5.0 per 1,000 remains 35.1% below the UK's 7.7 per 1,000. The area's crime mix suggests a built-up environment with a pronounced focus on interpersonal violence, possibly influenced by its integration within Chesterfield's broader urban network. Property crimes account for 31.6% of the total, with other theft (14.0%) and anti-social behaviour (10.5%) forming the next most common categories. Seasonal factors in October — including darker evenings and Halloween — may have amplified certain crime patterns. The relatively low rate of vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.4 per 1,000) suggests effective parking management or limited high-traffic areas. Anti-social behaviour is 60% below the UK average, reflecting community policing efforts or the area's smaller scale. These figures illustrate a locale where violent crime is a primary concern, but where property-related incidents remain proportionally lower than national trends.

October 2025 saw a dramatic surge in 'other theft' crimes, rising from 3 to 8 (+166.7%), suggesting a sharp increase in unclassified theft incidents. This category is 35% above the UK average, indicating a specific local pattern. Vehicle crime also doubled from 2 to 4 (+100%), potentially linked to seasonal changes in parking habits or increased vehicle movement during darker evenings. Meanwhile, public order offences dropped sharply from 11 to 3 (-72.7%), a decrease that may reflect the impact of Halloween-related events being confined to specific areas. The crime mix remains heavily skewed towards violence and sexual offences (50.9% of total), a share significantly higher than the UK average for this category. Residents might find the 35% above UK average for 'other theft' particularly relevant, as it could signal targeted activity in certain sectors of Brimington.

Brimington's crime rate in October 2025 rose slightly to 5.0 per 1,000 residents from 4.9 per 1,000 in September, a 3.5% increase. This places the area in the lower end of the UK's average crime rate, which stands at 7.7 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day across the built-up area, with one crime occurring for every 199 residents over the course of the month. The population context highlights that Brimington's smaller size and lower density likely contribute to the relatively low crime figures compared to larger urban centres. While the increase from September is modest, the daily crime context provides a tangible measure for residents: in any given day, the likelihood of a crime occurring is low but not negligible. This perspective helps frame the data in terms of personal risk rather than abstract statistics.
