Brimington Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Brimington's crime rate in September 2025 was 4.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 33.8% below the UK average of 7.4. This marked improvement from the previous month’s rate of 8.0 reflects a broader trend of declining violence and sexual offences, which fell by 56% to 22 cases. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violent offences (40% of total crimes), followed by public order (20%) and anti-social behaviour (12.7%). Despite the seasonal influx of students and the start of term, violence and sexual offences remain 26% below the UK average, a discrepancy that may stem from local policing strategies or community cohesion. Public order offences, however, surged to 85% above the national average, potentially linked to increased foot traffic in retail and leisure hubs. The seasonal context—back-to-school routines and shorter evenings—may have contributed to the rise in public order issues, though the absence of a corresponding spike in property crime suggests effective community engagement. Anti-social behaviour, though down 30% from August, still remains 49% below the UK average, indicating a consistent effort to address nuisance crime. These patterns highlight Brimington’s unique position as a built-up area within Chesterfield, where localized efforts to manage seasonal pressures appear to have mitigated broader national trends.

September 2025 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with burglary surging by 300% month-on-month (1 to 4 cases), a sharp rise that may partly explain the 85% gap in public order offences compared to the UK average. Meanwhile, violent crime fell by 56%, from 50 to 22 cases, a drop that aligns with the seasonal lull in university freshers' events. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 30%, though this was offset by a 100% increase in bicycle theft and possession of weapons. The data reveals a shift in the crime mix, with property crimes (13 cases) accounting for 23.6% of total incidents, compared to 40% for violent offences. This imbalance suggests that while community-focused initiatives may be curbing aggression, targeted measures for securing personal property are needed. A resident might find the 2-crime-per-day figure useful for understanding local risks, though the low overall rate underscores Brimington's relative safety.

Brimington's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a 39.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.0. This decline positions the area significantly below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, reflecting a 33.8% gap. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that, while modest, highlights the consistency of local policing efforts. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 206 residents. This statistic, though abstract, offers a tangible sense of the area's relative safety compared to national benchmarks. The reduction in violent crime—down 56% from August—contrasts with the 85% increase in public order offences, a category where Brimington's rate is higher than the UK average. These shifts suggest a combination of community engagement and local enforcement strategies, particularly as the area navigates seasonal transitions into autumn.
