Chesterfield Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Chesterfield’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 10.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 23.5% increase above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure, while slightly lower than the previous month’s rate of 10.5 per 1,000, reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.3% of all incidents (428 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.3%) and public order offences (10.9%). These trends align with Chesterfield’s character as a mixed urban and semi-rural area, where high-street activity and community dynamics may contribute to elevated levels of violence and disorder. The summer months, with their longer days and increased foot traffic, likely amplify opportunities for public order crimes and anti-social behaviour. However, the data also reveals stark disparities compared to national averages: violence and sexual offences are 40% above the UK average, while public order offences are 86% higher. This suggests that local policing strategies and community engagement initiatives may need to be adapted to address these specific challenges. The lower rates of shoplifting (5% below the UK average) and bicycle theft (100% below) indicate areas where Chesterfield performs better than the national average, due to targeted prevention efforts or demographic factors. As the region transitions into the summer season, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to inform effective crime reduction strategies.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 700% increase in robbery, with incidents rising from 1 to 8. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a significant shift in criminal activity. Concurrently, vehicle crime surged by 96.4%, jumping from 28 to 55, likely reflecting increased summer traffic or vehicle-related opportunities. Burglary also rose by 28.6%, potentially linked to seasonal patterns or targeted property crimes. Conversely, theft from the person dropped sharply by 62.5%, from 8 to 3, possibly due to heightened awareness or seasonal changes in criminal focus. Violence and sexual offences, at 4.0 per 1,000 (40.3% of total crimes), remain 40% above the UK average, suggesting persistent challenges in this category. Public order offences, though fewer in number, are 86% above the UK average, indicating potential issues in community cohesion or policing effectiveness. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted strategies to address rising categories while building on reductions in others.

Chesterfield's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 10.0 per 1,000 residents, a 4.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.5 per 1,000. This slight decline contrasts with the sharp increases in certain crime categories, such as robbery and vehicle crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 35 crimes per day, highlighting the persistent volume of incidents despite the monthly drop. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 100 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. With a population of 106,045, this rate underscores the need for ongoing community engagement and policing efforts. The reduction in theft from the person by 62.5% suggests possible shifts in criminal activity patterns, potentially influenced by seasonal factors or targeted interventions. However, the rise in vehicle crime and burglary indicates areas where local strategies may need recalibration. These figures, while not directly comparable to national daily averages, offer a clear snapshot of Chesterfield’s crime profile relative to its own historical trends.
