Staveley (Chesterfield) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Staveley (Chesterfield)’s November 2025 crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents places it 38.4% below the UK average of 7.3, a position reinforced by the dominance of violent crime. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 39.7% of all incidents, with a rate of 1.8 per 1,000—30% below the UK average. This suggests a local dynamic where interpersonal conflicts, possibly linked to seasonal factors like the end of the academic term or the onset of colder weather, remain a priority for local policing. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 20.7% of crimes, a figure 15% below the UK average. This may reflect the area’s character as a built-up zone with a mix of residential and commercial activity, where community cohesion and local initiatives could mitigate such incidents. However, the anomaly lies in 'Other crime,' which reached 0.3 per 1,000—87% above the UK average. This category’s surge, despite overall crime rates being low, hints at unexplained activity. Seasonal context, including Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, may have influenced patterns, with increased public order concerns and a notable rise in criminal damage and arson. These factors, combined with the area’s lower population density compared to major urban centres, likely contribute to its distinct crime profile.

November 2025 saw a sharp 200% increase in criminal damage and arson, with incidents rising from two to six. This spike, likely tied to Bonfire Night celebrations, contrasts with a 66.7% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from 12 to four. The rise in 'Other crime'—a category 87% above the UK average—suggests unexplained activity, though no specific data points clarify its nature. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained a consistent concern, accounting for 20.7% of total crimes, a figure 15% below the UK average. The significant reduction in vehicle crime may reflect seasonal patterns, with fewer cars on the road during darker evenings. Residents might find the 36% decline in public order offences noteworthy, as these often correlate with nightlife activity, which may have been subdued in November. These shifts illustrate how seasonal events and local context shape crime trends, even as broader patterns remain aligned with national averages.

Staveley (Chesterfield) recorded 58 crimes in November 2025, a 34.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.9 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area’s generally lower crime profile compared to the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, reflects the persistent presence of crime in a built-up area with a population of 12,988. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 224 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this community. When compared to the UK average, Staveley’s overall rate of 4.5 per 1,000 is 38.4% below the national figure, suggesting a combination of local policing strategies, community engagement, and the area’s character as a smaller, more tightly knit built-up zone within Chesterfield. These factors likely contribute to the sustained gap between local and national crime rates, even as specific categories like 'Other crime' show divergence from UK averages.
