Borrowash Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Borrowash’s crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents places it 55.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area’s comparatively low risk profile. The crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.4% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (22.2%) and vehicle crime (7.4%). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal and public order issues, which may be influenced by the area’s built-up nature and seasonal dynamics. The summer months, with their extended daylight hours and influx of visitors due to festivals and events, likely contribute to increased opportunities for certain types of crime, such as violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, indicating effective local measures or structural factors that mitigate criminal activity. For residents, this translates to a daily risk of encountering a crime roughly once every 31 days, a figure that, while not negligible, is far below the national context. The breakdown also reveals that Borrowash’s rates for key categories like anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime are consistently below UK averages, with anti-social behaviour at 0.8 per 1,000 (48% below the UK’s 1.6 per 1,000). This suggests that the area’s social fabric and community engagement may play a role in reducing these types of incidents. Seasonal factors, such as the peak of the tourism season and university-related events (if applicable), may also shape crime patterns. Overall, the crime profile reflects a balance between the challenges of managing public spaces during busy periods and the benefits of a tightly knit community that appears to deter more severe forms of crime.

July 2025 saw a 9.1% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 11 to 12 incidents. This uptick, though modest, aligns with the seasonal context of peak summer activity, where festivals and extended daylight hours may contribute to heightened interactions in public spaces. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 100%, with cases doubling from 3 to 6, potentially linked to increased foot traffic during local events. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, from 2 to 1, reflecting the impact of targeted community initiatives or seasonal shifts in criminal opportunity. Vehicle crime decreased by 33.3%, with incidents dropping from 3 to 2, a trend consistent with lower demand for car-related offences during the summer months. Violence and sexual offences in Borrowash remain 44% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, illustrating a persistent gap in crime profiles between the area and national statistics.

Borrowash’s crime rate in July 2025 remained stable at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term spikes or dips in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 7,207 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 267 residents, a ratio that contextualises the risk as relatively minimal compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the local population, this translates to a monthly exposure of 1-in-267, a figure that underscores the area’s comparatively safe environment. While the UK average sees 8.6 crimes per 1,000 residents, Borrowash’s rate is 55.8% below that benchmark, highlighting a stark contrast in crime profiles between the area and national trends. This disparity may be influenced by Borrowash’s built-up nature within Erewash, where community policing and lower population density could contribute to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime.
