Erewash Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Erewash’s crime profile in June 2025 was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for nearly 40% of all reported crimes. This category, with a rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, was 5% above the UK average, underscoring a localised challenge in addressing violent crime despite the area’s overall lower crime rate. The second most common category was anti-social behaviour, contributing 17.7% of all incidents, while shoplifting followed at 11%. These figures reflect the interplay between Erewash’s urban and rural characteristics, where densely populated areas may foster anti-social behaviour, while retail hubs could explain the higher shoplifting rates. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—likely contributed to the increase in shoplifting, as longer days and tourist activity may have influenced retail crime dynamics. Violence and sexual offences, however, remain a persistent concern, with their elevated rate compared to the UK average suggesting that local factors, such as community tensions or policing strategies, may play a role. The overall crime rate of 7.6 per 1,000 residents, 6.2% below the UK average, indicates a relatively safer environment, but the dominance of violent crime highlights the need for targeted measures. The balance between property and violent crimes also shifted slightly, with violent crimes making up a larger share of the total than in previous months. This could be attributed to seasonal factors, such as increased social gatherings or changes in police resource allocation during summer. direct causation, but it is consistent with patterns observed in similar mixed-urban-rural areas, where community engagement and public safety initiatives may require tailored approaches.

June 2025 saw significant changes in specific crime categories, with vehicle crime surging by 100% compared to the previous month, rising from 14 to 28 incidents. This sharp increase may be linked to summer travel patterns or increased vehicle movement during the longer daylight hours. Shoplifting also rose by 18.5%, from 81 to 96 cases, a trend consistent with the start of the summer season, when retail activity typically increases. Conversely, theft from the person dropped by 50%, from four to two incidents, possibly reflecting reduced foot traffic in certain areas during June. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant crime category, with a rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents—5% above the UK average. This highlights a localised challenge in addressing violent crime, despite Erewash’s overall lower crime rate compared to the national average. The decrease in other crime by 25% from 20 to 15 incidents suggests a temporary reduction in non-specific offences. These shifts illustrate the dynamic nature of crime patterns and the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas.

Erewash’s crime rate in June 2025 remained stable, declining slightly by 0.5% from the previous month’s 7.7 to 7.6 per 1,000 residents.

On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 29 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the monthly total of 870 crimes spread across 30 days.
