Erewash Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Erewash's overall crime rate for September 2025 was 7.0 per 1,000, placing it 5.4% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This performance reflects a combination of effective local policing strategies and the area's demographic profile as a mixed-use district with a strong community presence. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 36.4% of total incidents, a rate (2.6 per 1,000) that matched the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed at 15.3%, with a rate 6% below the UK average, likely influenced by the area's suburban character and community-focused initiatives. Shoplifting, at 13.0% of total crimes, emerged as a notable concern, with a rate of 0.9 per 1,000 — 48% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This spike may be attributed to the September season, when university freshers and back-to-school shopping could drive retail crime. The seasonal context also influenced other trends, with public order offences (0.7 per 1,000) rising 30% above the UK average, linked to increased social activity during the month. These patterns illustrate the interplay between local factors and broader national trends, with Erewash maintaining a generally safer profile than the UK average while managing specific challenges tied to its demographic and seasonal rhythms.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with shoplifting rising 26.8% to 104 incidents, the highest rate in the area at 0.9 per 1,000 — 48% above the UK average. This increase may partly explain the 36.4% share of total crimes attributed to violence and sexual offences, which remained at the UK average for their category. Conversely, theft from the person plummeted by 66.7%, dropping from six to two incidents, a decline that could reflect heightened awareness during the back-to-school period. Vehicle crime also rose 40.9%, linked to increased traffic during university freshers' week. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, fell 6% below the UK average, suggesting localized efforts may be effective in managing this category. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Erewash, where seasonal transitions and community-specific factors play a clear role.

Erewash's crime rate in September 2025 dropped 2.6% from the previous month's 7.2 per 1,000 to 7.0 per 1,000, marking a continued decline in overall crime. This reduction aligns with the local authority's broader trend of maintaining rates below the UK average, which stood at 7.4 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show 27 reported incidents per day, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low crime profile compared to national benchmarks. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 142 residents, a ratio that underscores the manageable scale of incidents for the population of 114,253. This monthly exposure rate is consistent with Erewash's character as a mixed-use area with a balance of urban and suburban features, where community-focused policing and local initiatives may contribute to sustained low-level crime management.
