Hadfield Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Hadfield’s crime rate in September 2025 stands at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 58.1% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures reflects the area’s relatively low exposure to crime, a trend consistent with its character as a smaller, built-up area within High Peak. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 51% of all reported incidents—38% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed at 18.4%, with a 49% gap compared to the national rate. These figures suggest a community where public safety measures and local policing may contribute to sustained low levels of serious crime. Seasonal factors in September, such as the return to school and university freshers’ week, could influence patterns, though the data shows no sharp spikes in property crime or theft. The lower incidence of violent crime compared to the UK average may be partly explained by Hadfield’s compact geography, which likely facilitates quicker police response times and community engagement. While the area remains vigilant, its performance highlights the effectiveness of targeted crime prevention strategies in maintaining a safer environment for residents.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in crime trends within Hadfield. Other crime, possession of weapons, and shoplifting each rose by 100% from zero in the previous month, marking new categories of concern. This increase in lesser-reported offences may reflect heightened awareness or changes in reporting behaviour during the back-to-school period. Conversely, other theft and burglary both fell sharply—by 75% and 50% respectively—suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes linked to seasonal transitions. The violent crime rate of 1.6 per 1,000 remains 38% below the UK average, a consistent trend that could be attributed to the area’s lower population density and stronger community ties. Public order offences also dropped by 33.3%, though they still remain 81% below the national rate. For residents, the 58.1% gap between Hadfield’s overall crime rate and the UK average offers reassurance that the area continues to outperform national benchmarks in maintaining public safety, even as new crime types emerge.

Hadfield’s crime rate in September 2025 was 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a 3.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.2. This slight decline aligns with the area’s historically low crime profile, which is further underscored by its daily crime context: an average of two crimes reported per day over the month. When scaled to the local population, this equates to one reported crime for every 323 residents over the course of September—a figure that illustrates the relatively low exposure to crime experienced by Hadfield’s population compared to larger urban centres. The area’s performance is particularly striking when considering the UK average, where residents face a crime rate nearly double that of Hadfield. With a population of 15,826, the local impact of crime remains minimal, though the small absolute numbers also mean that individual incidents can have a more pronounced effect on community perceptions. This contrast with national trends reinforces Hadfield’s status as a low-crime area, where the combination of geographic compactness and community-focused policing likely plays a role in sustaining these outcomes.
