Mansfield Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Mansfield's crime profile in April 2025 was marked by a significant outlier: violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.1% of all crimes and occurred at a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents—38% above the UK average. This stark deviation from national trends highlights a pressing issue in the area. The overall crime rate of 10.0 per 1,000 residents, 29.9% higher than the UK's 7.7 per 1,000, reflects a broader pattern of elevated crime that demands attention. The breakdown shows that property crimes, particularly shoplifting (10.1 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour (19.0 per 1,000), also far exceed UK averages, with anti-social behaviour being 43% higher nationally. These figures may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity. Violent crime's disproportionate presence could be linked to local demographics or social dynamics. The contrast with categories like other theft (20% below UK average) and vehicle crime (21% below) suggests a mixed crime picture, where some areas of concern are amplified while others show relative improvement. This month's data underscores the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas while maintaining vigilance across all crime categories.

April 2025 saw a sharp 80% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 5 to 9 incidents. This surge aligns with the spring season and increased outdoor activity, though no specific factors are identified in the data. Possession of weapons also rose by 64.3%, from 14 to 23 cases, a category that is 186% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour increased by 23%, contributing to a 43% gap above the UK rate for this category. Conversely, other theft fell by 36.1% to 46 cases, a decline that brought it 20% below the UK average. These shifts illustrate a complex mix of local dynamics, with property crimes like shoplifting decreasing by 26% while violent crime rates remain high. Residents may find the 38 daily reported crimes a useful benchmark for understanding local safety trends.

Mansfield's crime rate in April 2025 remained stable compared to March, with a 0.9% increase from 9.9 to 10.0 per 1,000 residents. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall crime trends during the month. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 38 crimes reported each day, a figure that reflects the local context but lacks direct UK comparison data. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 100 residents, a monthly aggregate that underscores the frequency of incidents in a population of 113,138. When scaled to the area's demographics, this rate highlights the need for ongoing community engagement and policing efforts, particularly in areas where crime types like anti-social behaviour and violence remain elevated. The population size further contextualises these figures, showing that while the rate is higher than the UK average, the absolute number of incidents is influenced by Mansfield's specific characteristics.
