Mansfield Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Mansfield, the crime rate of 9.8 per 1,000 in July 2025 means that, on average, one in every 103 people could experience a reported crime over the course of the month. This figure, while not exceptionally high, places the area 14% above the UK average, highlighting the need for continued vigilance. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (40.3% of total incidents) and anti-social behaviour (22.1%), both of which are significantly higher than the UK average. This pattern aligns with the seasonal context of July—a time of year when Mansfield's vibrant community life, combined with tourism and festivals, may contribute to increased interpersonal conflict and disorder. The 3.9 incidents of violence per 1,000 residents, 28% above the UK average, suggest that the area's mix of urban and suburban environments could play a role in sustaining higher levels of violent crime. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour's 42% above the UK average may be linked to the social dynamics of a town with a strong sense of community, where disputes in public spaces can escalate quickly. The drop in shoplifting and vehicle crime, though notable, may be temporary, as these categories are often influenced by seasonal fluctuations. For example, the 40% decline in shoplifting could be attributed to fewer shoppers during the summer holidays, while the 37% reduction in vehicle crime might reflect reduced traffic congestion. However, these decreases should not overshadow the persistent challenges in addressing violent crime and anti-social behaviour, which remain central to the area's crime profile.

July 2025 saw a 21.4% increase in anti-social behaviour, with incidents rising from 201 to 244. This surge, while concerning, may be partially explained by the summer season's impact on public spaces, where festivals and outdoor events often draw larger crowds. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 40%, dropping from 140 to 84. This decline could indicate improved retail security measures or a shift in consumer behaviour during the holiday period. Vehicle crime also fell by 37.2%, from 43 to 27, a trend that may reflect reduced traffic congestion or heightened awareness among drivers. Violent crimes in Mansfield remain 28% above the UK average, with 3.9 incidents per 1,000 residents. This discrepancy suggests that local factors—such as the town's mix of urban and suburban areas—may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime compared to the national average. For residents, the 40% drop in shoplifting offers a concrete example of how targeted interventions or seasonal dynamics can significantly influence crime patterns.

Mansfield's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 9.8 per 1,000 residents, a 10.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 10.9. This decline suggests a temporary easing in criminal activity, though the rate remains 14% above the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 36 crimes per day, translating to a monthly exposure of one reported crime for every 103 residents. This figure, while seemingly low, underscores the persistent presence of crime in everyday life. The reduction in vehicle crime (-37.2%) and burglary (-34.4%) may reflect seasonal shifts, such as reduced foot traffic during summer holidays or increased security measures in residential areas. However, the 21.4% rise in anti-social behaviour highlights ongoing challenges in public spaces, which may be exacerbated by the influx of tourists and the vibrancy of local festivals. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the 9.8 rate means that, on average, a resident faces a 1-in-103 chance of being directly affected by a crime over the course of the month. This statistic, while not immediately alarming, serves as a reminder that crime remains a tangible, albeit manageable, risk for the community.
