Mansfield’s June 2025 crime rate of 10.9 per 1,000 residents represents a stark deviation from the UK average of 8.1, with the area recording a 34.6% deficit in safety metrics. This figure, the highest since at least 2023, reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.5% of all incidents and 43% above the UK average. This category’s prevalence is consistent with Mansfield’s status as a mixed urban-suburban district, where public spaces and community hubs may inadvertently foster environments conducive to such crimes. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 16.3% of total crimes and 27% above the national average—likely exacerbated by the start of summer, when increased social activity in parks and public areas may amplify disruptions. Shoplifting, at 11.3% of total crimes, was 90% above the UK average, a figure that may be linked to the town’s retail presence and the seasonal influx of visitors. These patterns suggest that the area’s crime profile is shaped by both its demographic makeup and the rhythms of the year, with June’s longer days and tourism beginning to influence crime dynamics.
