Mansfield Woodhouse Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Mansfield Woodhouse recorded 125 crimes in March 2023, equating to a rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents. For a population of 18,543, this represents approximately 0.67% of the area’s population being directly affected by crime in a single month. The overall rate is 11.8% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, indicating a relatively safer environment compared to the national context. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 42.4% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (13.6%) and other theft (9.6%). This dominance of violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where such offences make up a smaller share. Seasonal factors in March, including the transition to spring and the extension of daylight hours, may contribute to shifts in crime patterns. Longer evenings could increase opportunities for public order incidents or violent crimes in communal spaces. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour and public order offences suggest potential local initiatives or community dynamics that may mitigate such incidents. Meanwhile, higher-than-average figures for shoplifting and other theft may reflect the presence of retail hubs or high-traffic areas that attract such crimes. These findings underscore how local characteristics, such as urban density and economic activity, interact with broader seasonal trends to shape the crime profile.

March 2023 saw a notable shift in crime mix, with violent crimes making up 42.4% of total incidents, compared to property crimes at 31.2%.

Among specific categories, violence and sexual offences in Mansfield Woodhouse were 6% above the UK average (2.9 per 1,000 vs. 2.7 per 1,000), suggesting a higher concentration of such incidents in this area.

These variations highlight how specific local factors, such as the presence of businesses or public spaces, can influence crime patterns.

While this does not account for localised variations in reporting or policing, it provides a baseline for understanding crime’s footprint on daily life.
