Mansfield Woodhouse Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Mansfield Woodhouse's crime rate in June 2024 stood at 6.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 22% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This position relative to the national picture highlights the area's generally safer profile, though specific crime trends reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.4% of all crimes, with 37 incidents reported, while anti-social behaviour followed closely at 28.8%, involving 34 cases. These two categories together dominated the crime profile, reflecting the area's focus on addressing public order and interpersonal conflicts. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced these trends, as increased outdoor activity and social interaction could contribute to higher reports of violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the area's overall rate remains lower than the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or demographic factors that mitigate crime risks. For instance, the relatively low burglary rate (1.7% of total crimes) and vehicle crime (4.2%) indicate that property-related offences are not a major concern here, due to the built-up nature of the area and its associated security measures. The breakdown also shows that public order offences were 34% below the UK average, a figure that may be attributed to local initiatives or the absence of high-risk areas such as nightlife hubs. While causal links, the combination of these factors illustrates a community that, despite its challenges, maintains a lower crime profile compared to the national average. This comparison underscores the importance of contextualising local statistics within broader geographical and demographic frameworks, ensuring that policies and public perceptions align with the realities on the ground.

June 2024 saw sharp fluctuations in specific crime categories, with drug-related offences surging by 200% compared to May, rising from 1 to 3 incidents. This increase, while notable, remains below the UK average for drugs (0.2 per 1,000). Conversely, shoplifting fell by 54.5%, declining from 11 to 5 cases—a significant drop that may reflect heightened police presence or seasonal changes in retail activity. Possession of weapons also rose by 100%, with 4 incidents reported, compared to 2 in May. This category is 186% above the UK average, highlighting a localised concern. Meanwhile, vehicle crime decreased by 16.7%, from 6 to 5 cases, and other theft fell by 50%, from 10 to 5. These shifts indicate a combination of targeted enforcement and seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic in public spaces during summer. Residents may find the drop in shoplifting particularly relevant, as it suggests potential success in local retail security measures.

Mansfield Woodhouse's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 6.4 per 1,000 residents, a 4.9% decrease from the previous month's 6.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as the transition into summer often sees shifts in crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day in June, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate compared to the UK average. When considering the monthly exposure, 1 in every 157 residents in Mansfield Woodhouse reported a crime during the month, underscoring the area's consistently lower crime profile. This ratio, while contextually useful, should be interpreted alongside local factors such as community initiatives and demographic characteristics, which may contribute to sustained safety outcomes. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area's crime rate remains well below the UK average, with no single category driving the disparity—instead, a combination of lower rates across multiple crime types, particularly violent and property offences, reinforces the area's comparative safety.
