Mansfield Woodhouse Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Mansfield Woodhouse in July 2025 reveals a striking emphasis on violent crime and anti-social behaviour, with these two categories accounting for over 65% of all reported incidents. At 7.6 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area’s overall crime rate is 11.6% below the UK average, suggesting a relatively safer environment compared to national trends. However, the composition of crime types tells a different story. Violence and sexual offences (57 incidents, 40.7% of total) remain the most prevalent category, significantly outpacing the UK average for this type by 2%. Anti-social behaviour (34 incidents, 24.3%) also exceeds the UK rate by 16%, pointing to ongoing community tensions or environmental factors that may contribute to such incidents. This pattern contrasts with lower rates of property crime and theft from the person, which are 34% and 64% below UK averages respectively. Seasonal context plays a likely role in these figures: July, a peak summer month with schools closed and festivals in full swing, may amplify anti-social behaviour in public spaces while reducing opportunities for theft during the day. The area’s relatively low burglary and vehicle crime rates (both 0.4 per 1,000) align with its character as a built-up area with limited industrial zones, where retail and residential activity might drive other crime types. The dominance of violent crime over property crime suggests a combination of local factors, including the impact of alcohol-fuelled incidents during summer nights or the presence of transient populations in certain areas. These findings highlight the need to address the root causes of violence and anti-social behaviour, which appear to be more pronounced in Mansfield Woodhouse than in the UK as a whole.

July 2025 saw dramatic fluctuations in specific crime types, with shoplifting jumping 500% from 2 to 12 incidents—a stark anomaly that may reflect the impact of summer festivals or seasonal shopping patterns. Vehicle crime also rose sharply by 133.3%, potentially linked to increased traffic during events or the presence of unsecured vehicles in public areas. Theft from the person, which had been absent in June, surged by 100% to one incident, raising questions about the effectiveness of security measures during crowded events. Conversely, other theft (down 63.6%) and possession of weapons (down 40%) both decreased, due to heightened police presence or community initiatives during the summer. The area’s violent crime rate (3.1 per 1,000) remains 2% above the UK average, despite the overall rate being 11.6% below, illustrating how violent crime influences the local profile. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.8 per 1,000, is 16% above the UK average, a figure that may be exacerbated by the summer months when public spaces are more congested. Criminal damage and arson are 34% below the UK average, suggesting either effective prevention strategies or a lower incidence of such crimes in this area. Residents may find the 500% increase in shoplifting particularly concerning, as it indicates a sudden shift in criminal activity that could require targeted interventions such as improved retail security or community engagement.

The crime rate in Mansfield Woodhouse for July 2025 (7.6 per 1,000) marks a 10.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 6.9, reflecting a noticeable uptick in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 5 crimes per day during July, a figure that translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 132 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate, while lower than the UK average, highlights the concentrated nature of crime in Mansfield Woodhouse compared to other areas. The population context further underscores this: with 18,543 residents, the area’s crime statistics are scaled to a relatively small community, where even a modest number of incidents can have a discernible impact. The increase in the overall crime rate contrasts with the UK average, which remained stable at 8.6 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors are driving the rise. While property crimes and theft from the person are significantly below UK rates, the surge in violent and anti-social behaviour indicates a divergence in local challenges. This comparison reveals that Mansfield Woodhouse’s crime profile is shaped more by interpersonal conflicts and public disorder than by the broader trends observed nationally. The 10.2% month-on-month increase may be influenced by the seasonal context, as July’s festivals and extended evenings likely contribute to higher levels of alcohol-related incidents and public disturbances. Residents may perceive this as a temporary spike, but the underlying patterns—such as the persistent above-average rates for violence and anti-social behaviour—suggest a need for sustained efforts to address these issues.
