Mansfield Woodhouse Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile in Mansfield Woodhouse for September 2025, accounting for 38.2% of all reported crimes. This category, which includes assaults, domestic violence, and sexual harassment, remains the most significant contributor to the area’s overall crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 20.3% below the UK average of 7.4, a disparity that may be attributed to the town’s relatively stable community structures and targeted policing efforts in high-risk areas. Anti-social behaviour follows as the second most common category, contributing 20.0% of all incidents.2 per 1,000 is only 3% above the UK average. The seasonal context of September—marking the return of students to local schools and universities—likely influences the crime mix, with increased foot traffic in public spaces potentially reducing opportunities for property crime while amplifying interpersonal conflicts. Shoplifting, at 0.5 per 1,000, is 18% below the UK average, a trend that may be linked to the town’s retail environment and local initiatives to deter theft. The overall crime rate, while lower than the national average, reflects a combination of demographic factors, including the area’s mix of residential and commercial zones, which may contribute to both higher rates of violence and lower rates of property crime compared to more densely populated urban centres.

September 2025 saw a sharp 200% increase in robbery incidents, rising from one to three cases. This surge contrasts with a 75% decline in burglary, which dropped from four to one incident. Anti-social behaviour also fell by half, from 44 to 22 cases, a shift that may reflect the return of students and the start of the academic year. The area’s violent crime rate of 2.3 per 1,000 residents is 11% below the UK average, a gap that underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies in managing interpersonal conflicts. Meanwhile, shoplifting remains 18% below the UK average, suggesting that retail-focused interventions in the town centre have had a measurable impact. Residents may find the 75% drop in burglary particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a potential reduction in targeted property crime during the month.

Mansfield Woodhouse's crime rate in September 2025 fell to 5.9 per 1,000 residents, a 33.4% drop from the previous month’s rate of 8.9. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as September marks the start of the academic year and reduced summer activity. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately four reported crimes each day, a figure that reflects the local rhythm of a mixed-use urban environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 169 residents, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure for individuals living here. This rate is lower than the UK average, but the local population density and community-focused policing initiatives likely contribute to this trend. The reduction in burglary and other crime categories suggests a possible correlation with increased foot traffic in public spaces during the month. The comparison to the UK average highlights the area’s relative safety, particularly in property crime categories where rates are significantly below national figures.
