Market Warsop Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Market Warsop's crime rate in January 2024 stood at 7.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 5.4% below the UK average of 7.4. While this overall figure suggests a relatively safe environment, the distribution of crime types reveals notable disparities. Violence and sexual offences dominated, accounting for 49.1% of all incidents, a sharp increase from December 2023. This category's rate of 3.4 per 1,000 exceeds the UK average by 31%, indicating a pressing concern for local safety. Anti-social behaviour (17.0%) and criminal damage and arson (13.2%) also feature prominently, with both categories significantly above UK averages. The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period marked by shorter days and reduced retail footfall—may contribute to the elevated rates of violent crime, as outdoor activities diminish and indoor spaces become more concentrated. However, this pattern contrasts with lower rates of property crimes such as shoplifting (30% below UK average) and burglary (72% below UK average), which could reflect seasonal trends in retail activity or policing efforts. The interplay between these factors suggests that while Market Warsop remains safer than the UK average overall, targeted awareness of rising violent crime is essential for residents and local authorities.

January 2024 saw a marked surge in violence and sexual offences, with a 73.3% increase compared to December 2023, bringing the total to 26 incidents. This category now exceeds the UK average by 31%, highlighting a significant localised concern. Concurrently, possession of weapons and bicycle theft both doubled from zero to one incident, reflecting new risks for residents. These increases contrast with declines in burglary (-50%) and vehicle crime (-40%), though the latter remain below UK averages by 72% and 20% respectively. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 21% above the UK average, underscoring a broader pattern of elevated disorder. Residents should be particularly alert to the sharp rise in violence, which now constitutes nearly half of all reported crimes. The absence of reported shoplifting and vehicle crime in the previous month suggests a potential seasonal fluctuation, though further analysis is required to confirm this trend.

Market Warsop's crime rate in January 2024 rose by 10.5% compared to December 2023, moving from 6.3 to 7.0 per 1,000 residents. While this places the area 5.4% below the UK average of 7.4, the shift in monthly crime patterns deserves closer attention. Over the course of January, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 143 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local population. This monthly exposure rate highlights the need for residents to remain vigilant, particularly as the area experiences a noticeable uptick in violent crimes. On a daily basis, Market Warsop recorded approximately two crimes per day in January, a figure that, while modest, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents during this period. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while the area remains relatively safe compared to the UK average, the increase in specific crime types may signal emerging trends requiring targeted awareness.
