Market Warsop Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 saw an unexpected spike in burglary rates in Market Warsop, rising from zero to three incidents—a 100% increase—despite an overall crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000, 23.4% below the UK average of 7.7. This contrast with the 40.6% drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 32 to 19, highlights a shifting crime profile. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 42.2% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (24.4%) and other theft (8.9%). The seasonal context of Easter and spring weather may have influenced patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to anti-social behaviour while reduced public events could explain the decline in violent crime. However, the burglary surge defies expectations, suggesting localized factors such as targeted property vulnerabilities or changes in offender behavior. Market Warsop's position as a built-up area within Mansfield—a historically industrial town—may explain some trends, though the absence of major retail or nightlife hubs typically associated with shoplifting or violence makes the burglary rise particularly noteworthy. The area's relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average underscores its effectiveness in crime prevention, though the April data reveals vulnerabilities requiring further attention.

Burglary rates in April 2025 doubled from zero to three incidents, marking the most significant month-on-month increase. This rise contrasts with a 40.6% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 32 to 19—likely reflecting reduced public events during Easter. Anti-social behaviour increased by 10%, reaching 11 incidents, 13% above the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. Meanwhile, shoplifting dropped by 55% compared to the UK average, suggesting effective local measures or seasonal factors. The property crime share fell to 31% (14 of 45 crimes), while violent crime rose to 42.2% (19 of 45), indicating a shift toward more personal crimes. Burglary in Market Warsop was 48% above the UK average (0.4 vs 0.3 per 1,000), a stark anomaly that may signal targeted vulnerabilities in residential areas. Residents might find the 100% increase in burglary particularly concerning, as it represents a sharp departure from the area's otherwise stable crime trends.

April 2025's crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 marked a 21.1% decrease from the previous month's 7.5 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. On a daily basis, Market Warsop recorded roughly two crimes per day, a figure that, while low, highlights the need for vigilance in specific areas. Over the course of April, one crime occurred for every 169 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, when compared to the UK average, underscores the area's relative safety. However, the 48% above-average burglary rate raises questions about localized risk factors. With a population of 7,605, the 45 total crimes reported represent a manageable volume, but the 100% increase in burglary suggests concentrated risks. The area's built-up character within Mansfield—a town with historical industrial roots—may influence crime patterns, though the absence of major commercial hubs typically linked to property crime complicates explanations. The comparison to the UK average also reveals strengths, such as the 55% below-average shoplifting rate, which may reflect effective local policing or community engagement initiatives. These figures provide residents with a clear picture of both progress and areas requiring focused attention.
