Market Warsop Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

December 2025 saw Market Warsop maintain a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000, placing it 30% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This performance highlights a consistent pattern of lower-than-average crime levels, particularly in violent and property-related categories. Violence and sexual offences accounted for the largest share of reported crimes (35.1%), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.6%) and shoplifting (10.8%). The area’s relatively low crime rate aligns with its character as a small, built-up area within Mansfield, where community cohesion and limited urban density may contribute to reduced opportunities for certain crimes. Seasonal factors in December, such as the Christmas shopping period and darker evenings, typically influence crime patterns, yet the area’s performance suggests that local initiatives or natural deterrents may have mitigated risks. For instance, the 34% below-average rate for violence and sexual offences could be linked to community policing efforts or the absence of high-density nightlife areas. However, the seasonal context also raises questions about the impact of holiday-related activities on anti-social behaviour, which remained 18% above the UK average. These findings underscore the importance of balancing seasonal awareness with ongoing strategies to address persistent challenges, such as the overrepresentation of ‘other crime’ at 150% above the UK average. The data also reveals that shoplifting, while lower than the previous month, still occurs at a rate 12% below the UK average, reflecting the area’s smaller retail footprint compared to larger urban centres. Overall, Market Warsop’s December figures illustrate a mix of positive trends and localized challenges that require tailored approaches to ensure sustained improvements.

December 2025 marked a 33.3% decrease in shoplifting, bringing the count from six to four incidents. This decline, alongside a 66.7% drop in ‘other crime’ (from nine to three), reflects a broader trend of reduced non-violent offences. However, burglary saw a sharp 100% increase, rising from zero to one incident—a spike that contrasts with the overall downward trend. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 35.1% of all crimes, but their rate of 1.7 per 1,000 was 34% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the previous month, still exceeded the UK average by 18%, highlighting a persistent local challenge. These shifts suggest a combination of seasonal factors, such as the Christmas shopping period, and localized efforts to address specific crime types. For residents, the reduction in shoplifting may indicate successful policing around retail areas, though the burglary increase underscores the need for continued vigilance in vulnerable properties.

Market Warsop’s December 2025 crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 represents a significant drop of 31.4% from the previous month’s rate of 7.1 per 1,000. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, a gap that has widened over recent months. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day in December, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 206 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime compared to larger urban areas. While the overall trend is encouraging, the sharp 100% increase in burglary from zero to one incident highlights a specific vulnerability that warrants attention. This spike contrasts with broader reductions in other categories, suggesting that targeted local factors may have influenced this particular crime type. The population context further illustrates that, despite the low crime rate, the area’s small size means each incident has a proportionally higher impact on residents.
