Market Warsop Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Market Warsop's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 9.7 per 1,000 residents, 19.8% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the area's unique position compared to the national picture, where local factors appear to amplify crime trends. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.2% of all incidents—33% above the UK average. This category's dominance may be influenced by the area's character as a built-up market town, where social interactions and community events could contribute to higher rates of such offences during the summer months. Shoplifting followed closely, with 11 incidents reported (14.9% of total crimes), 138% above the UK average. This spike aligns with the start of the summer season, when local markets and retail areas may attract more visitors, increasing opportunities for theft. Anti-social behaviour, while lower than the UK average (12.2% vs 14.9%), still represented a significant portion of incidents, suggesting ongoing challenges in managing public spaces. The seasonal context of June—as the start of the summer, with longer days and potential increases in tourism or leisure activity—likely plays a role in shaping these patterns. However, direct causal links, and other factors such as local demographics or policing strategies may also contribute. The overall crime rate, while elevated compared to the UK, remains within the bounds of a built-up area's typical profile, where higher population density and commercial activity can naturally lead to more reported incidents.

June 2025 saw a 100% surge in shoplifting, with 11 incidents reported—138% above the UK average. This spike aligns with the start of the summer season, when foot traffic in local markets and shops likely increases. Vehicle crime also rose sharply, jumping 133.3% from 3 to 7 incidents, possibly linked to warmer weather and more outdoor activity. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained below the UK average, with 9 incidents (1.2 per 1,000) compared to the national rate of 1.4 per 1,000. This suggests local community engagement or policing efforts may be mitigating such behaviour. A notable decrease in possession of weapons (50% drop) and other theft (33.3% drop) indicates potential success in targeted interventions. The balance of crime types shifted towards violent offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 39.2% of all crimes—33% above the UK average. This mix may reflect seasonal changes in social activity or local events drawing attention to the area.

Market Warsop's crime rate in June 2025 rose to 9.7 per 1,000 residents, a 27.5% increase from 7.6 per 1,000 in the previous month. This places the area 19.8% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, highlighting a stark contrast to the national trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that may feel more tangible for residents. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for roughly every 103 residents, a ratio that underscores the frequency of incidents in a community of 7,605 people. This rate, while not extreme, suggests that local factors—such as seasonal activity or local demographics—may be amplifying crime trends compared to the UK as a whole. The population context reveals that each resident is statistically more likely to encounter crime than the average UK resident, though the absolute numbers remain relatively low in a built-up area with a mix of retail and residential zones.
