Market Warsop Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In October 2025, Market Warsop's crime profile reveals a striking imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former accounting for 45.8% of total incidents compared to just 12.5% for property offences. The area's overall crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents places it 18.2% below the UK average of 7.7, a disparity that may reflect both local policing strategies and the area's character as a built-up market town within Mansfield. Violence and sexual offences dominate, with 22 incidents — 9% above the UK average for this category — suggesting a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas. Anti-social behaviour (10 incidents) and public order offences (6 incidents) also contribute significantly, with the latter category 51% above the UK average. This pattern is consistent with seasonal factors in October, when darker evenings and Halloween events may increase opportunities for alcohol-fuelled disputes or public disturbances. The low property crime rate, particularly for vehicle theft (0.1 per 1,000) and other theft (0.1 per 1,000), which are 76% and 81% below the UK average respectively, could indicate effective community surveillance or a lack of high-value assets in residential areas. However, the sharp rise in public order offences (+100%) and anti-social behaviour (+100%) highlights a potential link to seasonal transitions, such as the end of the university term or increased foot traffic during local festivals. These trends may also reflect broader social dynamics in a market town, where commercial activity and community events intersect with policing priorities.

October 2025 saw sharp increases in public order offences (+100%), anti-social behaviour (+100%), and robbery (+100%), with public order incidents tripling from 3 to 6. This surge in public order offences, which are 51% above the UK average, suggests heightened tensions or disruptions in community spaces. The violent crime category remains the most significant contributor, with 22 incidents (45.8% of total) — 9% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Property crimes, though low (6 incidents), were 76% below the UK average for vehicle crime and 81% below for other theft. This stark contrast between violent and property crime rates may indicate localised factors such as increased social interactions in public areas or targeted enforcement efforts. For residents, the doubling of anti-social behaviour incidents from 5 to 10 offers a concrete example of how month-on-month shifts can directly impact daily life.

Market Warsop's crime rate in October 2025 rose 23.0% from the previous month, moving from 5.1 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents. While this increase places the area slightly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, the shift reflects a localised uptick in specific categories. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the low overall rate but highlights the concentrated nature of incidents. Over the course of October, one crime occurred for roughly every 158 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. This figure, though modest, suggests that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a daily basis, though the rise from September indicates a need for continued monitoring. The population context further frames these numbers: with 7,605 residents, the 48 reported crimes represent a manageable proportion of the community, though the month-on-month increase in violent offences may signal emerging patterns requiring local attention.
