Edwinstowe Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Edwinstowe in June 2025 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes that diverges from national trends. With a total crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents—46.9% below the UK average of 8.1—this built-up area within Newark and Sherwood demonstrates a markedly lower incidence of crime than the national average. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 52.2% of all reported incidents (12 cases), a figure 23% below the UK average for this category. This suggests a localised focus on interpersonal crime, possibly influenced by the area's relatively small population and community dynamics. In contrast, vehicle crime stood out as an outlier, with 6 incidents recorded (2.2 per 1,000 residents), 197% above the UK average for this category. This stark deviation raises questions about local factors such as parking patterns or vehicle storage practices. The seasonal context of June—a time of longer days and the start of summer—may have influenced activity patterns, though the absence of major tourist infrastructure in Edwinstowe means these effects are likely more subtle than in coastal or urban areas. The low overall crime rate, combined with the disproportionate prevalence of certain crime types, illustrates an area where community cohesion appears to mitigate broader crime trends, but specific vulnerabilities in vehicle-related crime remain notable.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in vehicle crime compared to May, jumping from 1 to 6 incidents. This surge, while still below the UK average for this category, highlights a specific vulnerability in local crime patterns. Burglary also doubled from 0 to 2 cases, suggesting potential shifts in criminal activity that may be linked to seasonal factors such as increased home occupancy during summer. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 85.7% (from 7 to 1) and criminal damage and arson dropped by 75% (from 4 to 1), indicating a possible reduction in opportunistic or alcohol-fuelled incidents during the month. Violent crime, though comprising the largest share of total crimes, remained 23% below the UK average for this category (2.2 vs 2.9 per 1,000 residents). This contrast with the UK-wide trend suggests that Edwinstowe's community may have effective local mechanisms for managing interpersonal conflict. For residents, the most immediate takeaway is the sharp rise in vehicle crime: 6 incidents in June represent a 500% increase from May, a figure that could prompt reconsideration of vehicle security measures in the area.

June 2025 marked a 39.5% decrease in Edwinstowe's crime rate compared to the previous month, falling from 7.1 to 4.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline places the area's current rate firmly below the UK average, with a 46.9% gap between local and national figures. On a daily basis, Edwinstowe recorded approximately 1 crime per day in June—a rate that, while low, could be perceived as concerning in a small community of 5,377 residents. Over the course of the month, this translated to 1 reported crime for every 234 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. When contextualised within the area's population size, this suggests that residents face a markedly lower risk of encountering crime than the national average. However, the disparity in specific crime categories—particularly the 197% above UK average for vehicle crime—reveals that while overall safety is strong, certain vulnerabilities persist. This contrast between overall safety and specific category risks underscores the importance of targeted local initiatives, such as improved vehicle security measures or enhanced street lighting in areas with higher vehicle crime rates. For residents, the low monthly exposure rate may offer reassurance, but the specific spikes in certain crime types indicate that vigilance in particular areas remains necessary.
