Rainworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rainworth’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 7.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 12.3% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This marks a continuation of the area’s relatively low crime profile, though the mix of offences reveals distinct patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.7% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (15%) and criminal damage and arson (13.3%). The seasonal context of June—the start of summer—may influence these trends, as longer daylight hours and increased community activity can alter crime dynamics. While violence rates remain slightly above the UK average (2.9 per 1,000 vs. 3.0 per 1,000), anti-social behaviour and public order offences are significantly below national levels, suggesting a strong local focus on community cohesion. The area’s character as a built-up rural district within Newark and Sherwood likely contributes to these patterns, with fewer high-density urban spaces driving property crime but more localized incidents of anti-social behaviour. The absence of major retail or nightlife hubs may also explain lower rates of theft from the person and shoplifting compared to UK averages. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson in June raises questions about potential seasonal triggers, such as increased outdoor events or unseasonal weather conditions, though these require further analysis to confirm.

June 2025 saw one of the most dramatic month-on-month shifts in Rainworth’s crime history, with criminal damage and arson cases surging by 300% (from 2 to 8). This jump, though unexplained by the data, contrasts sharply with the 66.7% decline in public order offences (from 3 to 1), which may reflect seasonal changes in community activity. Violent crime also fell by 35.9% (from 39 to 25), though this appears inconsistent with the overall rate of violence and sexual offences remaining 5% above the UK average. The increase in burglary and theft from the person—both doubling from zero to 4 and 2 respectively—suggests a shift in criminal focus, possibly linked to summer-related vulnerabilities such as increased home occupancy or outdoor events. Anti-social behaviour rates were 23% below the UK average, a trend that may align with Rainworth’s relatively quiet built-up character compared to more densely populated areas. While the UK average for vehicle crime is 0.4 per 1,000, Rainworth reported only 0.1 per 1,000—a 73% deficit—indicating a possible lack of high-traffic zones or car-centric infrastructure that might drive such offences. These fluctuations highlight the need for ongoing local analysis to understand the interplay between seasonal factors and crime patterns.

Rainworth’s crime rate in June 2025 (7.1 per 1,000) marked a 9.1% decrease from May’s 7.8 per 1,000, reflecting a downward trend over the past two months. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that, while low, remains relevant for residents assessing local safety. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 140 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average when scaled to population size. With a population of 8,417, this suggests a relatively safe environment compared to larger urban centres, though it is important to contextualize these figures against the area’s specific characteristics. The previous month’s rate (7.8) was only marginally higher, indicating that the decline in June is part of a broader pattern rather than an isolated fluctuation. The absence of a UK daily crime comparison means local figures must be interpreted independently, but the 1-in-140 monthly exposure rate underscores Rainworth’s position as a lower-risk area. This contrast becomes even more pronounced when considering the 79% and 85% surges in burglary and drugs offences above the UK average, suggesting that while overall rates are low, certain categories remain affected compared to national trends.
