Rainworth Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Rainworth’s crime profile in September 2025 revealed a striking contrast between its overall rate and specific category trends. The area’s total crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 residents placed it 9.5% below the UK average, a figure that suggests effective local crime prevention measures or demographic characteristics that reduce general criminality. However, the breakdown of incidents revealed a significant outlier: violent crimes accounted for 53.6% of all reported offences, with a rate of 3.6 per 1,000—40% higher than the UK average for this category. This anomaly may be linked to the area’s role as a commuter hub, where transient populations and late-night retail activity could contribute to a higher incidence of personal violence. Anti-social behaviour also remained elevated, with a rate of 1.2 per 1,000—3% above the UK average—tied to the seasonal influx of students returning to university campuses in nearby towns. Public order offences, though not typically a major concern in built-up areas, surged by 500% compared to August, reflecting the impact of September’s transition from summer to autumn, when social gatherings and nightlife activity often intensify. Despite these spikes, the overall stability in the area’s crime rate indicates that localized factors, rather than systemic issues, are shaping Rainworth’s monthly picture.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 500% increase in public order offences, rising from 1 to 6 cases. This jump, coupled with a 42.9% rise in anti-social behaviour, highlights a shift in the crime mix toward incidents involving public spaces. Violent crimes—accounting for 53.6% of all reported incidents—remained the dominant category, though their rate (3.6 per 1,000) was 40% higher than the UK average for this type. Conversely, drug-related offences fell by 62% compared to the UK average, with only one incident reported. The 33.3% increase in other thefts, though modest, underscores a growing concern for personal property in local retail areas. These fluctuations contrast with the overall stability in the area’s crime rate, suggesting localized pressures rather than broad systemic changes.

Rainworth's crime rate in September 2025 remained stable compared to August, dropping slightly from 6.8 to 6.7 per 1,000 residents. This small decline suggests consistency in local policing efforts or seasonal factors balancing out fluctuations. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately two crimes reported each day, a figure that aligns with the area’s built-up nature and population density. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 150 residents, a ratio that places Rainworth among the safer built-up areas in the UK. This monthly exposure figure is particularly meaningful for residents, offering a tangible sense of risk in local terms. When scaled to the area’s population of 8,417, the low rate of violent crimes—despite being 40% above the UK average for this category—suggests that most incidents are concentrated in specific pockets rather than widespread across the community.
