North East Derbyshire Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North East Derbyshire's overall crime rate in October 2025 stood at 6.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 22.1% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure highlights the area's consistently lower-than-average crime profile, a pattern that has persisted despite a 5.1% month-on-month increase. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 43.6% of all crimes reported, with a rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents—2% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 15.5% of total crimes, while criminal damage and arson made up 7.8%. These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and property-related disputes, which may be influenced by the area's seasonal dynamics. October's shorter days and the approach of Halloween likely contributed to increased anti-social behaviour and violence, as darker evenings can amplify risk factors. Vehicle crime remained exceptionally low, with a rate of 0.2 per 1,000 residents—52% below the UK average—potentially reflecting effective local measures or a lower density of high-traffic areas. This data underscores a mix of local conditions and national trends shaping the area's crime picture, with some categories showing resilience against typical seasonal fluctuations.

October saw a 150% increase in burglary cases, rising from 12 to 30, marking a sharp upward trend in property-related crime. Bicycle theft also surged by 100%, with incidents doubling from 2 to 4, a figure that remains 100% below the UK average for this category. Conversely, crimes such as robbery and theft from the person fell by two-thirds, with just one incident reported each. The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark contrast: vehicle crime, at 0.2 per 1,000 residents, is 52% below the UK average, while drugs-related offences are 64% below the national rate. This mix of increases and decreases suggests a combination of local factors, such as seasonal changes and targeted policing efforts, that may be influencing the area's crime profile.

North East Derbyshire's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 5.1% from 5.7 to 6.0 per 1,000 residents compared to the previous month. This equates to approximately 21 crimes reported each day, a figure that remains lower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 167 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's relatively low crime profile. With a population of 106,646, the local context suggests that community-level factors—such as effective policing or social cohesion—may be contributing to the sustained below-average rates. While the increase from September is modest, this follows a broader trend of stability in the area's crime statistics, with several categories remaining significantly below national benchmarks.
