North Wingfield and Holmewood Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

North Wingfield and Holmewood’s September 2023 crime rate of 8.8 per 1,000 residents places it 10% above the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000, a figure that highlights the area’s distinct position within national trends. The breakdown of crimes reveals a significant emphasis on violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 43.7% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.2%) and public order offences (17.2%). These patterns may be influenced by the area’s character as a built-up region within North East Derbyshire, where social interactions and community dynamics could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of September—marking the start of the academic year and the return of students to university campuses—may have amplified tensions or increased opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the data also shows a marked divergence from UK averages in specific categories: public order offences were 142% above the national rate, while other theft was 33% below. This contrast suggests that local factors, such as the density of residential areas or the presence of community hubs, play a role in shaping crime profiles. The 10.0% gap above the UK average is notable, yet it is tempered by the fact that certain categories, like vehicle crime, were 58% below the national rate. This complexity underscores the need to consider both macro-level comparisons and micro-level influences when interpreting the area’s crime statistics.

September 2023 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with vehicle crime surging by 100% (from 1 to 2 incidents) and public order offences rising by 36.4% (from 11 to 15). These increases may be linked to the transition into autumn, with evenings drawing in and community events potentially contributing to heightened public disorder. Conversely, burglary dropped by 75% (from 4 to 1), and other crime fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), suggesting a temporary reduction in non-violent, opportunistic crimes. The area’s violent crime rate—3.9 per 1,000—was 42% above the UK average, a disparity that underscores the localised nature of violence and sexual offences. For residents, the 10.2% decline in the overall crime rate compared to August offers a glimmer of progress, though the persistent gap above the UK average warrants continued attention.

North Wingfield and Holmewood’s September 2023 crime rate of 8.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 13.8% decrease from the previous month’s 10.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the area’s seasonal rhythm, as September typically sees a shift in community activity with the start of the academic year. On a daily basis, 3 crimes were reported over the 30-day period, translating to roughly one reported crime for every 114 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure, while specific to the area, provides a tangible sense of the scale of crime relative to the local population. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the area’s 10% above UK average rate, the absolute number of incidents remains manageable within the community’s size. This context is critical for residents assessing risk and for local authorities planning resource allocation.
