North Wingfield and Holmewood Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,880 residents, North Wingfield and Holmewood recorded 81 crimes in June 2024, translating to one reported crime for roughly every 122 residents over the month. This rate of 8.2 per 1,000 residents aligns precisely with the UK average, marking a notable consistency in crime levels between this built-up area and national benchmarks. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 53.1% of all incidents (43 cases) and sitting 59% above the UK average for this category. This spike may partly explain the overall rate, though local factors such as the area’s proximity to major transport links and seasonal activity patterns could also play a role. Anti-social behaviour followed with 12 cases (14.8% of total), while criminal damage and arson (9 cases) and other theft (9 cases) both exceeded UK averages by 48% and 55% respectively. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—could influence patterns, with increased foot traffic and social gatherings contributing to higher rates of violent incidents and property-related crimes. However, the area’s relatively low property crime share (19 of 81 total) contrasts with the UK average, suggesting a distinct local dynamic that may reflect community engagement or policing strategies.

June 2024 saw a 125% increase in other theft cases, rising from 4 to 9 incidents. This surge may reflect heightened activity during the summer months or shifts in criminal focus toward unsecured premises. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 62.5% (from 8 to 3), and vehicle crime fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), both of which align with the area’s 78% below UK average for vehicle crime. The violent crime category remained 59% above the UK average, with 43 cases of violence and sexual offences recorded. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the violent category, still outpaced the UK average by 14%, suggesting ongoing challenges in managing community disorder. The rate of other theft (0.9 per 1,000) was 55% above the UK average, highlighting a potential vulnerability in local security practices or unmet demand for crime prevention measures. Residents may find the 125% rise in other theft particularly concerning, as it indicates a sharp shift in criminal activity that could require targeted interventions.

The crime rate in June 2024 (8.2 per 1,000) marked a 19% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.1, reflecting a significant downward trend. Over the 30 days of June, the area recorded an average of 3 crimes per day—a figure that, while modest, underscores the daily reality of crime for residents. On a monthly basis, the 1-in-122 resident exposure rate illustrates that most individuals in North Wingfield and Holmewood are unlikely to experience a crime personally, though the presence of 81 incidents over the month indicates that the community remains engaged with local policing and reporting mechanisms. This rate compares to the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, with the area’s crime profile showing both alignment and divergence: while overall rates match the national figure, specific categories like violence and sexual offences (59% above UK average) and other theft (55% above) suggest localised pressures. The 78% below UK average for vehicle crime, however, highlights a potential success in local strategies to deter such incidents, possibly through improved parking management or community awareness initiatives.
