North Wingfield and Holmewood Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

November 2024 saw North Wingfield and Holmewood maintain a crime rate of 7.7 per 1,000 residents, a 1.3% increase above the UK average of 7.6. This slight elevation, though modest, underscores the area's unique crime profile compared to national trends. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 60.5% of all crimes (46 incidents), with a rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents—82% above the UK average for this category. This stark disparity may reflect local demographics or environmental factors, such as the area's built-up nature and potential concentrations of vulnerable populations. Property crimes, though lower in absolute terms, still contributed 23.7% of the total (18 incidents), with shoplifting and criminal damage remaining notable subcategories. Seasonal factors likely played a role, as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping may have influenced both violent and property crime patterns. The data also reveals a significant gap between the area's violent crime rate and the UK average, suggesting a need for tailored interventions. While property crimes remain below the UK average for most categories, the sharp rise in 'Other crime'—a category not explicitly defined in the data—points to emerging trends warranting further investigation. The overall stability in the crime rate compared to October, despite these fluctuations, indicates that the area's crime profile remains broadly consistent, though with pockets of concern that require attention.

The most striking shift in November 2024 was the 400% increase in 'Other crime,' which rose from one to five incidents. This category, while not explicitly defined in the data, may partly explain the broader rise in non-violent, non-property-related offences. Shoplifting also surged by 150%, jumping from two to five cases—a sharp contrast to the 28% UK average deficit for this category. This spike aligns with seasonal factors, as Black Friday shopping likely drove increased retail activity and potential theft opportunities. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 44.4%, a drop consistent with the UK average trend for this category. Other theft and drugs offences also declined, though the latter's 33.3% reduction may reflect targeted policing efforts or seasonal lulls. Violent crime remains the dominant category, at 4.7 per 1,000 residents—82% above the UK average—highlighting persistent challenges in this area.

North Wingfield and Holmewood's crime rate in November 2024 remained stable compared to October, with a 1.3% increase from 7.6 to 7.7 per 1,000 residents. This small shift suggests consistency in local crime patterns, though the slight rise warrants attention to ongoing trends. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately three crimes per day, a figure that aligns with historical averages for this built-up area within North East Derbyshire. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 130 residents, a monthly aggregate that provides context for the frequency of incidents. This rate is comparable to other similar-sized urban areas in the region, though the slight elevation above the UK average highlights the need for targeted local analysis. The population of 9,880 means each resident faces a calculated risk, but the overall stability indicates that systemic factors—rather than sudden spikes—shape the crime picture here.
