North Wingfield and Holmewood Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a combination of rising and falling crime trends in North Wingfield and Holmewood, with the most striking development being the 100% increase in robbery and possession of weapons. These categories, previously absent from the crime record, now contribute to the area’s overall rate of 8.0 per 1,000 residents, which is 9.6% above the UK average. This figure, though modest in absolute terms, highlights a persistent challenge for local authorities in maintaining public safety. The crime profile of the area remains dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 45.6% of all incidents, significantly exceeding the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This imbalance may be partly explained by the area’s characteristics as a built-up district within North East Derbyshire, where the concentration of residential and commercial activity could create conditions conducive to such crimes. Seasonal factors also played a role, with Bonfire Night and the onset of winter influencing patterns of criminal behaviour. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, but in North Wingfield and Holmewood, this category is 40% higher, a disparity that may reflect local demographics or socioeconomic factors. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category at 16.5% of all crimes, is also 23% above the UK average, suggesting that community tensions or transient populations may be contributing to this trend. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell below the UK average by 25%, a reduction that could be linked to seasonal patterns of vehicle usage or improved security measures in car parks. The overall crime rate, while slightly above the national average, does not appear to be escalating at an alarming pace, and the month-on-month decline from October’s 9.7 per 1,000 suggests that some interventions may be having an effect. However, the doubling of robbery cases remains a critical concern, particularly for residents in areas with high foot traffic or late-night activity. The data also reveals a mixed picture for property-related crimes, with burglary and criminal damage and arson both above the UK average, but other theft and vehicle crime showing more modest figures. These patterns will need to be closely monitored in the coming months to determine whether they represent temporary fluctuations or more enduring trends.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 100% increase in both robbery and possession of weapons, with each category rising from zero to two incidents. This sharp spike stands in stark contrast to the 80% drop in public order offences, which fell from five to one case. The shift in crime mix also highlights a troubling trend: violence and sexual offences accounted for 45.6% of all incidents, significantly above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This category alone is 40% higher than the national rate, a disparity that may reflect local factors such as the area’s proximity to transport hubs or social service provision. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell 25% below the UK average, a reduction that could be linked to seasonal changes in vehicle usage or improved security measures in car parks. For residents, the doubling of robbery cases is a direct concern, underscoring the need for vigilance in high-traffic areas during late-night hours.

North Wingfield and Holmewood’s crime rate in November 2025 fell by 17.7% compared to October, dropping from 9.7 to 8.0 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of late autumn, when colder weather and shorter evenings may reduce opportunities for outdoor crimes. Locally, the monthly average translates to approximately three crimes reported each day, a figure that, while consistent with historical trends, remains a key metric for residents assessing local safety. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 125 residents, a ratio that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 9,880, provides a tangible sense of the scale of criminal activity. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the peak seen in October but still reflects a community where crime remains a visible concern, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or transient populations. The reduction in overall crime rate may also reflect the impact of targeted policing efforts or community initiatives, though no specific programmes are cited in the data.
