North Wingfield and Holmewood Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

North Wingfield and Holmewood’s crime rate in September 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 9.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This position within the national context reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal influences. The area’s crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 50.0% of all reported incidents, with 33 cases recorded. This category’s rate of 3.3 per 1,000 was 28% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may be influenced by the area’s built-up nature and the presence of community hubs that could contribute to higher interpersonal conflicts. Anti-social behaviour followed as the second most common category, with 11 incidents (1.1 per 1,000), 6% below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. This suggests that while the area faces challenges in managing violent crime, it performs better in mitigating disorderly conduct compared to the national picture. The seasonal context of September, marked by the return to school routines and the winding down of summer activities, may have contributed to the overall crime rate, though the absence of a sharp spike in property crimes—such as burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000), both significantly below the UK average—indicates that the area’s security measures or environmental factors may be effective in deterring such offences. These patterns, when considered alongside the area’s character as a built-up locality within North East Derbyshire, offer insights into the interplay between local dynamics and broader national trends.

September 2025 saw a stark reduction in violence and sexual offences, which fell by 43.1% from 58 incidents in August to 33 in September. This decline may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the end of the summer holidays and the return to routine activities. However, drug-related crimes surged by 100%, rising from one to two incidents, a shift that contrasts with the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. Possession of weapons also increased sharply, doubling from zero to two incidents, a rate 186% above the UK average. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained relatively stable, with 11 incidents (1.1 per 1,000), 6% below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. The area’s violent crime rate (3.3 per 1,000) was 28% above the UK average, highlighting a notable discrepancy in this category. These shifts underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing drug-related activity and weapon possession, while the decline in violent offences offers a potential area for further analysis.

North Wingfield and Holmewood’s crime rate in September 2025 fell to 6.7 per 1,000 residents, a 36.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 10.4 per 1,000. This drop aligns with the seasonal transition into autumn, when reduced foot traffic and school holidays may temporarily ease some crime pressures. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of two crimes per day over the month, reflecting a relatively low frequency compared to larger urban centres. Over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 150 residents, illustrating a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. With a population of 9,880, this figure suggests that the area’s residents face a lower risk of encountering crime than the national average, though localised spikes in specific categories, such as violence and sexual offences, warrant attention. The population-scaled perspective highlights how the area’s smaller size and potentially lower population density contribute to this reduced exposure, though the balance between crime types remains a key factor in understanding local patterns.
