Wingerworth Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Wingerworth’s June 2024 crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents places it 42.7% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, a position that reflects a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. This built-up area within North East Derbyshire, while not immune to local fluctuations, demonstrates a pattern where violent crime dominates the crime mix—accounting for 45.7% of all recorded incidents—yet remains 20% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour (17.1% of crimes) and public order offences (11.4%) also contribute significantly to the local crime picture, both of which are below their respective UK averages. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may influence patterns, though the area’s lower property crime rate (5 total incidents, or 14.3% of all crimes) suggests a reduced incidence of burglary and theft compared to larger urban centres. This could be attributed to Wingerworth’s smaller population, more tightly knit community structures, or local initiatives that may not be explicitly documented in the data. The area’s violent crime rate, while higher than its property crime rate, remains significantly below the UK average, a contrast that may be linked to the built-up area’s character, where community policing and lower population density could contribute to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. The overall crime mix, however, reveals a balance between violent and non-violent offences, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences forming a substantial portion of the total. This suggests that while the area is relatively safe compared to the UK average, localised issues such as anti-social conduct and public disorder may require targeted attention. The data also indicates that Wingerworth’s crime profile is shaped by factors specific to its geography and demographics, which may include a mix of residential and commercial areas that influence the types of offences recorded. Seasonal considerations, such as the longer days and increased outdoor activity in June, could contribute to a higher incidence of public order offences, though this remains speculative without further data. Overall, the June 2024 figures illustrate a combination of local factors that keep the area’s crime rate well below the national average, even as certain categories show notable variations.

June 2024 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, including a 100% increase in drug-related offences and a 100% rise in possession of weapons, both of which were previously unrecorded in the month. These spikes, while modest in absolute terms, suggest potential changes in local activity or enforcement priorities. Conversely, other theft offences fell by 50%, a decline that may reflect improved security measures or reduced opportunities for such crimes. The area’s violent crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 (45.7% of all crimes) is 20% below the UK average for this category, a contrast to burglary, which at 0.4 per 1,000 is 33% above the UK rate. This divergence highlights the area’s unique crime profile, where property crime remains relatively low but certain categories, such as drug offences, show marked fluctuations. A resident might find the 100% increase in possession of weapons particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a new dimension to local crime trends.

Wingerworth's June 2024 crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents stands 42.7% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, highlighting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. This contrast is evident even when considering the area’s population of 7,423, where the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime per 212 residents suggests a relatively low frequency of incidents relative to the size of the community. While the previous month’s rate was 3.2 per 1,000, the 46.1% increase in June indicates a shift in local crime patterns, though the overall rate remains well below the UK benchmark. Daily crime figures show an average of one reported incident per day in June, a figure that, when contextualised against the built-up area’s characteristics, may reflect a combination of local policing effectiveness and community dynamics. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that, despite the month-on-month rise, Wingerworth’s residents face a significantly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the UK average, a trend consistent with historical data for this area.
