Wingerworth Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Wingerworth during July 2025 reveals a pattern skewed towards anti-social behaviour and violence, which together account for 61.6% of all reported incidents. With a total of 26 crimes recorded, the area's overall crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents is 59.3% below the UK average, reflecting a safety profile that contrasts sharply with national trends. The dominance of non-property crimes—anti-social behaviour (30.8%) and violence (30.8%)—suggests a focus on community-level interactions rather than property-focused criminal activity. This balance may be influenced by Wingerworth's character as a built-up area within North East Derbyshire, where public spaces and community engagement likely play a role in shaping crime patterns. Seasonal context for July, with schools out and tourism at its peak, may have contributed to higher reports of anti-social behaviour, consistent with the increased visibility of public interactions during summer months. The relatively low rates of property crimes—only 19% of total incidents—contrast with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. This divergence may indicate a combination of factors, including effective local policing, strong community cohesion, or the physical layout of the built-up area itself, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime. The absence of significant spikes in theft or burglary further supports the notion that Wingerworth's crime profile is shaped by its specific social and geographical context, rather than by broader national trends.
