Wingerworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wingerworth's crime profile in June 2025 continues to position the area as significantly safer than the UK average, with a crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents—61.7% below the national figure of 8.1 per 1,000. This marked disparity reflects the area's unique characteristics as a built-up district within a rural setting, where the combination of limited urban density and established community networks may contribute to lower crime rates. The most prevalent crime types in June were violence and sexual offences (34.8% of total crimes), followed closely by anti-social behaviour and public order offences (21.7% each). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflicts and public disorder rather than property-related crimes, which accounted for only 17.4% of all incidents. Seasonal factors may also play a role, with the start of summer influencing patterns of outdoor activity and social interaction. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, yet Wingerworth's rate of 1.1 per 1,000 remains 62% below this benchmark. Similarly, anti-social behaviour in the area is 51% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. While public order offences exceed the UK average by 19%, this category's relatively low base rate (0.6 per 1,000 nationally) means the area's figure of 0.7 per 1,000 remains within a narrow margin. These patterns highlight the importance of contextual factors—such as local governance, community engagement, and the area's geographical position—when interpreting crime statistics.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime, burglary, and public order offences each increasing by 100% compared to the previous month. This surge in public order offences—rising from zero to five cases—contrasts sharply with the 33.3% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 12 to 8 cases. The area's violent crime rate of 1.1 per 1,000 residents (34.8% of total crimes) remains 62% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour also saw a 16.7% reduction, though the category's rate of 0.7 per 1,000 remains 51% below the UK average. These figures suggest a combination of seasonal factors and local community dynamics, with the summer months potentially altering patterns of public interaction and activity.

Wingerworth's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 3.1 per 1,000 residents, marking an 8.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.4 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with the area's consistently low crime profile compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that may seem low but reflects the small population of 7,423 residents. When scaled to the monthly exposure, this equates to one reported crime for roughly every 323 residents. This statistic contextualises the frequency of crime in relation to the local population, offering a tangible measure of risk for residents. The area's crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, a pattern consistent with its rural-urban mix and relatively low population density, which may limit opportunities for certain types of crime.
