Wingerworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Wingerworth's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 61.6% below the UK average of 7.3. This stark divergence from national trends highlights the built-up area's unique crime profile, where violence and sexual offences accounted for 38.1% of all recorded crimes. These incidents, at 1.1 per 1,000, were 57% below the UK average, a performance that may be partly explained by Wingerworth's character as a small, closely-knit community within North East Derbyshire. The area's low crime rates appear consistent with its rural-adjacent setting, where community policing and limited nightlife may reduce opportunities for violent crime. Other theft (19.1% of total crimes) and public order offences (9.5%) were the next most common categories, with the former showing a dramatic 300% increase from October. This surge could be linked to the seasonal context of November, which includes Black Friday shopping and the approach of winter, when retail theft often spikes. Meanwhile, the relatively low rate of burglary (0.3 per 1,000) aligns with the area's limited commercial density, a factor that likely reduces opportunities for such crimes. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, shorter daylight hours, and the transition from autumn to winter—may also influence crime patterns, though the area's overall safety record suggests that these factors have not significantly disrupted its low-crime environment.

November saw a 300% increase in other theft, rising from one to four incidents, a sharp contrast to the 60% decrease in criminal damage and arson, which fell from five to two. This shift in crime mix suggests a move from property damage to personal property theft, potentially linked to Black Friday shopping activity. Public order offences also doubled, increasing from zero to two incidents, a trend that may reflect the impact of Bonfire Night events. Violence and sexual offences remained 57% below the UK average at 1.1 per 1,000, a figure that outperforms national benchmarks despite the seasonal context. Residents may find the 100% increase in 'other crime' incidents, which rose from zero to one, particularly noteworthy, though the category's vague definition limits direct interpretation.

Wingerworth's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 5.2% compared to the previous month, increasing from 2.7 to 2.8 crimes per 1,000 residents. This small upward trend contrasts with the area's historically low crime profile, which remains 61.6% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 353 residents. Given Wingerworth's population of 7,423, this suggests a relatively quiet crime environment, with residents facing a low likelihood of encountering crime on a personal level. The population-scaled perspective reinforces the area's status as a low-crime built-up area within North East Derbyshire, where community-focused policing and local initiatives may contribute to sustained safety outcomes.
