Introduction to Derbyshire Police's crime statistics
This crime profile provides a detailed view of crime and safety around Derbyshire Police up to April 2026, the most recent data release available. The crime figures and statistics have been calculated across each of Derbyshire Police's 43,615 postcodes using three area sizes for comparison:
- Within a Five-Minute Walk
- Within a Ten-Minute Walk
- Within a Fifteen-Minute Walk
Individual crime risk scores and index figures are for the 12-month period ending April 2026 unless otherwise stated.
Crime Risk Scores
Derbyshire Police • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Derbyshire Police has a crime risk score of 564. This is based on analysis of 43,615 nearby areas within Derbyshire Police, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.
Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in Derbyshire Police's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Derbyshire Police, crime risk scores are typically around 564, while in National they are average 500.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 576 (500 for National), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 595 (National 500).
Trends in Crime Risk
Derbyshire Police
Calculated via Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, the Seasonality Adjusted line represents the original data with seasonality subtracted, and the Trend line has been plotted unadjusted. Overall trend direction has been identified using the Mann-Kendall trend test, and rate calculated from the slope of the best-fit line identified from linear regression.
The 10-year trend indicates an increase of 48% in Derbyshire Police's crime risk score. This is potentially a strong signal of how the crime risk is evolving. Cross-referencing with major cultural events and Covid's impact during this time is advised.
Looking at the previous five years, the trend in Derbyshire Police's crime risk score is up by 7%. While potentially a good indicator of the overall risk trend, analysis may offer further insight when combined with the checks mentioned above.
Over the last year, Derbyshire Police's crime risk score has shown an upward trend of approximately 5%, indicating that the risk profile is going up. This is an extremely short time period for crime trend analysis, and caution should be exercised when interpreting this figure.
