Hallam Fields, Erewash: Safety
Safety
Crime in Hallam Fields has dropped noticeably over the past two years. Recorded crimes fell from 87.7 per 1,000 people in 2024 to 72.4 in 2025, and that improvement has continued into 2026.
This is genuinely good news. The neighbourhood sits below the UK average for crime rate, and well below nearby areas like Little Hallam and Larklands, which both record significantly higher figures. Anti-social behaviour is also lower here than the UK and East Midlands averages.
The improvement spans multiple crime categories, not just one or two. If you're thinking about buying here, Hallam Fields compares favourably to its surroundings and the trend is moving in the right direction.
