Adwick le Street Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Adwick le Street’s overall crime rate for September 2023 stood at 13.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 73.8% above the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This disparity underscores the area’s distinct crime profile, which is shaped by its status as a built-up area within Doncaster. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (31.2% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (22.3%) and criminal damage and arson (14.6%). These figures suggest a focus on community-based issues, with property crimes (90 incidents) and violent crimes (81 incidents) collectively accounting for over 60% of reported incidents. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return to school and university freshers—likely influences these patterns, as increased youth activity may contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage. However, the data also reveals some positive trends: shoplifting, for instance, was 29% below the UK average, indicating a potential effectiveness of local retail security measures. The interplay between local demographics, such as the presence of younger populations, and broader national trends highlights the need for targeted strategies to address the most pressing concerns while building on areas of improvement.

September 2023 saw a 44.4% decrease in vehicle crime compared to August, with incidents dropping from 27 to 15.

This spike could reflect seasonal factors, such as increased youth activity or the impact of late-summer events. Anti-social behaviour also remained elevated, contributing 22.3% of all crimes and exceeding the UK average by 131%. Meanwhile, bicycle theft doubled to 2 incidents, though it remained below the UK average. These shifts highlight a combination of local patterns and national trends, with some categories showing marked improvement while others require closer attention.
