Adwick le Street Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Adwick le Street, the crime rate of 13.9 per 1,000 residents in November 2024 translates to a daily risk of encountering nearly one crime for every 72 people. This figure is 82.9% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, underscoring the area’s elevated exposure to crime compared to the national context. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 29.1% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.9%) and criminal damage and arson (14.6%). These patterns align with the built-up nature of Adwick le Street, where densely populated areas and local amenities may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal and property-related crimes. Seasonal factors in November — such as the darkening evenings, the commercial activity of Black Friday, and the community-focused Bonfire Night — may have influenced the crime profile. For instance, the 400% rise in possession of weapons could be linked to increased tensions during darker nights, while the 100% increase in bicycle theft may reflect greater visibility of bikes in the cold weather. However, the 25% decrease in anti-social behaviour suggests that community efforts or local policing strategies may have temporarily curbed disruptive activity. The high prevalence of violent crime, particularly at 59% above the UK average, indicates a need for targeted interventions to address root causes such as social isolation or economic hardship. Meanwhile, the relative decline in other theft (27% below UK average) and drugs-related crime (23% below UK average) offers a mixed picture of local crime dynamics, requiring further analysis to identify contributing factors.

November saw a 400% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 1 to 5 incidents, a stark shift that may reflect heightened tensions or seasonal factors. Bicycle theft also surged by 100%, climbing from 0 to 3 cases, possibly linked to increased visibility of bikes during darker evenings. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 25% compared to the previous month, suggesting a temporary reduction in disruptive activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent crime type, with a rate of 4.1 per 1,000 — 59% above the UK average. This highlights a persistent challenge in addressing violent crime in the area. Other theft was 27% below the UK average, indicating a relative decrease in this category compared to national trends.
