Adwick le Street Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Adwick le Street during April 2025 reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, with a crime rate of 15.6 per 1,000 residents—102.6% above the national figure of 7.7 per 1,000. This built-up area within Doncaster shows a marked imbalance in crime types, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 34.8% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.2%) and criminal damage and arson (8.5%). These figures highlight a pattern where interpersonal and property-related crimes dominate, diverging from the UK trend where property crimes often outpace violent offences. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and spring weather—likely contributes to increased outdoor activity, potentially amplifying incidents of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. The rate of violent crimes in Adwick le Street is 107% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 148% higher, suggesting a unique local dynamic that may stem from community characteristics or environmental factors. The absence of significant drops in property crimes, combined with the persistent elevation of violent offences, points to a combination of social and spatial factors in this area. Spring’s transition from winter may also influence crime patterns, with warmer weather encouraging more outdoor gatherings, which could increase opportunities for violent incidents and anti-social conduct.

April 2025 saw significant shifts in crime trends, with possession of weapons surging by 200% (from 2 to 6 cases) and drugs-related offences rising 120% (from 5 to 11). These increases, coupled with a 100% rise in bicycle theft (from 0 to 2), contrast sharply with a 33.3% decline in vehicle crime (from 21 to 14). The dominance of violent crimes—accounting for 34.8% of all reported incidents—places Adwick le Street 107% above the UK average for this category, while anti-social behaviour is 148% higher than the national rate. Conversely, shoplifting remains below the UK average by 9%, indicating a potential disparity in retail environments or policing focus. The 23.1% increase in the overall crime rate from March 2025 (12.7 per 1,000 to 15.6 per 1,000) suggests a growing challenge in addressing local crime drivers. For residents, the 100% rise in bicycle theft highlights a specific vulnerability, particularly for commuters relying on cycling infrastructure. This data underscores the need for targeted interventions, such as enhanced lighting in high-risk areas or community engagement to tackle the root causes of violent and anti-social behaviour.

The crime rate in Adwick le Street for April 2025 (15.6 per 1,000) marks a 23.1% increase from March 2025’s rate of 12.7 per 1,000, reflecting a persistent upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 10 crimes per day in April, a figure that, while locally contextual, underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 18,756. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 64 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is higher than the UK average when scaled to population size. This statistic places Adwick le Street in a distinct position compared to national benchmarks, where the average resident is far less likely to be directly affected by crime. The population context further highlights the disproportionate impact on this area, with violent crimes and anti-social behaviour rates far exceeding UK norms. While the UK average crime rate is 7.7 per 1,000, Adwick le Street’s rate suggests a level of risk that is more than double, raising questions about local policing strategies, community resources, and socioeconomic factors. The daily crime count and monthly exposure figures serve as tangible reminders for residents of the need for vigilance and engagement with local authorities to address these challenges.
