Adwick le Street Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Adwick le Street’s August 2025 crime rate of 12.5 per 1,000 residents places it 54.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime picture, accounting for 34.9% of all reported incidents—4.4 per 1,000 residents, 53% above the UK average. This category’s prominence may partly explain the overall rate, given the area’s proximity to Doncaster’s urban core and potential for social interactions during summer evenings. Anti-social behaviour follows at 16.6%, with 2.1 per 1,000 residents, while public order offences (1.1 per 1,000) and criminal damage (1.1 per 1,000) also exceed UK averages by 90% and 86%, respectively. These trends align with August’s seasonal context: a peak holiday month that may amplify tensions in shared spaces or increase incidents linked to transient populations. Vehicle crime, at 1.1 per 1,000, is 182% above the UK average, suggesting vulnerabilities in parking areas or unsecured vehicles. direct links to local factors but highlights a shift toward non-property crimes, which may reflect broader societal patterns or unmet community needs. Seasonal factors, such as increased tourism and empty homes, could also contribute to fluctuations in specific categories, though this remains speculative without further data.

August 2025 saw a 233.3% increase in 'other crime' (from 3 to 10 incidents), a 133.3% rise in drug-related offences (from 3 to 7), and a 100% surge in robbery (from 0 to 1). These spikes contrast with a 53.8% drop in burglary (from 13 to 6) and a 41.2% decrease in criminal damage and arson (from 34 to 20). The most significant outlier remains violence and sexual offences, which fell by 9.9% month-on-month but still remain 53% above the UK average. This mix of increases and decreases suggests shifting dynamics in crime patterns, possibly influenced by August’s peak holiday season. For example, the drop in burglary may reflect fewer residents at home during the month, though this is not explicitly stated in the data. Conversely, the rise in 'other crime'—a vague category that may encompass a range of unclassified incidents—could indicate underreporting or evolving criminal activity. Residents might find the 182% increase in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it suggests targeted opportunities in local parking areas or car theft hotspots.

Adwick le Street’s crime rate in August 2025 (12.5 per 1,000) was 3.3% lower than the previous month’s rate of 13.0 per 1,000, indicating a slight downward trend. However, the area remains significantly above the UK average, with a 54.3% gap that underscores its unique crime profile. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 8 crimes per day in August, translating to 1 reported crime for every 80 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate (1-in-80) provides a tangible sense of the frequency of crime for local residents, though it does not account for the distribution of incidents across different areas or demographics. When scaled to the population of 18,756, the 235 total crimes represent a concentrated impact on the community, particularly in categories like violence and sexual offences, which affect local rates. The comparison to the previous month’s figures reveals a nuanced picture: while burglary and criminal damage declined, other categories such as drug offences and 'other crime' rose sharply, suggesting combination of seasonal factors and local conditions that warrant further analysis.
