Armthorpe Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Armthorpe's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 7.0 per 1,000 residents, placing the built-up area 17.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This figure, consistent with the area's relatively low crime profile, reflects a mix of violent and property crimes that aligns with its urban character within Doncaster. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 45.5% of all incidents (46 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (14 cases) and public order offences (11 cases). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may influence patterns. While violent crime rates remain 10% above the UK average for this category, property crime rates are lower, with anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both below national averages. The area's crime profile appears shaped by its built-up environment, where public spaces and community interactions likely drive incidents of violence and disorder. This contrasts with rural areas, where burglary might dominate, or coastal towns, where theft from the person is more common. The overall rate, though modest, suggests a balance between local factors and broader national trends, with the summer months amplifying certain types of crime while others decline due to increased visibility or community engagement.

June 2023 saw the most dramatic month-on-month shift in bicycle theft, which rose by 100% from 0 to 1 incident. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal patterns such as increased cycling during longer summer days. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 70% compared to May, declining from 10 to 3 incidents—a drop that could indicate effective policing or improved community awareness. Anti-social behaviour also increased by 40%, rising from 10 to 14 incidents, suggesting a possible link to summer social activity. Violence and sexual offences. of all crimes, remained 10% above the UK average (2.9 vs 3.2 per 1,000), a disparity that may reflect local demographics or environmental factors. Other theft and shoplifting both fell significantly, with other theft dropping 69.2% and shoplifting decreasing 60%, linked to heightened security measures or seasonal retail activity.
