Armthorpe Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a notable shift in Armthorpe's crime profile, with the overall crime rate standing at 6.4 per 1,000 residents — 22% below the UK average of 8.2. This figure, while lower than the national benchmark, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal dynamics. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (29 cases, 31.2% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (11 cases, 11.8%) and criminal damage and arson (10 cases, 10.8%). These patterns align with the characteristics of a built-up area within Doncaster, where public spaces and community interactions may contribute to higher rates of violent and disorderly incidents. The start of summer, with longer days and potentially increased social activity, could have influenced these figures, though the data also shows a marked decrease in shoplifting — a category that typically rises during peak retail seasons. The UK comparison for violence and sexual offences (28% below the national average) suggests that local initiatives or community engagement may be playing a role in mitigating these types of crimes. However, the rate of criminal damage and arson, which is 15% above the UK average, indicates a need for focused interventions in areas where property-related offences are concentrated. The overall decline in crime compared to the previous month, coupled with these specific fluctuations, underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies to address emerging trends in Armthorpe's crime profile.

June 2024 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with robbery incidents doubling compared to May, marking a 100% increase from one to two reported cases. This rise, though small in absolute terms, stands out as the most dramatic month-on-month change. Conversely, shoplifting dropped by 53.3%, declining from 15 to 7 incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in consumer behaviour or increased local enforcement. Anti-social behaviour remained significantly below the UK average, with a 43% gap, while criminal damage and arson edged 15% above the national average. Other crime, which includes unclassified incidents, surged by 50%, from four to six cases, a category that lacks a specific UK comparison but suggests evolving patterns in local criminal activity. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Armthorpe, where targeted actions or environmental factors may influence specific types of offences more than others.

Armthorpe's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 6.4 per 1,000 residents, a 29.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 9.0 per 1,000. This decline reflects a broader trend in the built-up area's crime profile, with daily crime activity averaging three reported incidents per day. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 156 residents, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the local population. The reduction in overall crime is most pronounced in property-related offences, with shoplifting and vehicle crime both showing significant decreases. However, the rate of robbery doubled compared to May, highlighting a shift in the nature of crime during this period. The population of 14,496 residents provides a baseline for understanding how these rates translate into real-world impacts for individuals and families in the area. This monthly comparison underscores the fluctuating dynamics of crime in Armthorpe, where seasonal and local factors may influence patterns over time.
