Armthorpe Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 marked a continuation of Armthorpe’s generally low crime profile, with a total crime rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents—19.2% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure, while modest, reflects a mix of crime types shaped by the area’s character as a built-up district within Doncaster. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 25.9% of reported crimes, followed by vehicle crime (20.0%) and anti-social behaviour (15.3%). The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, may have influenced patterns. For instance, vehicle crime, though elevated by 200% compared to the UK average, could be tied to increased traffic during holiday shopping periods. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 50% compared to the previous month, due to colder weather curbing public gatherings. The area’s lower rate of violent crime, 42% below the UK average, may be attributable to its relatively stable community dynamics. However, the sharp rise in shoplifting—now 133% higher than October—suggests a need for closer monitoring of retail areas during peak shopping periods. Overall, Armthorpe’s crime picture remains one of controlled risk, with specific pockets of concern requiring targeted awareness.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in three crime categories: other crime (200% rise), shoplifting (133% rise), and possession of weapons (100% rise). These jumps, though not yet reaching statistically significant levels, warrant attention. The rise in shoplifting could be linked to Black Friday sales activity, though the rate remains 21% below the UK average. Conversely, burglary fell by 57.1%, likely due to increased police patrols or seasonal deterrence factors. Vehicle crime, which is 200% above the UK average, may reflect increased traffic during holiday shopping or Bonfire Night events. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 50%, due to colder weather reducing public gatherings. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high vehicle turnover and during late-night events. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, but Armthorpe’s rate of 1.5 per 1,000 is 42% below, indicating a safer profile in this category.

Armthorpe’s crime rate in November 2025 fell by 24.2% compared to the previous month, declining from 7.7 to 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This marks a significant improvement in overall safety. below the UK average. Locally, 3 crimes were reported daily on average, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the community. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 171 residents, a monthly exposure rate that aligns with the area’s relatively low crime profile. With a population of 14,496, this suggests that most residents are not directly affected by crime on a daily basis. The decline may reflect seasonal factors, such as the winding down of Black Friday shopping activity or reduced foot traffic during darker evenings. However, the drop does not eliminate the need for vigilance, particularly in areas where specific crime types have shown recent spikes.
