Conisbrough Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Conisbrough’s crime rate in April 2023 reached 9.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 24% above the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure, while elevated, is consistent with the area’s role as a built-up district within Doncaster, where urban density and proximity to transport hubs may contribute to higher rates of certain offences. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 36.9% of all incidents (38 cases), a rate of 3.4 per 1,000 that is 31% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, with 21 incidents (20.4% of total crimes) at 1.9 per 1,000, 61% higher than the national average. Other theft (11 cases, 10.7%) also exceeded UK levels by 79%. These patterns may be influenced by local factors, such as the area’s mix of residential and commercial land use, which can drive both interpersonal conflicts and property-related crimes. April’s seasonal context—Easter holidays and spring weather—likely played a role in shaping these figures, with increased outdoor activity contributing to higher incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour. Conversely, property crimes like burglary dropped sharply by 70%, from 10 to 3 cases, due to reduced foot traffic during school holidays or improved community policing efforts. The overall crime profile for Conisbrough in April 2023 highlights a combination of local demographics, seasonal shifts, and the broader regional crime profile.

April 2023 witnessed a 46.2% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 26 to 38 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in bicycle theft and shoplifting, points to a shift in the crime mix toward more personal and public order offences. Conversely, burglary dropped by 70%, from 10 to 3 incidents, likely reflecting seasonal changes in household activity and the impact of Easter holidays reducing opportunities for break-ins. Violence and sexual offences in Conisbrough were 31% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 61% above. Public order offences were 6% below the UK average, suggesting a relative decrease in disturbances linked to nightlife or public gatherings. These variations underscore the influence of local factors, such as the area’s demographic composition and the timing of Easter, which may have altered crime patterns compared to other regions.

April 2023 saw an 11.2% decrease in Conisbrough’s crime rate compared to March’s 10.5 per 1,000, bringing the monthly total to 9.3 per 1,000. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of spring, when increased daylight and warmer weather may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. Locally, the daily crime count averaged three incidents per day, a figure that reflects the area’s relatively compact built-up nature. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 108 residents, a monthly exposure rate that situates the area within a moderate range for its population of 11,103. This rate, while higher than the UK average, is tempered by the area’s specific demographic and geographic characteristics, such as its proximity to Doncaster’s urban core and the presence of community-focused initiatives that may contribute to lower rates of property crime. The contrast between the 11.2% monthly decline and the 24% gap above the UK average highlights the importance of local context in interpreting crime statistics.
