Conisbrough Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Conisbrough’s crime profile in February 2024, accounting for 37.2% of all reported crimes and standing at 3.8 per 1,000 residents—52% above the UK average. This category alone contributed significantly to the area’s overall crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000, which is 43.7% higher than the national average. The prominence of violent crime in Conisbrough may be tied to the area’s built-up nature and its role within Doncaster’s broader urban framework, where social interactions and potential conflicts are more concentrated. Drug-related offences, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, were 567% above the UK average, a figure that suggests a possible disconnect between local law enforcement efforts and the scale of the issue. Anti-social behaviour also rose to 1.4 per 1,000, 33% above the UK average, potentially reflecting the impact of seasonal factors such as the winter months, which can limit outdoor activity and shift criminal behaviour indoors. The seasonal context of February—marked by low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—may have contributed to the persistence of certain crime types, though the exact interplay between environment and behaviour remains complex. Conisbrough’s crime profile highlights a need for targeted interventions in violent crime and drug-related issues, areas where the local rate is significantly elevated compared to the UK. The data also underscores the importance of contextualising crime trends within the area’s unique geography and demographics, rather than drawing broad conclusions from aggregated statistics.

February 2024 revealed stark month-on-month changes, with drug-related crimes surging by 700% (from 2 to 16 cases). This jump, though extreme, aligns with Conisbrough’s position as a built-up area within Doncaster, where drug-related activity may be influenced by broader regional trends. Vehicle crime also rose sharply by 120%, potentially linked to increased traffic or unsecured vehicles in residential areas. Anti-social behaviour increased by 50%, a trend that could reflect seasonal factors such as the pre-spring lull in outdoor activity, which may push some individuals toward indoor or nuisance-related offences. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 66.7%, a decrease that may be attributed to tighter retail security measures or reduced foot traffic during winter. Violence and sexual offences remained high, at 52% above the UK average, a category that often reflects broader social tensions or unmet community needs.

Conisbrough's crime rate in February 2024 rose to 10.2 per 1,000 residents, marking a 25.5% increase from the previous month’s 8.1 per 1,000. This upward trend suggests a shift in local patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day—a figure that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 98 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents within a relatively small population. When compared to the UK average, Conisbrough’s rate is elevated, but the local context—such as the town’s built-up character and proximity to Doncaster’s urban core—may contribute to this disparity. The population context also matters: with 11,103 residents, the area’s crime statistics are scaled to a community size that may lack the resources of larger cities but faces unique challenges in maintaining public safety.
