Conisbrough Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Conisbrough, 8.8 crimes were reported in July 2024, placing the area 4.8% above the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of 3 crimes per day, with one in every 113 residents encountering a reported crime over the month. The most significant contributors to the crime rate were violence and sexual offences (39.8% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.3%) and 'other crime' (10.2%). These figures are consistent with the area’s character as a built-up district within Doncaster, where a mix of residential, retail, and community spaces may drive higher rates of violent and disorderly incidents. July, as a peak summer month, likely amplified certain trends: schools being out, festivals, and outdoor events may have increased foot traffic in public areas, contributing to higher rates of violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the overall crime rate remains lower than in some UK urban centres, suggesting that local factors such as community policing or economic conditions may moderate the impact of seasonal changes. The rate of violence and sexual offences (3.5 per 1,000) was higher than the UK average (2.9 per 1,000), a 23% disparity that may reflect the area’s proximity to nightlife venues or its role as a commuter hub. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour (1.2 per 1,000) was 17% below the UK average (1.4 per 1,000), due to increased community engagement or seasonal shifts in activity patterns. The 'other crime' category (0.9 per 1,000) was 429% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000), a stark outlier that may indicate underreporting or the presence of specific local issues. This highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where crime types diverge significantly from national trends. As the summer season progresses, local authorities may need to monitor these patterns closely to ensure that rising rates in categories like possession of weapons (0.5 per 1,000, 614% above the UK average) do not escalate further.

July 2024 saw sharp increases in possession of weapons (+150%), bicycle theft (+100%), and 'other crime' (+100%), reflecting a shift in the crime mix. These spikes contrast with declines in burglary (-62.5%), other theft (-55.6%), and criminal damage and arson (-50%), suggesting a reallocation of criminal activity. The rate of violence and sexual offences (3.5 per 1,000) was 23% above the UK average, a significant disparity that may be linked to the area’s proximity to nightlife hubs or summer festivals. Conversely, anti-social behaviour (1.2 per 1,000) was 17% below the UK average, possibly due to increased police presence or community initiatives during the peak tourist season. A resident might find the 100% rise in bicycle theft particularly concerning, as it highlights vulnerabilities in securing personal property during outdoor events.

Conisbrough’s crime rate in July 2024 fell by 10.1% compared to June, dropping from 9.8 to 8.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a seasonal shift, as summer holidays and festivals may have drawn attention away from certain areas or altered patterns of activity. On a daily basis, 3 crimes were reported over the 31 days, translating to roughly one reported crime for every 113 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure provides a tangible sense of risk: a resident has a 1-in-113 chance of encountering a crime during July. When scaled to the population, the 8.8 rate means that for every 1,000 people in Conisbrough, nearly nine crimes occurred. This is slightly higher than the UK average but reflects local factors such as the area’s mix of residential and retail spaces, which may contribute to higher rates of violent and anti-social behaviour. The drop from June could also be linked to increased community engagement during peak summer months, though this remains speculative without further data.
