Conisbrough Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Conisbrough's crime rate in May 2024 reached 10.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 20.2% above the UK average of 8.4. This figure reflects a pronounced divergence from national trends, with local conditions contributing to elevated rates. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.4% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.3%) and criminal damage and arson (10.7%). These figures align with seasonal patterns, as May's longer evenings and bank holidays likely intensified outdoor socialising, creating environments conducive to public order incidents and interpersonal conflicts. The area's crime profile is consistent with a built-up urban centre within Doncaster, where high foot traffic and community interactions may amplify certain types of crime. While anti-social behaviour rates remained slightly below the UK average, other categories such as criminal damage and arson were 77% above the national benchmark, suggesting localised challenges in managing property-related offences. The dominance of violent crime over property crime (violence: 43 cases vs property: 32) underscores the need for targeted interventions in areas with high concentrations of social activity. This pattern is likely influenced by Conisbrough's role as a commuter hub within Doncaster, where transient populations and commercial activity may contribute to increased incidents of violence and public disorder. The seasonal context of May—characterised by warmer weather and extended daylight hours—likely exacerbated these trends, as outdoor drinking and socialising became more prevalent. These factors, combined with the area's urban density, create a unique crime profile that demands a nuanced approach to policing and community engagement.

May 2024 saw notable fluctuations in crime trends, with robbery incidents surging by 100% to five cases, marking a stark departure from April's zero reports. Public order offences also rose sharply, increasing by 233.3% from three to ten incidents, likely influenced by extended evenings and increased socialising. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by two-thirds, from six to two, suggesting possible enforcement actions or shifts in local activity. Vehicle crime doubled to six cases, potentially linked to seasonal changes in parking patterns or increased vehicle movement. Anti-social behaviour remained slightly below the UK average (1.4 vs 1.4 per 1,000), while robbery rates were 355% above the UK average (0.5 vs 0.1 per 1,000). These figures illustrate a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, with specific categories showing marked divergence.

Conisbrough's crime rate in May 2024 rose to 10.1 per 1,000 residents, a 24.4% increase from April's 8.1 per 1,000. This places the area 20.2% above the UK average, highlighting a significant divergence from national trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately four reported crimes per day, translating to one crime for every 99 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure figure is lower than the UK average of one crime per 80 residents (based on UK data), the upward trend in Conisbrough contrasts with the national context. The population of 11,103 means that the absolute number of crimes (112) is relatively modest, but the rate suggests a pressing need for targeted interventions. The shift in crime patterns from April to May reflects seasonal dynamics, with longer evenings and bank holidays likely contributing to increased social activity in public spaces.
