Conisbrough Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

May 2025 marked a combination of trends in Conisbrough, a built-up area within Doncaster. The overall crime rate stood at 8.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 6.2% above the UK average of 8.1. Violence and sexual offences (32 incidents, 33.7% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (21 incidents, 22.1%) emerged as the most prevalent categories, with both significantly exceeding national averages. This pattern may reflect the area’s proximity to retail hubs and community spaces, which often see higher concentrations of social interactions. Seasonal factors also likely played a role: May’s extended evenings and bank holidays may have contributed to increased outdoor activity and associated risks. Vehicle crime.4 per 1,000, showed a stark deviation from the UK average, highlighting a potential vulnerability in local transport infrastructure or parking management. The data suggests a need for targeted interventions in high-traffic areas, while the relatively lower rates of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and other theft (0.2 per 1,000) compared to the UK may indicate effective community policing or environmental design measures. However, the rise in public order offences (8 incidents, 8.4%) and anti-social behaviour could signal challenges in managing community spaces during peak social hours. These findings underscore the importance of balancing proactive measures with contextual awareness of local rhythms, such as seasonal events and demographic patterns, to address emerging risks without overgeneralising the area’s profile.

May 2025 saw a notable 300% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 4 to 16 incidents—a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. This surge may be linked to increased traffic during May’s bank holidays and extended evenings, which likely saw more vehicles on local roads. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 50%, from 4 to 2 incidents, a drop that could reflect improved home security measures or heightened community vigilance. Anti-social behaviour remained a persistent concern, with 21 incidents (1.9 per 1,000), 34% above the UK average, suggesting a need for focused community engagement in areas with high foot traffic. Meanwhile, other crime categories saw sharp reductions: other crime fell by 66.7% (from 9 to 3), and criminal damage and arson decreased by 28.6% (from 14 to 10). These declines may be partly attributed to seasonal shifts, as the transition from spring to summer often sees a realignment of community activities and policing priorities. Residents may find the 62% reduction in other theft (from 0.5 to 0.2 per 1,000) particularly reassuring, though the 25% increase in bicycle theft (from 0 to 1 incident) highlights a niche vulnerability that warrants attention. The data illustrates a mixed picture, with some categories showing marked improvement while others demand closer scrutiny.

Conisbrough’s crime rate in May 2025 (8.6 per 1,000) was 5.9% lower than the previous month’s rate of 9.1, reflecting a modest but measurable downward trend. This decline aligns with the monthly exposure figure, which indicates one reported crime for roughly every 117 residents over the course of the month—a figure that, while slightly higher than the UK average, remains within a manageable range for a built-up area. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day, a localised metric that does not directly compare to national daily averages but provides context for residents. When scaled to the population of 11,103, the crime rate reveals that each resident faces a 0.86% chance of being involved in a crime annually, a statistic that underscores the importance of community-based prevention strategies. The reduction in burglary and other theft, coupled with the relatively low rates of violent crime, suggests that Conisbrough’s crime profile is less severe than many urban centres, though the above-average rates of anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime indicate targeted challenges. These figures highlight the need for tailored approaches that address specific vulnerabilities, such as vehicle-related crimes in high-traffic zones, while building on the progress seen in reducing property offences. The comparison with the previous month also reveals that sustained efforts—whether through policing, community initiatives, or environmental design—may be contributing to the gradual improvement in overall safety.
