Conisbrough Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Conisbrough's crime rate in October 2025 was 9.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 23.4% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, while lower than the previous month's rate of 13.3 per 1,000, still underscores the area's persistent challenge in managing crime relative to national benchmarks. The most significant contributors to the local crime picture were anti-social behaviour (40% of all reported crimes), violence and sexual offences (36.2%), and shoplifting (5.7%). These patterns align with the characteristics of a mid-sized built-up area within Doncaster, where social interactions in public spaces and community dynamics may influence crime trends. The seasonal context of October—marked by the clocks going back, shorter daylight hours, and the Halloween period—likely contributed to the elevated levels of anti-social behaviour and other offences. While the overall rate has declined from September, the persistent gap above the UK average suggests that local factors, such as community cohesion, policing strategies, or socioeconomic conditions, may require further analysis. The data also reveals a combination of crime types: property crimes (20 incidents) accounted for a smaller share than violent crimes (38), indicating a shift in the balance of criminal activity. This could reflect broader societal trends, such as increased reporting of violent offences or targeted policing efforts in specific areas. The relatively low rates of shoplifting, criminal damage, and vehicle crime compared to UK averages suggest that certain crime prevention measures may be effective in Conisbrough, though the reasons for these differences remain to be explored. As the month progressed, the interplay between seasonal factors and local initiatives will likely continue to shape the crime profile, requiring ongoing monitoring and adaptive strategies.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 61.5% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 26 to 42 incidents. This spike, occurring against the backdrop of darker evenings and Halloween, may be linked to seasonal factors such as increased social gatherings or reduced visibility. Conversely, several crime categories saw significant declines: other crime fell by 87.5% (from 8 to 1), public order offences dropped by 81.8% (from 11 to 2), and vehicle crime decreased by 71.4% (from 14 to 4). These reductions suggest potential success in targeted interventions or natural seasonal lulls. Anti-social behaviour in Conisbrough is 202% above the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000, highlighting a stark local challenge. In contrast, shoplifting in the area is 21% below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, indicating that retail-focused crime may be less prevalent here than nationally. For residents, the sharp decline in vehicle crime—now at 0.4 per 1,000—could signal improved security measures or fewer opportunities for such offences in October.

Conisbrough's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 9.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 29.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 13.3 per 1,000. This downward trend suggests a shift in local dynamics. Over the course of October, 105 crimes were reported across 31 days, translating to roughly three crimes per day—a figure that, while local to Conisbrough, offers insight into the pace of criminal activity in the area. When scaled to the population of 11,103, the monthly exposure means that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 106 residents. This ratio provides a tangible measure of risk for residents, though it does not account for variations in individual exposure based on location or lifestyle. The contrast with the UK average crime rate of 7.7 per 1,000 highlights Conisbrough's continued position above the national benchmark, albeit with a notable reduction from earlier in the year. This comparison underscores the importance of localised efforts in addressing crime trends, even as broader national patterns may influence local outcomes.
