Conisbrough Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Anti-social behaviour emerged as the dominant crime category in Conisbrough during February 2026, accounting for 42.1% of all reported crimes—a stark contrast to the UK average of 0.9 per 1,000. With 32 incidents recorded, this category alone exceeded the total number of violent crimes (22) and property crimes (13) combined, underscoring its significance in the local crime profile. The overall crime rate of 6.8 per 1,000 placed the area 6.2% above the UK average of 6.4, a margin that, while modest, warrants attention. This discrepancy may be influenced by Conisbrough's characteristics as a built-up area within Doncaster, where social interactions in public spaces could contribute to higher anti-social behaviour rates. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with reduced outdoor activity—may have amplified indoor gatherings, fueling disputes or disorder. However, direct causation, and other factors such as local demographics or policing strategies may also play a role. Violent crimes, though lower in frequency than anti-social behaviour, remained a concern, with 22 incidents reported. This figure was 14% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, suggesting a possible alignment with broader national trends. The breakdown highlights the need for a nuanced approach to crime prevention, balancing targeted interventions for anti-social behaviour with sustained efforts to address other categories. As the area transitions into spring, monitoring how seasonal shifts influence crime patterns will be critical for maintaining public safety.

February 2026 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with 'other crime' surging by 150% and 'public order' offences increasing by 50% compared to January. Conversely, shoplifting plummeted by 75%, and burglary fell by 50%, suggesting potential shifts in criminal activity or local interventions. Anti-social behaviour remained high, at 219% above the UK average, with 32 incidents reported—nearly half of all crimes in the area. This category's dominance may reflect the impact of indoor social gatherings during colder weather. Meanwhile, 'other theft' saw a 66.7% decline, potentially linked to seasonal factors or increased awareness among residents. These changes highlight the importance of tracking specific crime types to inform targeted policing and community engagement efforts.

Conisbrough's crime rate in February 2026 (6.8 per 1,000) marked a 20.9% decrease from the previous month's 8.7 per 1,000, reflecting a notable shift in local crime dynamics. This reduction aligns with the seasonal context of February—a winter month with lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull—potentially reducing opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the need for ongoing community vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 146 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when contextualised against the area's population of 11,103, highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents per individual. This statistic may offer reassurance to residents, though it remains important to monitor trends and local patterns for any emerging concerns.
