Conisbrough Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Conisbrough's crime rate in January 2026 reached 8.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 27.9% above the UK average of 6.8. This figure, while lower than the previous month's 9.7, still reflects a persistent challenge for local authorities. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.4% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (33.3%) and other theft (6.3%). These patterns align with the area's character as a built-up district within Doncaster, where community interactions and local demographics may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of January—post-holiday period with reduced retail footfall and shorter days—likely influences crime trends, with fewer outdoor crimes typical of this time of year. However, the sharp increase in anti-social behaviour and the notable rise in bicycle theft suggest specific local factors at play. Violence and sexual offences, though 24% above the UK average, may be linked to the area's social dynamics, while anti-social behaviour's 212% above the national rate indicates a significant disparity requiring targeted interventions. The overall crime picture illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, with the need for ongoing monitoring of key categories such as anti-social behaviour and property crimes.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in January 2026 was a 100% increase in bicycle theft, with one reported incident after none in December. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal shifts or changes in local activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour rose sharply by 68.4% (from 19 to 32 incidents), a jump that could be linked to post-holiday social dynamics or unseasonably warm weather encouraging outdoor gatherings. Conversely, public order offences fell by 71.4% (from 7 to 2), due to reduced foot traffic during the post-Christmas period. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.1 per 1,000, remain 24% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 212% above the national rate. These disparities highlight the area's distinct challenges compared to the UK average, particularly in managing community tensions and disorder.

Conisbrough's crime rate in January 2026 dropped by 11.1% compared to December 2025, falling from 9.7 to 8.7 per 1,000 residents. This decline suggests a temporary easing of pressure on local policing resources. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 116 residents, a monthly exposure rate that remains higher than the UK average. While this figure is specific to Conisbrough, it underscores the persistent need for community engagement strategies. The population context—11,103 residents—means that each crime has a tangible impact on local life, particularly in densely populated parts of the built-up area. This rate, though lower than the previous month, still places Conisbrough significantly above the UK average, highlighting the area's unique challenges.
