Denaby Main Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Denaby Main’s crime rate in June 2023 was 16.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 96.5% above the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This stark deviation from the national picture underscores the area’s unique challenges in crime prevention. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 37.7% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (16.5%) and criminal damage and arson (16.5%). These figures suggest a significant overrepresentation of violent and disorderly crimes compared to the UK, where such categories are generally lower. The seasonal context of June, the start of summer, may contribute to these patterns, as increased outdoor activity and longer daylight hours could influence both victim behaviour and perpetrator opportunities. However, a direct causal link; it merely illustrates a consistent trend. The area’s built-up nature within Doncaster likely plays a role in the prevalence of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, which may be exacerbated by local social dynamics or environmental factors. While the overall crime rate remains high, the breakdown shows no single category overwhelmingly dominating the statistics, indicating a broad-based challenge for local authorities. This situation contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically outweigh violent offences, highlighting Denaby Main’s distinct profile.

June 2023 saw a 133.3% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 3 to 7 incidents, a sharp contrast to the 72.7% decline in burglary, which fell from 11 to 3. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 55.6%, with cases increasing from 9 to 14, potentially reflecting heightened community tensions or seasonal gatherings. Denaby Main’s rate for violence and sexual offences (6.3 per 1,000) was 116% above the UK average, while possession of weapons (0.4 per 1,000) was 400% above the national figure. Conversely, shoplifting decreased by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, marking a rare drop in this category. These shifts highlight a combination of local factors and broader trends, with property crime remaining a significant concern despite the overall decline in violent offences.

Denaby Main's crime rate in June 2023 stood at 16.7 per 1,000 residents, a 17.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 20.2 per 1,000. This decline suggests a possible stabilisation in local crime trends, though the area remains significantly above the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly three reported crimes per day, a figure that underscores the persistent nature of crime in this built-up area. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 60 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime. This rate, while lower than the prior month, still reflects a population-scaled challenge for residents. The drop in burglary and shoplifting, coupled with the rise in vehicle crime, may indicate shifting patterns linked to seasonal factors or local activity changes. However, the absence of a UK daily crime comparison means this local context must be interpreted without broader national benchmarks.
