Denaby Main Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Denaby Main's crime profile in September 2023, accounting for 36.8% of all reported incidents. This category alone recorded 32 crimes, a rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents—130% above the UK average. The area's overall crime rate of 17.1 per 1,000 residents is 113.8% higher than the UK's 8.0, reflecting a stark divergence from national trends. Public order offences followed closely, with 13 incidents reported (2.6 per 1,000), 319% above the UK average. These figures suggest a significant challenge in managing public safety, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or social activity. The seasonal context of September—back-to-school periods and university freshers—may partly explain the rise in anti-social behaviour and public order issues, as younger populations return to the area. While property crimes made up 25.3% of the total (22 incidents), violent crimes remained the dominant category, likely influenced by the area's social dynamics and the timing of local events. This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically outnumber violent ones, indicating a unique local challenge. The data also shows a marked increase in drug-related offences, which may be linked to the influx of students or changes in local enforcement priorities. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing violent and public order offences, which are high compared to national benchmarks.

September 2023 saw a dramatic 200% increase in drug-related crimes, rising from one incident to three. This spike, though small in absolute terms, signals a potential shift in local drug dynamics. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 125%, with reports jumping from four to nine—possibly linked to seasonal changes as students return to education. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 50%, dropping from four to two incidents, which may reflect reduced traffic during school holidays or improved security measures. The area's violent crime rate remains 130% above the UK average, with 32 incidents reported, despite a 22% month-on-month decrease. Possession of weapons saw an astronomical 1,043% increase. These figures reveal a combination of local factors and broader trends, with some categories showing stark divergence from national norms.

Denaby Main's crime rate in September 2023 rose to 17.1 per 1,000 residents, a 6.1% increase from August's 16.1. This places the area significantly above the UK average, which remains steady at 8.0 per 1,000. Locally, the daily crime count averaged three incidents per day over the month, highlighting a consistent presence of criminal activity. On a monthly basis, one crime occurred for every 59 residents, a figure that, while specific to Denaby Main, illustrates the frequency of incidents in a small population. This rate is higher than the UK average when scaled to the same population size, suggesting a concentrated challenge in crime management. The population context further underscores the impact: in a community of 5,102 people, the relative density of crime may contribute to heightened awareness or pressure on local services. These figures, while stark, provide a clear baseline for understanding the area's security landscape compared to both previous months and the national context.
