Denaby Main's crime rate in June 2024 (13.1 per 1,000) is 59.8% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, marking a stark contrast with national trends. This built-up area within Doncaster experiences a crime profile dominated by violence and sexual offences (37.3% of all incidents), anti-social behaviour (17.9%), and criminal damage and arson (14.9%).

However, a direct link between seasonal factors and the sharp rise in public order offences, which surged by 150% month-on-month. The UK comparison underscores the area's elevated risk: violence and sexual offences are 78% above the national average, while criminal damage and arson are 228% above. This disparity may reflect local characteristics, such as a higher concentration of vulnerable populations or limited resources for community policing. The presence of anti-social behaviour, which is 71% above the UK average, further indicates a need for targeted strategies to address community tensions. While the overall crime rate remains high, the breakdown of incidents reveals a combination of factors, including the area's urban character and potential gaps in local crime prevention efforts.
