Denaby Main Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Denaby Main's crime profile in November 2024 reveals a stark divergence from the UK average, with an overall rate of 14.5 crimes per 1,000 residents — 90.8% above the national benchmark of 7.6. Violence and sexual offences dominate the landscape, accounting for 48.7% of all incidents, a rate 175% higher than the UK average. This category alone exceeds the national figure by more than double, suggesting a concentration of violent incidents that may be influenced by local factors such as population density or socioeconomic conditions. Criminal damage and arson also stand out, at 13.5% of total crimes and 251% above the UK average, potentially linked to seasonal events like Bonfire Night or economic pressures. Drugs-related crimes, though lower in volume (10.8% of total), are 515% above the UK average, indicating a significant local issue. The seasonal context of November — marked by shorter days, Black Friday shopping, and Bonfire Night — may contribute to these patterns, with increased street activity and potential spikes in alcohol-related incidents. While property crimes remain relatively low (17 incidents, 23% of total), the violent crime dominance suggests a focus on community safety strategies that address interpersonal conflict and substance use. The area's built-up nature within Doncaster likely plays a role, with higher population density and potential concentrations of vulnerable populations or high-risk activities. These findings, while not directly causal, point to a need for targeted interventions that address both immediate incidents and underlying factors.

November 2024 saw a 700% surge in drug-related crimes, rising from 1 to 8 incidents — a dramatic shift that may reflect seasonal factors or changes in local dynamics. Concurrently, shoplifting doubled, with 2 incidents reported compared to 1 in October, a trend that could align with Black Friday shopping activity. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell sharply by 71.4% (14 to 4), linked to seasonal transitions or targeted interventions. Violence and sexual offences remain 175% above the UK average, with 36 incidents reported — a figure that underscores the area's distinct challenges compared to national trends. These fluctuations, while not necessarily linked to specific events, highlight the need for ongoing analysis of how local patterns diverge from broader UK statistics.

Denaby Main's crime rate in November 2024 rose 8.8% from the previous month, climbing to 14.5 per 1,000 residents — a stark contrast to the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This increase, though modest in percentage terms, translates to a tangible shift in local experience: over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 69 residents. Daily crime figures show 2 incidents per day on average, a rhythm that may feel more frequent during darker evenings or high-traffic periods. When scaled to the area's population of 5,102, the monthly exposure highlights the proximity of crime to everyday life, with each resident statistically more likely to encounter crime than the UK average. While the daily rate provides a snapshot, the monthly figure underscores a persistent challenge for residents, particularly in comparison to areas where crime is less concentrated.
