Denaby Main Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Denaby Main's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 12.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 48.1% above the UK average of 8.1. This stark divergence from the national picture highlights significant local challenges. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 45.9% of all reported incidents (28 cases), a rate of 5.5 per 1,000 — 92% above the UK average for this category. These figures suggest a concentrated issue with interpersonal crime, possibly linked to the area's social dynamics or community structure. Criminal damage and arson (7 cases, 1.4 per 1,000) followed, with rates 141% above the UK average, pointing to persistent issues with property-related offences. Anti-social behaviour (7 cases, 1.4 per 1,000) was the only category below the UK average, though by a narrow margin (1% below). Seasonal factors may play a role in these patterns: June marks the start of summer, with longer evenings increasing opportunities for violent or disorderly conduct. However, the absence of a clear seasonal spike in property crime suggests other drivers, such as local economic conditions or community-specific vulnerabilities, may be at work. The area's relatively high violent crime rate contrasts with its moderate population size (5,102 residents), indicating a need for targeted interventions addressing root causes rather than merely reactive measures.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime types, with three categories increasing by 100% compared to May: possession of weapons (from 0 to 1), public order offences (from 2 to 4), and burglary (from 0 to 2). These sharp rises in specific categories — particularly the sudden emergence of weapon possession — warrant careful monitoring. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 58.8% (from 17 to 7), and shoplifting decreased by 25% (from 4 to 3), suggesting some local initiatives or seasonal factors may have temporarily curbed these issues. The violent crime category (5.5 per 1,000) remained high, with rates 92% above the UK average. This imbalance between violent and property crime (28 vs 20 total incidents) contrasts with the UK average, where property crime typically dominates. Shoplifting rates in Denaby Main were 5% below the UK average (0.6 vs 0.6 per 1,000), a minor but consistent deviation. Residents may find the 25% drop in shoplifting useful, as it indicates potential success in retail security measures or community engagement efforts. However, the 141% increase in criminal damage and arson (1.4 vs 0.6 per 1,000) remains a pressing concern, suggesting targeted interventions may be needed in areas prone to such offences.

Denaby Main's crime rate in June 2025 (12.0 per 1,000) marked a 7.6% decrease from the previous month's 12.9 per 1,000, though it still far exceeds the UK average. Locally, this translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day — a figure that, while seemingly low in absolute terms, represents a significant burden for a community of 5,102 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 84 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. When scaled to the area's size, this suggests crime is more concentrated than in many comparable regions. The previous month's rate (12.9) was marginally higher, indicating some short-term fluctuation but no major reversal in trends. The daily crime count (2 per day) aligns with the area's built-up nature, where higher population density and limited open space may contribute to increased visibility of crime. However, the 48.1% gap from the UK average remains stark, reflecting systemic issues that persist beyond month-to-month variations. For residents, this means a higher likelihood of encountering crime compared to the national average, necessitating ongoing vigilance and community-based solutions.
