Finningley Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Finningley's crime rate in March 2023 stood at 1.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 76.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This significant disparity positions the built-up area within Doncaster as one of the safest regions in the country relative to national trends. The crime breakdown reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 27.3% of incidents (3 cases), followed by burglary (18.2%), other theft (18.2%), vehicle crime (18.2%), and 'other crime' (18.2%). The rate for violence and sexual offences (0.5 per 1,000) was 82% below the UK average, while 'other crime'—which includes unclassified incidents—was 100% above the UK average (0.1 per 1,000). This anomaly suggests potential inconsistencies in categorisation or reporting practices. The transition to spring in March, with longer evenings and the clocks changing, may have influenced patterns, though the overall low crime rate suggests that Finningley's environment—whether through community engagement, infrastructure, or policing—likely contributes to its relative safety. The absence of vehicle crime in March, compared to the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, further highlights the area's unique profile. These figures, while illustrative of Finningley's current state, require contextualisation against broader socioeconomic and geographic factors that may shape its crime picture.

March 2023 saw Finningley's violent crime rate (0.5 per 1,000) sit 82% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, reflecting a marked divergence from national trends. The absence of vehicle crime in the month, compared to the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, indicates a unique pattern that may be influenced by local factors such as limited parking or reduced traffic during the transition to spring. The breakdown reveals that 'other crime'—which includes unclassified incidents—was 100% above the UK average (0.1 per 1,000), suggesting potential gaps in categorisation or underreporting of specific offences. These findings highlight the importance of contextualising local data against national benchmarks, as Finningley's profile demonstrates both strengths and anomalies in its crime profile.

In March 2023, Finningley recorded an average of 0 crimes per day across its 6,083 residents, reflecting a daily crime count that is effectively zero. This figure highlights the exceptionally low frequency of incidents in the area compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 553 residents, illustrating a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than the UK average. When scaled to the population, this equates to a crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents, which is 76.3% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the relative safety of Finningley compared to the broader UK context, though the absence of previous month data limits direct comparisons to prior periods. The low crime density suggests that the built-up area within Doncaster may benefit from factors such as community cohesion, effective local policing, or environmental characteristics that deter criminal activity.
