Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

March 2025 saw Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe record a crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000, placing the area 26.9% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This relatively low rate is consistent with the area’s character as a built-up district within Doncaster, where community cohesion and local policing may contribute to sustained safety. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 35.9% of all reported incidents, though this category remained 23% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences, while less frequent, emerged as notable concerns, with the latter’s rate at 0.5 per 1,000—slightly below the UK average. Seasonal factors in March, such as the transition to spring and the lengthening of evenings, may have influenced patterns, increasing opportunities for public order incidents. The area’s drug-related crime rate of 0.5 per 1,000, 85% above the UK average, suggests localized challenges that warrant attention. Despite these pockets of concern, the overall crime profile remains markedly safer than national benchmarks, a trend likely supported by the area’s lower population density and community-focused policing efforts.

The most striking change in March 2025 was the 700% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 1 to 8 incidents. This spike, paired with a 400% rise in public order offences (from 1 to 5), underscores a notable shift in community dynamics. These categories now account for 12.5% and 7.8% of total crimes, respectively, marking a significant departure from previous months. Conversely, burglary and vehicle crime both declined—burglary dropped 45.5% (from 11 to 6) and vehicle crime fell 28.6% (from 7 to 5)—suggesting a temporary reduction in property-related offences. The area’s burglary rate of 0.5 per 1,000 is 79% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000, highlighting a specific vulnerability in residential security. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 35.9% of all crimes, though they were 23% below the UK average. Residents may find the 700% surge in anti-social behaviour particularly concerning, as it indicates a rapid escalation in disruptive incidents.

Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe’s crime rate in March 2025 rose 23.1% from the previous month’s 4.6 per 1,000 to 5.7 per 1,000. This increase, though modest in absolute terms, reflects a shift in crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 2 crimes per day in March—a figure that, while low, highlights the persistent presence of crime in a built-up area within Doncaster. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 175 residents, a monthly aggregate that contextualises the exposure for local households. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000, placing the area well below national trends. The population-scaled perspective shows that, despite the rise, the area remains relatively safe compared to broader UK standards. The shift in crime types—from decreases in burglary and vehicle crime to spikes in anti-social behaviour—suggests evolving local dynamics that may be influenced by seasonal or community-specific factors.
