Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe, 5.3 crimes were reported in September 2025, placing the area 28.4% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of roughly 2 crimes per day for residents, with one reported crime occurring for every 190 residents over the course of the month. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 35.6% of all crimes reported—26% below the UK average for this category. This is consistent with patterns seen in built-up areas within Doncaster, where seasonal transitions like the start of the academic year in September may contribute to fluctuations in violent crime. Property crimes, including burglary and vehicle crime, made up 27.9% of the total, though burglary rates here were higher than the UK average, likely reflecting the area’s mixed-use residential and commercial properties. The seasonal context of September—back to school and university freshers—may have influenced the crime profile, with anti-social behaviour and shoplifting rates declining by 40% and 66.7% respectively, due to increased community activity and vigilance. However, the rise in criminal damage and arson by 100% suggests a need for targeted interventions in public spaces.

September 2025 saw a 7.3% increase in the overall crime rate compared to August, with the most significant month-on-month change being a 100% rise in criminal damage and arson cases, from 2 to 4. This surge, coupled with a 100% increase in other crime and robbery, highlights a shift in the nature of incidents reported. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour decreased by 66.7%, potentially linked to the return of students and staff to local institutions, which may have increased community presence and deterred such activity. The area’s burglary rate was 114% above the UK average, with 7 cases reported—equivalent to 0.6 per 1,000 residents. This is likely driven by the area’s mix of older residential properties and small commercial premises, which may present vulnerabilities for opportunistic thieves. Conversely, shoplifting rates fell by 40%, with 3 cases recorded—51% below the UK average, a trend that may be influenced by increased staffing in retail outlets during the autumn term. Vehicle crime also decreased by 25%, from 8 to 6, due to reduced overnight parking in local streets as the weather turned cooler.

The crime rate in Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe rose by 7.3% from August 2025, moving from 4.9 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is modest, it underscores the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day in September, a figure that, while low, reflects the persistent presence of crime in a built-up area within Doncaster. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 190 residents, a ratio that is significantly lower than the UK average when scaled to the local population. This suggests that residents in Kirk Sandall and Edenthorpe face a lower risk of being directly affected by crime compared to the national average. However, the disparity in specific crime types—such as burglary and vehicle crime—reveals areas where local conditions may differ from broader trends. The population of 11,226 means that even small increases in crime rates can have measurable impacts on community safety, necessitating targeted policing and community engagement strategies to address the most pressing issues.
