Mexborough's November 2023 crime statistics reveal a complex picture shaped by both local dynamics and seasonal factors.

Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also feature prominently, contributing 17.8% and 12.3% respectively.

The breakdown shows that property crimes make up a smaller share (28.8%) than violent crimes, suggesting a shift in the crime mix compared to other months.

The interplay between urban density, seasonal events, and demographic factors will require further analysis to fully understand the underlying causes of Mexborough's crime profile.
