New Rossington and Rossington’s crime rate in August 2023 reached 8.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.5% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure marks a notable departure from the national trend, with violent crimes accounting for 47.4% of all reported incidents—nearly double the proportion of property crimes. Violence and sexual offences (55 cases) dominated the crime profile, a pattern consistent with the area’s demographic profile as a built-up region within Doncaster. The high prevalence of violent crime may be influenced by the area’s proximity to major transport routes and the transient nature of some populations. Seasonal patterns also appear to play a role, with August’s peak holiday period likely contributing to increased burglary risks through the presence of empty homes and reduced household vigilance. This aligns with the 76% increase in burglary rates compared to the UK average, despite a 27.5% decrease from July. The interplay between local dynamics and broader seasonal trends underscores the complexity of crime patterns in this part of Doncaster. While violent crime remains the dominant concern, the sharp decline in shoplifting (from 32 to 9 cases) suggests that targeted interventions or changes in retail security may have had an impact.

August 2023 saw significant month-on-month increases in vehicle crime (+60%) and burglary (+60%), both rising from 5 to 8 incidents. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 41.7%, climbing from 12 to 17 cases.

The violent crime rate in the area is 52% above the UK average, with 55 incidents reported (4.0 per 1,000 residents). This divergence is particularly pronounced in burglary, which is 76% above the UK average. Residents should note that vehicle crime and burglary increases may be linked to seasonal factors, such as empty homes during the summer holiday period. The sharp drop in shoplifting could reflect targeted policing efforts or changes in retail security measures.

The crime rate in New Rossington and Rossington for August 2023 stood at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, a 27.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 11.5 per 1,000.

Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 120 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure to crime for households.
