New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate October 2023 | Monthly Statistics

New Rossington and Rossington’s crime profile in October 2023 reveals a combination of local and national trends, with 109 crimes reported across a population of 13,908 residents. This equates to a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000, placing the area 2.5% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 46.8% of all reported crimes at a rate of 3.7 per 1,000. This figure is 37% higher than the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to the area’s built-up nature and the presence of high-traffic zones. Criminal damage and arson followed closely, contributing 11.0% of total crimes at a rate of 0.9 per 1,000—43% above the UK average. These spikes could reflect seasonal factors, such as the transition into darker evenings and the timing of Halloween, which may encourage vandalism or disorderly conduct. Conversely, anti-social behaviour occurred at a rate of 0.7 per 1,000, 45% below the UK average, suggesting that local efforts to manage community tensions or environmental design may be effective. The seasonal context of October, with clocks going back and shorter daylight hours, likely influences crime patterns. Overall, the area’s crime profile indicates a need for targeted interventions in violent crime and property damage, while its lower-than-average rates of anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime suggest that certain preventative measures may be working.

October 2023 saw a 200% increase in burglary, with three incidents reported compared to one in September. Bicycle theft and theft from the person each doubled, rising from zero to two cases. These spikes contrast with significant declines in other categories: vehicle crime fell by 55.6%, and drug-related offences dropped by 50%. Violence and sexual offences remained a major concern, occurring at a rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents—37% above the UK average. This category alone accounted for 46.8% of all crimes, highlighting a persistent challenge in the area. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell 45% below the UK average, suggesting local initiatives or environmental factors may be mitigating such incidents. For residents, the sharp rise in burglary and theft from the person underscores the need for heightened vigilance, particularly in areas where these crimes are concentrated.

New Rossington and Rossington recorded a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents in October 2023, a 9.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.6 per 1,000. This drop positions the area as 2.5% below the UK average, a distinction that reflects broader trends in crime reduction. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately 4 crimes reported each day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the consistent presence of criminal activity in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population of 13,908, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 128 residents. This ratio provides a tangible sense of the area’s crime footprint, though such statistics do not capture the full spectrum of incidents, including those unreported or unrecorded. The reduction in overall crime may be partially attributed to seasonal factors, such as shorter evenings and the winding down of Halloween-related activities.
