New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in New Rossington and Rossington, 8.6 crimes were reported in September 2023, placing the area 7.5% above the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This rate translates to a 0.86% chance of an individual being directly affected by crime in a given year, though seasonal factors may alter this likelihood month-to-month. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime picture, accounting for 40% of all reported incidents, followed by criminal damage and arson at 16.7%. These figures align with the area’s small urban character, where community spaces and local amenities may heighten exposure to interpersonal disputes and property-related crimes. September, a transitional month marked by the return to school and university freshers, may have influenced patterns—higher foot traffic in residential areas could contribute to increased anti-social behaviour, while the onset of colder weather might shift outdoor activity to indoor venues, amplifying violence. However, direct links between seasonal changes and specific crime types, as local rhythms remain complex. The area’s crime profile contrasts sharply with the UK average for certain categories: violence and sexual offences are 28% higher than the national rate, and criminal damage and arson are 133% above, suggesting unique community dynamics or unmet policing needs. These findings underscore the importance of localized analysis, as national averages may obscure area-specific challenges.

September 2023 saw stark shifts in crime patterns, with criminal damage and arson surging by 185.7% compared to the previous month, rising from 7 to 20 incidents. This spike, though unexplained by the data, may reflect seasonal pressures such as increased community events or delayed maintenance work in public spaces. Concurrently, drug-related offences doubled, with 4 reported cases—up from 0 in August—highlighting a potential new trend warranting closer attention. Possession of weapons also increased by 100%, with one incident recorded, though this remains a single data point. Conversely, burglary plummeted by 87.5%, dropping from 8 to 1, possibly due to heightened community vigilance or improved lighting in key areas. Shoplifting also decreased by 33.3%, from 9 to 6 cases, which could indicate seasonal retail strategies or altered consumer behaviour during back-to-school preparations. Violence and sexual offences fell by 12.7%, from 55 to 48, though this remains within the area’s elevated UK average. These fluctuations illustrate the volatility of crime data and the need for ongoing monitoring. Residents may find the 1-in-116 monthly exposure rate particularly relevant, as it contextualizes the likelihood of encountering crime in a given month, though this figure does not account for unreported incidents.

The crime rate in September 2023 (8.6 per 1,000) marked a 3.5% increase from the previous month’s rate of 8.3, reflecting a slight upward trend in local crime dynamics. Daily, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a small urban environment. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 116 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when considered alongside the area’s population of 13,908, highlights the relatively concentrated nature of crime in New Rossington and Rossington. This rate is higher than the UK average when comparing specific categories: for instance, violence and sexual offences are 28% above the national rate, and criminal damage and arson are 133% higher. However, other categories such as anti-social behaviour are 10% below the UK average, suggesting pockets of community resilience. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is slightly elevated, the distribution of crime types indicates uneven challenges. For a resident, this means a higher risk of encountering violence or property damage compared to the UK average, but a lower risk of anti-social behaviour. These comparisons, though informative, should be interpreted with care, as they reflect aggregated national data that may not fully capture local nuances.
