New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of New Rossington and Rossington in February 2024 reveals a distinct balance between violent and property crimes, shaped by local factors and seasonal influences. With a total crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents—28.2% below the UK average—the area demonstrates a marked contrast to national trends. Violent crimes, including violence and sexual offences, accounted for 35.2% of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average for the category (2.5 per 1,000). This proportion may reflect the area’s demographics or localised incidents, such as conflicts in public spaces or community-specific challenges. Anti-social behaviour, the second-most common category at 25.4%, highlights a recurring issue that, while lower than the UK average, still demands attention. The relatively low property crime rate, particularly in categories like burglary (1.4% of total incidents) and shoplifting (2.8%), suggests that the area’s built-up nature within Doncaster may reduce opportunities for such crimes. Seasonally, February—a winter month with low outdoor activity—may contribute to the subdued levels of property crime, though the higher proportion of violent incidents could be influenced by factors such as increased indoor gatherings or social interactions. The area’s crime mix thus illustrates a combination of localised challenges and broader seasonal patterns, warranting further analysis to understand the underlying drivers.

February 2024 witnessed notable shifts in crime patterns, including an 80% increase in anti-social behaviour, which rose from 10 to 18 incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average for the category, suggests a potential spike in local tensions or unmet community needs. Conversely, burglary dropped by 80% (from 5 to 1), a decline that may reflect improved home security measures or targeted policing efforts. The rise in drug-related offences—doubling from zero to one incident—highlights a new concern. Anti-social behaviour, now the second-most common crime type at 25.4% of total incidents, contrasts with the UK average, which is 24% lower for the same category. This divergence could indicate a unique local context, such as community-specific challenges or underreporting in other areas. For residents, the 80% increase in anti-social behaviour may signal a need for community engagement initiatives or additional support services.

The crime rate in New Rossington and Rossington for February 2024 stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, marking a 27.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 7.1 per 1,000. This decline suggests a potential shift in local dynamics or seasonal influences, though further data would be needed to confirm trends. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly two crimes reported per day over the 29-day month, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 196 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of crime compared to the UK average. When scaled to the local population of 13,908, this translates to a monthly exposure rate that is significantly below national benchmarks. The reduction in crime from January to February may reflect seasonal patterns, such as reduced outdoor activity during colder months. The population context also underscores the area’s lower crime density, which could be attributed to factors like community cohesion or local policing strategies.
