New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated New Rossington and Rossington’s crime profile in June 2024, accounting for 50.5% of all reported incidents—over twice the UK average of 27%. This stark outlier underscores a unique local dynamic, possibly linked to the area’s character as a built-up district within Doncaster. The overall crime rate of 6.8 per 1,000 residents placed the area 17.1% below the UK average, a significant deviation that invites closer examination. While property crimes remained relatively low—just 21 incidents compared to 48 violent crimes—the sharp contrast between the two categories highlights a focus on interpersonal crime. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the start of summer, a period typically associated with increased social activity and, in some areas, higher rates of public order offences. However, the area’s crime picture diverges from typical urban patterns, with anti-social behaviour and burglary rates far below national averages. This could reflect a combination of community policing efforts, lower population density, or the influence of local amenities that discourage certain types of crime. The relatively low property crime rate, despite the summer season, may also suggest that the area’s infrastructure—such as secure housing and community engagement—contributes to a safer environment for residents. Nevertheless, the high rate of violence compared to the UK average raises questions about underlying social or economic factors that may require targeted interventions.

June 2024 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from zero to two incidents—a stark contrast to the 84% reduction in shoplifting, which fell from five to two. This shift in crime patterns suggests a potential reallocation of criminal activity, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the start of summer. Public order offences also rose by 10%, reaching 11 cases, a figure 31% above the UK average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 36% compared to the UK average, with only 12 incidents recorded. The sharp decline in shoplifting—despite the summer season—may reflect increased security measures or changing consumer behaviour. For residents, the 100% rise in bicycle theft serves as a concrete reminder to secure personal property during the warmer months. Meanwhile, the overall reduction in property crime—down 52% compared to the UK average—indicates a broader trend of lower risk in this category.

New Rossington and Rossington's crime rate in June 2024 dropped by 29.7% compared to May's 9.7 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a marked improvement in local safety. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day, a figure that, while modest, highlights the need for continued vigilance. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 146 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places the area well below the UK average in terms of frequency. This statistic, when contextualised against the population of 13,908, suggests that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a regular basis. However, the fluctuation in specific crime types—such as the 100% increase in bicycle theft—indicates that targeted issues may require focused attention. The reduction in overall crime, paired with this monthly exposure metric, offers a nuanced view of the area’s safety profile, balancing low-frequency incidents with pockets of concern that warrant further exploration.
