New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

A sharp rise in bicycle theft marked November 2024 in New Rossington and Rossington, a built-up area within Doncaster, as the crime rate stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents—10.5% below the UK average of 7.6. This unexpected spike in bicycle theft, which moved from zero to one reported incident, contrasts with broader trends showing reduced vehicle crime and drug-related offences. The area’s crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences (40 incidents, 42.6% of total), anti-social behaviour (21 incidents, 22.3%), and other theft (9 incidents, 9.6%). These figures, while lower than the UK average for several categories, highlight the combination of local factors. November’s seasonal context—dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—may partly explain the persistence of anti-social behaviour and violent crime. The area’s relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average suggests effective community policing or demographic factors, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. The surge in bicycle theft, though small in absolute terms, underscores the need for targeted measures in areas with limited bike storage infrastructure.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, with one incident reported—a stark contrast to the previous month’s zero. This jump, while small, raises questions about local vulnerabilities such as inadequate bike parking or heightened theft opportunities during darker evenings. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 75% (12 to 21 incidents), possibly linked to seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, drug-related offences fell by 75% (4 to 1), and vehicle crime dropped by 33.3% (3 to 2), suggesting temporary reductions in certain crime types. The area’s violent crime rate (2.9 per 1,000) was 12% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (1.5 per 1,000) was 35% higher. These disparities highlight the need for tailored interventions. For residents, the daily crime count of three incidents—equivalent to 300 crimes annually—provides a tangible benchmark for safety awareness.

New Rossington and Rossington’s crime rate in November 2024 (6.8 per 1,000) marked a 7.8% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.3, reflecting a continued downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 148 residents—a figure that, while lower than the UK average, underscores the importance of local vigilance. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately three crimes per day, a rate that aligns with typical patterns for similar-sized built-up areas. When compared to the UK average, the area’s violent crime rate (2.9 per 1,000) was 12% higher, but its vehicle crime rate (0.1 per 1,000) was 77% lower. This mix of above- and below-average figures suggests a unique crime profile shaped by local demographics and infrastructure. For instance, the area’s relatively low vehicle crime may be attributed to limited car ownership or robust parking enforcement, while higher anti-social behaviour rates could reflect the impact of seasonal events and local social dynamics.
