New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

New Rossington and Rossington's crime rate of 6.0 per 1,000 residents in January 2025 places it 15.5% below the UK average of 7.1. This performance contrasts with national trends, where the area's violent crime rate (2.7 per 1,000) exceeds the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.5 per 1,000) by 8%, while anti-social behaviour (0.7 per 1,000) is 29% below the UK average. The crime profile reflects a suburban built-up area within Doncaster, where seasonal factors likely influence patterns: January's post-holiday period, reduced retail footfall, and shorter days may partly explain lower property crime rates compared to busier months. Violent crimes accounted for 45.8% of total incidents, driven by a significant share of violence and sexual offences, which may be linked to local social dynamics or community-specific pressures. Other crime (0.6 per 1,000) and vehicle crime (0.6 per 1,000) both exceed UK averages, suggesting niche vulnerabilities such as unregulated commercial activity or parking infrastructure challenges. This month's data aligns with broader patterns in similar commuter-oriented suburbs, where community cohesion and local policing efforts may temper crime rates despite higher-than-average violent incidents.

January 2025 saw dramatic shifts in crime types, with shoplifting surging by 300% (1 to 4 incidents) and other crime rising by 166.7% (3 to 8). These increases contrast sharply with declines in criminal damage and arson (-64.3%, 14 to 5) and anti-social behaviour (-50%, 18 to 9). The violent crime share of total incidents (45.8%) remained high, with violence and sexual offences outpacing the UK average by 8%. This category's dominance may reflect local factors such as the area's role as a commuter hub, where transient populations could contribute to higher interpersonal crime rates. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by 50% (6 to 3), linked to reduced foot traffic during January's post-holiday lull. For residents, the 300% rise in shoplifting—now 4 incidents in January—highlights a specific risk requiring retailer vigilance. The spike in 'other crime' (8 incidents) also suggests unclassified or emerging issues warranting further investigation by local authorities.

Compared to December 2024's rate of 7.1 per 1,000, January 2025's crime rate dropped by 15.3%, reflecting a marked improvement. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 3 crimes per day in January, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 168 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate (1-in-168) is significantly lower than the UK average for similar-sized built-up areas, though it masks variations in specific crime types. For instance, while anti-social behaviour is 29% below the UK average, 'other crime' is 233% above, indicating uneven risk profiles. The population context—13,908 residents—suggests that the area's relatively low overall rate is maintained through a combination of effective policing, community engagement, and the suburban character of the built-up area, which may inherently limit opportunities for certain crimes. However, the 46% above-average vehicle crime rate and 100% above-average bicycle theft rate highlight infrastructure-specific vulnerabilities, such as parking density or cycling infrastructure gaps, that could benefit from targeted improvements.
