New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

New Rossington and Rossington, a built-up area within Doncaster, recorded a crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, marking a 26.7% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure, the lowest in the area's recent monthly records, reflects a combination of seasonal factors and local dynamics. The month saw violence and sexual offences account for 48.3% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (14.9%) and public order offences (8.1%). This violent crime predominance contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate, suggesting a unique local profile influenced by the area's mix of residential and commercial spaces. July's peak summer conditions—schools out, festivals, and extended daylight—may have contributed to the lower overall crime rate, though the high proportion of violent offences indicates ongoing challenges in community safety. The area's lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (42% below UK norms) and burglary (63% below UK norms) suggest effective local initiatives or environmental factors, though these require further analysis to confirm. The data also highlights a stark seasonal contrast: while public order offences surged by 250% month-on-month, this increase may be linked to the heightened activity associated with summer festivals and events. The overall crime reduction, however, underscores a positive trend that warrants continued monitoring to understand its drivers.

July 2025 witnessed significant reductions in several crime categories, including criminal damage and arson (-54.5% from June), possession of weapons (-50.0%), and other crime (-25.0%). These decreases align with the area's 26.7% below the UK average, particularly notable in anti-social behaviour (42% below UK norms) and burglary (63% below UK norms). The most striking month-on-month decline was in criminal damage and arson, which dropped from 11 to 5 incidents, possibly reflecting increased community engagement during summer events or improved local policing efforts. Conversely, public order offences surged by 250%, rising from 2 to 7 cases—a sharp increase that may relate to the influx of visitors during July festivals and the associated challenges of managing large gatherings. Bicycle theft also doubled (from 0 to 2 cases), tied to increased cycling during warmer weather, while drugs offences rose by 100% (from 0 to 1 case), though this remains an isolated data point. The violent crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents, 1% below the UK average, highlights a persistent focus on addressing interpersonal conflicts in the area, despite the overall crime reduction. Residents might find the 63% lower burglary rate compared to the UK average particularly reassuring, suggesting that the area's security measures or property design are effective in deterring such crimes.

The July 2025 crime rate of 6.3 per 1,000 residents represents a 13.0% increase from the previous month's rate of 5.5 per 1,000. This monthly rise, however, remains well below the UK average and underscores the area's continued performance relative to national trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day in July, a figure that, while modest, reflects the active nature of the built-up area during peak summer conditions. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 160 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than many comparable urban centres. This statistic, when contextualised with the area's population of 13,908, illustrates a relatively low level of risk for residents, despite the increase in public order offences. The comparison to the UK average reveals a consistent pattern of below-average performance in categories such as anti-social behaviour, burglary, and shoplifting, which may be attributed to the area's specific characteristics—such as its compact layout, community-focused initiatives, or the presence of local amenities that discourage antisocial activity. While the 13.0% monthly rise is notable, it is tempered by the broader context of sustained below-average crime rates, suggesting that the area's overall safety profile remains robust despite short-term fluctuations.
