New Rossington and Rossington Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

New Rossington and Rossington’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 7.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area just 1.3% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, though narrowly above the national benchmark, reflects a combination of local and seasonal factors. The area’s crime profile is dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 39.8% of all reported incidents (43 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (19.4%, 21 cases). These two categories are above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences 17% higher and anti-social behaviour 19% higher. This pattern may be influenced by the area’s built-up character, where population density and proximity to urban centres could contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. Public order offences (6.5%, 7 cases) are 6% below the UK average, a contrast that might be attributed to local initiatives or policing strategies. Seasonal factors, such as the clocks going back and shorter daylight hours, may have amplified tensions in communal spaces, particularly as Halloween approached. Meanwhile, shoplifting, which rose sharply month-on-month, remains 37% below the UK average, suggesting that local retail environments or community engagement efforts may be mitigating such crimes. The overall crime rate, while slightly elevated, underscores the need for targeted interventions in violent and anti-social crime categories, which are impacting the area compared to national trends.

October 2025 saw a 400% increase in shoplifting, with incidents rising from 1 to 5. This surge, though still 37% below the UK average, may reflect seasonal factors such as Halloween or increased retail activity. Anti-social behaviour also jumped 133% month-on-month, from 9 to 21, suggesting heightened tensions during the transition to darker evenings. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 66.7%, dropping from 12 to 4—a shift that could be linked to reduced daylight hours deterring outdoor crimes. The area’s violent crime rate, at 3.1 per 1,000, is 17% above the UK average, highlighting a need for targeted interventions in high-risk zones. Burglary rose 200% to 6 incidents, a figure that is 33% above the UK average. This spike may be tied to increased home occupancy during the month or vulnerabilities in local security measures.

In October 2025, New Rossington and Rossington recorded a crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.5% increase from the previous month’s rate of 6.6. This rise places the area slightly above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly 3 reported crimes per day across the built-up area’s 13,908 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 129 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for households. The population-scaled perspective reveals that while the overall rate is marginally higher than the UK average, the distribution of crime types shows stark contrasts. For instance, violence and sexual offences are 17% above the UK average, while shoplifting is 37% below. These variations suggest local factors—such as community engagement or policing strategies—may be influencing specific crime categories. The 1-in-129 residents figure, though seemingly high, must be weighed against the area’s demographic and geographic characteristics, which differ from broader UK trends.
