Sprotbrough Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Sprotbrough's overall crime rate in September 2025 stood at 3.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 50% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. The most prevalent crime type was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 35.7% of all reported incidents, followed by public order offences (14.3%) and violence and sexual offences (14.3%). This pattern aligns with the area's built-up nature within Doncaster, where community dynamics and seasonal rhythms—such as the return to school and university freshers' week—may influence local crime trends. The lower-than-average rates for violent crimes and property-related offences suggest a generally secure environment, though the surge in anti-social behaviour highlights a seasonal spike in disturbances. September, as a transitional month, likely sees shifts in activity levels, with evenings drawing in and students returning to the area, which may contribute to increased incidents of anti-social behaviour. The data also indicates a consistent trend of property crime being less common than violent crime, a balance that could reflect the area's character as a mix of residential and commercial spaces with limited high-risk zones.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from four to ten incidents. This spike, coupled with a 100% rise in public order offences and drugs-related crimes, contrasts sharply with the 66.7% declines in burglary, criminal damage, and other theft. The area's violent crime rate—0.5 per 1,000—remains 81% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, underscoring a continued safety advantage in this category. Anti-social behaviour, now the most common crime type (35.7% of total), exceeds the UK average by 11%, suggesting a localised pressure point tied to seasonal factors such as back-to-school activities and university freshers' week. Residents may find the 100% increase in drugs-related crimes particularly noteworthy, as it indicates a shift in criminal activity that could warrant local awareness campaigns or targeted policing.

Sprotbrough's crime rate in September 2025 fell to 3.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 33.5% decline from the previous month's rate of 5.6 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with a broader trend of seasonal moderation, as the summer's heightened activity wanes. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 270 residents—a figure that contextualises the low overall rate against the area's population. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported each day, a consistent but manageable frequency. When compared to the UK average, Sprotbrough's rate remains significantly lower, reflecting a combination of local policing strategies and the built-up area's character, which may include a mix of residential and commercial spaces with limited high-risk zones. The drop in burglary and criminal damage—both down 66.7%—suggests a possible seasonal factor, such as reduced outdoor activity or targeted community efforts during the transition from summer to autumn.
