Stainforth Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Stainforth’s crime rate in June 2024 stood at 13.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 64.6% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure reflects a combination of local factors, including the area’s position within Doncaster’s built-up zones and the seasonal dynamics of summer. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (34 cases, 41% of total), anti-social behaviour (18 cases, 21.7%), and public order offences (9 cases, 10.8%), all of which significantly exceed national benchmarks. The sharp increase in anti-social behaviour (up 20% from May) and the 100% rise in possession of weapons suggest challenges in managing public spaces during the summer months. However, the decline in vehicle crime (down 61.1%) and violence and sexual offences (down 19%) indicates progress in addressing certain issues. June, as the start of summer, likely influenced these trends through increased foot traffic, extended daylight hours, and the beginning of tourist activity in nearby areas, though Stainforth itself is not a major tourist destination. The elevated rates of violent crime and anti-social behaviour contrast with the UK average, pointing to a need for targeted strategies in high-risk areas. The overall crime rate, while improved from May, remains a cause for concern, particularly given the disproportionate impact of violent and public order offences on the local community.

June 2024 saw a significant 61.1% drop in vehicle crime, from 18 to 7 incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in parking patterns or increased police visibility. Violence and sexual offences also decreased by 19%, from 42 to 34 cases, though this category remains 99% above the UK average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour rose by 20%, increasing from 15 to 18 incidents, suggesting heightened tensions in public spaces during the summer months. Possession of weapons saw a 100% increase, with one incident reported in June compared to none in May, a statistic that warrants attention given its proximity to the UK average. These fluctuations illustrate the dynamic nature of crime in Stainforth, where targeted interventions may have contributed to declines in some areas while others remain under pressure.

Stainforth's crime rate in June 2024 fell by 28.5% compared to May 2024, dropping from 18.9 to 13.5 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as June marks the start of summer when local activity shifts outdoors. Locally, 3 crimes were reported per day on average, though this figure does not capture the full context of community engagement or police presence. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 74 residents, a statistic that highlights the relative frequency of incidents in a small built-up area. When scaled to Stainforth’s population of 6,134, this suggests that while crime remains elevated compared to the UK average, the reduction from May indicates progress in addressing local concerns. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of experiencing crime than the national average, though the month-on-month improvement offers a positive trend to consider.
