Stainforth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Stainforth’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 19.7 per 1,000, a figure 143.2% higher than the UK average of 8.1. This marked disparity underscores the area’s unique challenges, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour dominating the landscape. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.2% of all reported crimes, driven by a rate of 8.3 per 1,000—190% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, with 3.4 per 1,000 incidents, 139% above the national figure. These patterns may be linked to the area’s built-up nature within Doncaster, where higher population density and limited public amenities could contribute to tensions. Seasonal factors also likely play a role, as June marks the beginning of summer, a period when increased foot traffic and outdoor activities may amplify conflicts in shared spaces. However, not all trends point upward: shoplifting and other theft saw notable declines, reflecting improved retail security measures or reduced opportunities during the summer months. The overall crime rate, though elevated, reveals a mix of local-specific issues and broader national trends, with violent crime remaining a persistent concern. This snapshot highlights the need for targeted strategies to address high-impact offences while building on areas of improvement, such as the drop in property-related crimes.

June 2025 saw significant decreases in shoplifting and other theft, with shoplifting falling by 66.7% and other theft declining by 62.5% compared to the previous month. These reductions may reflect seasonal changes, such as the start of summer holidays deterring opportunistic theft or increased police presence in retail areas. Conversely, violent crime and anti-social behaviour surged, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 42.2% of all crimes—8.3 per 1,000, 190% above the UK average. This stark divergence from national trends suggests unique local challenges, potentially tied to the area’s built-up character and limited public spaces for community engagement. Other crime—a category encompassing fraud, cybercrime, and other non-specific offences—rose 200% month-on-month, from three to nine incidents. This spike could indicate underreported issues or shifts in criminal activity patterns. The contrast between declining property crimes and rising violent incidents highlights a combination of factors, including the area’s demographics and seasonal rhythms.

Stainforth’s crime rate rose to 19.7 per 1,000 in June 2025, a 27.4% increase from the previous month’s 15.5. This places the area significantly above the UK average, with violent crime rates 190% higher than the national figure. Locally, this means that over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 51 residents—a stark contrast to the UK’s broader statistical context. Daily crime counts reveal an average of four incidents per day, underscoring the persistent presence of crime in everyday life. While the population of 6,134 may suggest a relatively small community, the high rate of violent and anti-social offences indicates a need for targeted local interventions. The 27.4% monthly increase, though not unprecedented, highlights a troubling upward trend that could be linked to seasonal factors or shifts in community dynamics. The area’s built-up nature within Doncaster may contribute to higher concentrations of crime, particularly in public spaces, but further analysis is required to pinpoint exact causes.
