Tickhill Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill's crime rate in April 2023 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, marking a significant 21.3% improvement over the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This performance reflects a combination of effective local policing and the area's inherent characteristics as a built-up district within Doncaster, where crime patterns often align with smaller urban centres. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 25.8% of all reported crimes, a proportion lower than the UK average for this category. This may be attributed to Tickhill's relatively low population density and limited commercial activity compared to larger cities, which reduces opportunities for certain types of violent crime. Seasonal factors also played a role: the Easter period and spring weather likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which can both deter and, in some cases, escalate crime depending on the context. Property crimes, however, made up the majority of incidents, with burglary and criminal damage and arson showing particular spikes. These trends may be influenced by the area's housing stock and the presence of communal spaces that could be targeted during periods of heightened social interaction. The overall crime picture illustrates a delicate balance between proactive community engagement and the challenges posed by specific crime types that require targeted interventions.

April 2023 saw sharp increases in criminal damage and arson (+300%), shoplifting (+100%), and burglary (+100%), though vehicle crime fell by 20%. These shifts reflect a notable imbalance in the crime mix, with property crimes making up 55% of total incidents compared to 25.8% for violence and sexual offences. Burglary, at 0.8 per 1,000, was 167% above the UK average, suggesting localized vulnerabilities in residential security. Conversely, violence and sexual offences were 42% below the UK rate, potentially linked to Tickhill's lower population density and fewer public spaces compared to larger urban areas. A resident might note that while overall crime remains low, the spike in property-related offences highlights the need for enhanced community vigilance in specific sectors.

Tickhill's crime rate in April 2023 rose by 47.5% compared to March's 4.0 per 1,000, reaching 5.9 per 1,000. While this increase is notable, the area remains 21.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day across the month, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with Tickhill's built-up area status. Over the course of April, one crime occurred for every 170 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. This monthly aggregate highlights that while individual incidents are relatively infrequent, specific crime categories—such as burglary and criminal damage—experienced sharp month-on-month increases. The population context further underscores that Tickhill's crime profile, though modest overall, requires targeted attention to emerging trends in certain categories.
