Tickhill Crime Rate December 2023 | Monthly Statistics

December 2023 marked a period of relative stability in Tickhill's crime profile, with an overall crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents—36.1% below the UK average of 7.2 per 1,000. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 33.3% of all recorded incidents, followed by vehicle crime (25.0%) and anti-social behaviour (16.7%). This distribution suggests a balance between personal safety concerns and property-related issues, though the area's performance in violent crime remains better than the UK average. Seasonal factors likely influenced the crime profile: the Christmas shopping peak and extended dark evenings may have contributed to a modest rise in shoplifting (up 100% month-on-month), while the reduced foot traffic in commercial areas could explain the 14.3% drop in vehicle crime. Anti-social behaviour also increased by 33.3%, a trend that may reflect the social dynamics of a smaller built-up area during the holiday season. The absence of significant spikes in burglary or theft from the person aligns with the area's lower population density and limited tourist activity, factors that distinguish Tickhill from more densely populated urban centres. These patterns underscore the importance of contextualising crime data against local geography and seasonal rhythms, rather than relying solely on aggregate figures.

December 2023 saw a dramatic 200% increase in burglary cases, rising from one to three incidents. This sharp rise contrasts with a 14.3% decline in vehicle crime, which fell from seven to six cases. The shift in crime mix is noteworthy: while violent crimes decreased by 11.1% (from nine to eight), property crimes accounted for 50% of all recorded incidents. Violence and sexual offences remained 43% below the UK average (1.5 vs 2.6 per 1,000), a consistent trend that may partly reflect the area's lower population density and reduced nightlife activity. Residents might find the 100% increase in shoplifting particularly relevant, as it aligns with the Christmas shopping peak. Meanwhile, vehicle crime's 144% above the UK average (1.1 vs 0.5 per 1,000) underscores a specific vulnerability in this category.

Tickhill's crime rate in December 2023 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, marking a 14.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.3 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as December typically sees reduced foot traffic in retail and commercial areas. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall crime rate. When viewed through the lens of population, the monthly exposure to crime was 1 reported incident for every 220 residents, a statistic that contextualises the safety profile of Tickhill compared to larger urban centres. This monthly aggregate highlights the area's consistent performance in maintaining a lower crime rate than the UK average, though fluctuations in specific crime categories suggest the need for ongoing monitoring of local dynamics.
