Tickhill Crime Rate October 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s October 2023 crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents places it 57.5% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This built-up area within Doncaster maintains a consistently low crime profile compared to national benchmarks, reflecting a combination of community factors and local dynamics. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (22.2%) and other theft (16.7%). These figures suggest a balance between interpersonal incidents and property-related crimes, with no single category dominating the overall picture. The seasonal context of October—marked by shorter days, the clocks going back, and Halloween—may partly explain patterns in violent crime. Anti-social behaviour, which rose sharply in October, could reflect increased social activity during the month, while the relatively low rates of vehicle crime and criminal damage indicate stable environmental conditions. Tickhill’s position as a smaller built-up area within a larger urban district may contribute to its distinct crime profile, where community cohesion and local policing efforts appear to mitigate risks that are more prevalent in larger cities. The data also highlights the importance of seasonal transitions in shaping crime trends, with October’s darker evenings influencing both victim behaviour and police visibility. While the overall rate remains well below national averages, the persistence of violence and sexual offences underscores the need for targeted interventions in this area.

October 2023 saw dramatic shifts in Tickhill’s crime profile, with anti-social behaviour surging by 300% compared to September, jumping from one incident to four. This increase, though significant, remains 38% below the UK average for the same category. Robbery and other crime both rose by 100%, marking their first recorded instances in the month. These spikes, however, are offset by notable declines in vehicle crime (-50%) and criminal damage and arson (-50%), suggesting a possible reallocation of criminal activity. The category of violence and sexual offences, while still the most common type (33.3% of total crimes), remains 59% below the UK average, illustrating Tickhill’s continued divergence from national trends. The contrast between rising anti-social behaviour and falling vehicle crime may indicate shifting priorities among offenders, with public spaces becoming more vulnerable during October’s transitional weather. For residents, the most immediate concern appears to be the sharp increase in anti-social behaviour, which could signal a need for enhanced community engagement or increased police presence in local hotspots. The data also reveals that other theft remains just 3% below the UK average, highlighting a narrow gap in this category despite overall low rates. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, which can be influenced by both seasonal factors and community-specific variables.

Tickhill’s October 2023 crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 14.3% decrease from September’s rate of 4.0 per 1,000, indicating a sustained downward trend over recent months. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in October, a figure that, while low, may raise awareness among residents about the potential for incidents in densely populated areas. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 293 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than many comparable urban areas. This statistic, when contextualised with Tickhill’s population of 5,277, suggests that the local community experiences far fewer incidents than the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be roughly one in 125 residents. The comparison also highlights the area’s resilience to crime, with rates that have remained consistently below national benchmarks for years. While the daily crime count may seem trivial, it serves as a reminder that even small numbers can have local impacts, particularly in smaller built-up areas where social networks are tight and incidents are more visible. The 14.3% month-on-month decline further reinforces the notion that Tickhill’s crime prevention strategies—whether through policing, community engagement, or environmental design—are yielding tangible results. However, the low rate also means that any increase, such as the 300% jump in anti-social behaviour, can feel more pronounced to residents, underscoring the need for continued vigilance and adaptive approaches to crime management.
