Tickhill Crime Rate September 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime rate in September 2023 remained well below the UK average, standing at 4.0 per 1,000 residents—50% lower than the national figure of 8.0. This continued safety, despite the month’s seasonal transitions, may be attributed to a combination of local factors, including limited nightlife, strong community policing, or the area’s built-up nature, which could reduce opportunities for certain crimes. The most common offences were property crimes (12 incidents), followed by violent crimes (6 incidents), with violence and sexual offences at 1.1 per 1,000 residents. This rate is 60% below the UK average, a trend consistent with the area’s likely demographics and geography. Seasonal changes, such as the return to school and the start of the academic year, may have contributed to the crime profile, with reduced opportunities for anti-social behaviour and public order offences. However, the sharp increase in drug-related offences—rising from zero to one incident—suggests a potential area for local monitoring. The breakdown also shows that other theft and vehicle crime rates are 67% above the UK average, linked to the area’s proximity to transport networks or local retail activity. These figures, while modest in absolute terms, highlight the combination of local conditions and national trends in shaping Tickhill’s crime picture.

September 2023 saw significant reductions in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour decreasing by 80% (from 5 to 1 incidents) and vehicle crime dropping by 66.7% (from 12 to 4). These declines may reflect the impact of seasonal changes, such as the start of the academic year, which could reduce opportunities for anti-social behaviour in public spaces. Meanwhile, drug-related offences rose by 100%, a sharp increase from zero to one incident. This spike, though small in absolute terms, warrants attention and may indicate a shift in local drug dynamics. The crime mix also showed a marked shift: property crimes (12 incidents) now account for 57% of total offences, compared to 28.6% for violent crimes (6 incidents). This shift contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences are 60% below the national rate, while other theft and vehicle crime are 67% above. Such discrepancies highlight Tickhill’s distinct profile, influenced by its location within Doncaster and the nature of local businesses and community structures.

Tickhill’s crime rate in September 2023 fell by 41.6% compared to August, dropping from 6.8 to 4.0 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as shorter evenings and the start of the academic year may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. Daily crime activity in September averaged roughly one incident per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,277. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 251 residents, a statistic that provides context for the likelihood of encountering crime in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Tickhill remains significantly safer, with its overall rate 50% below the national figure. This contrast highlights the effectiveness of local crime prevention efforts or the area’s unique characteristics, such as limited nightlife or strong community engagement. The population-scaled perspective further underscores that, despite the recorded incidents, the risk of experiencing crime here is markedly lower than in many other parts of the country.
