Tickhill Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime rate in April 2024 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 50.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance positions the area as one of the safer built-up regions within Doncaster, though the breakdown of crime types reveals a combination of local factors. Anti-social behaviour accounted for 45% of all reported crimes, significantly exceeding the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000 (39% above). This suggests that community-based issues, such as disputes or disorder in public spaces, may be a persistent concern. Violence and sexual offences, while comprising 25% of crimes, were 61% below the UK average, a trend likely influenced by the Easter holiday period, which typically sees reduced public activity in the area. The seasonal context of April—characterised by spring weather and increased outdoor activity—may have contributed to a mix of outcomes, with anti-social behaviour rising alongside a drop in violent incidents. Property crimes, including burglary and criminal damage, remained below UK averages, with burglary at 0.2 per 1,000 (38% below the national rate). This could be attributed to the area’s built-up nature, which may limit opportunities for certain types of property crime compared to more rural or isolated locations. The overall crime profile illustrates how local characteristics, such as population density and seasonal rhythms, interact with national trends to shape the area’s safety landscape.

April 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with a 50% reduction in violence and sexual offences compared to March, bringing the total to five incidents. This decrease may be partly explained by the Easter holiday period, which typically sees reduced public activity in the area. Conversely, burglary and possession of weapons both rose by 100% from zero to one incident each, a change that deserves closer attention. Public order offences also doubled to two cases, though this remains below the UK average. The breakdown reveals a stark contrast in local trends: while anti-social behaviour (45% of total crimes) is 39% above the UK average, violence and sexual offences are 61% below the national rate. This divergence suggests that community-specific factors, such as local enforcement priorities or social dynamics, may play a role in shaping these outcomes. Residents may find the 50% drop in violent crime particularly reassuring, though the rise in burglary underscores the need for continued security measures.

Tickhill’s crime rate in April 2024 fell to 3.8 per 1,000 residents, a 26% drop from March’s 5.1 per 1,000. This decline places the area firmly within the lower half of UK crime statistics, with a 50.6% gap below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported per day over the month, a figure that underscores the relatively low level of activity compared to larger urban centres. When scaled to the population of 5,277, this translates to one reported crime occurring for every 264 residents over the course of April. While this monthly exposure is a useful metric for understanding risk, crime rates can fluctuate significantly between months due to seasonal and situational factors. The population-scaled perspective also highlights how the area’s smaller size contributes to a more manageable crime profile, though this does not eliminate the need for ongoing community vigilance.
