Tickhill Crime Rate December 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime rate in December 2024 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 35.2% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This figure, while modest, reflects the area’s generally low crime profile compared to national trends. The most common crimes were vehicle-related incidents, accounting for 25% of the total, followed by violence and sexual offences (20.8%) and burglary (16.7%). These categories align with Tickhill’s character as a built-up area within Doncaster, where vehicle crime may be influenced by local transport infrastructure and seasonal factors such as Christmas shopping. The presence of violence and sexual offences, though lower than the UK average, could be linked to the festive season’s social dynamics, including increased alcohol consumption and gatherings in public spaces. Meanwhile, the high rate of vehicle crime—1.1 per 1,000—suggests vulnerabilities in car parks or areas with high vehicle turnover. Seasonal context further shapes these patterns: December’s dark evenings and holiday-related disruptions may contribute to a rise in certain offences, while the closure of businesses or homes during the festive period could explain the 50% drop in criminal damage and arson. Overall, the data illustrates a balance between local-specific trends and broader UK crime patterns, with Tickhill maintaining its position as a relatively safe built-up area within a larger urban context.

December 2024 marked a dramatic shift in crime trends, with other theft surging by 200% from one incident to three, and violence and sexual offences rising by 150% to five reports. These increases, alongside a 100% rise in burglary, signal a sharp uptick in certain categories. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, possibly linked to holiday-related closures or reduced activity during the festive period. Vehicle crime in Tickhill remains 175% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 61% deficit in violence and sexual offences. This divergence highlights the area’s unique crime profile, where property-related offences dominate over violent crime. For residents, the 200% spike in other theft—a category encompassing items like bicycles or personal property—serves as a direct reminder to secure valuables during the holiday season.

Tickhill’s crime rate rose by 60.2% from 2.8 per 1,000 in November 2024 to 4.6 per 1,000 in December, reflecting a notable upward shift. Over the course of December, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 220 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime. This figure, while low compared to the UK average, underscores the relative safety of the area. On a daily basis, the local average was approximately one crime per day, a statistic that contextualises the pace at which incidents occur in Tickhill. When considering the population of 5,277, the 24 total crimes reported in December translate to a manageable frequency for residents, though the increase from the previous month suggests a need for vigilance during the holiday season. The combination of festive activity, reduced visibility due to dark evenings, and potential disruptions to usual routines may contribute to the fluctuation in crime patterns.
