Tickhill Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime profile in February 2024 reveals a clear dominance of property-related offences over violent crimes, a pattern that may reflect the area’s character as a small built-up area with a mix of residential and commercial activity. The overall crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000, 31% below the UK average, positions Tickhill as a safer locale within the broader context of national crime trends. Property crimes accounted for 61.5% of all reported incidents, with anti-social behaviour, vehicle crime, and criminal damage and arson making up the largest shares. This imbalance between property and violent crime could be influenced by factors such as the local economy, the presence of retail or industrial zones, or the seasonal context of February, which typically sees reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in social events. The UK comparison data further highlights areas of divergence: while vehicle crime and burglary were significantly above the national average, violent crime rates were lower. This contrast may be attributed to the area’s demographics, with a smaller population and fewer high-risk environments compared to larger urban centres. The seasonal context of February—marked by colder weather and limited daylight—likely contributed to the lower incidence of outdoor-related crimes, though the sharp increase in criminal damage and arson suggests that other factors, such as localised issues or environmental vulnerabilities, may be at play. These patterns underscore the importance of tailored approaches to crime prevention that address the specific needs of Tickhill’s community.

February 2024 saw a 300% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This surge, while concerning, contrasts sharply with a 62.5% drop in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 8 to 3. The property crime category, which accounted for 61.5% of all incidents, remained the dominant concern, with vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour leading the breakdown. Vehicle crime was 82% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area’s road infrastructure or local traffic patterns. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour, though still a significant concern, was 5% below the UK average, suggesting that community policing efforts or local initiatives could be playing a role in mitigating certain types of disorder. For residents, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson underscores the need for vigilance around public spaces and property, particularly as the month progressed.

Tickhill's crime rate in February 2024 fell 10.4% from the previous month’s 5.5 per 1,000 to 4.9 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 29-day period, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the localised spikes in certain categories. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 203 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of risk in a way that is tangible for local households. This monthly exposure rate, while modest, highlights the importance of sustained community engagement in maintaining safety. When compared to the previous month, the shift in crime patterns suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal factors may have contributed to the decline, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this. The population context also reveals that Tickhill’s crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, reinforcing its position as a comparatively safe area within the broader regional framework.
