Tickhill Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill's overall crime rate in May 2024 remained significantly below the UK average, recording 4.6 crimes per 1,000 residents — 45.2% lower than the national figure of 8.4. This places the built-up area within Doncaster among the safer regions in the country, though specific crime categories reveal localized concerns. Public order offences and violence each accounted for 20.8% of total crimes, reflecting patterns often seen in small urban centres where social interactions intensify during warmer weather and extended evenings. The seasonal context of May — marked by bank holidays and increased outdoor drinking — likely contributes to these trends, as community spaces become more active and transient populations interact more frequently. Property crimes, at 10 incidents, constituted 41.7% of all recorded crimes, aligning with typical patterns in areas with mixed residential and commercial land use. However, the sharp rise in public order offences compared to earlier months suggests a need for heightened awareness during weekends and evenings. The relatively low burglary and theft rates (each at 4.2% of total crimes) contrast with the UK average, indicating that Tickhill's compact layout and community oversight may act as natural deterrents to more serious property crimes. This month's data underscores the importance of understanding how seasonal and social factors interact with local geography to shape crime profiles.

Public order crimes saw a dramatic 150% increase in May 2024, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge, which outpaces the UK average by 59%, highlights a significant shift in the crime mix — public order now accounts for 20.8% of total crimes, compared to 0.6 per 1,000 nationally. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high foot traffic, where alcohol-fuelled disputes and anti-social behaviour are likely to escalate during late evenings. Vehicle crime also doubled from 0 to 3 incidents, a 100% increase that places Tickhill 28% above the UK average for this category. This spike may be linked to increased car usage during bank holidays and the presence of unsecured vehicles in public spaces. Conversely, anti-social behaviour incidents fell by 55.6%, declining from 9 to 4 — a trend that contrasts with the national average, which remains 45% higher. This decrease could reflect the effectiveness of local initiatives or seasonal shifts in community activity. Violent crimes remained well below the UK average (65% lower), with 5 incidents recorded — a figure that aligns with Tickhill's historically low levels of serious violence.

Tickhill's crime rate in May 2024 rose by 20.1% compared to April's 3.8 per 1,000, reflecting a month-on-month increase that underscores the volatility of local crime patterns. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 220 residents — a monthly exposure rate that, while low, highlights the concentrated nature of recent incidents. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day, a figure that, when contextualized within Tickhill's population of 5,277, suggests that the majority of residents remain unaffected by criminal activity. However, the concentrated nature of recent public order and vehicle crime incidents indicates that specific locations or times may pose higher risks. This 20.1% increase, though modest in absolute terms, signals a need for continued monitoring, particularly as the area transitions into the summer months. The low overall crime rate — 4.6 per 1,000 — continues to position Tickhill as a safer alternative to the UK average, but the localized spikes in certain crime types demonstrate that no area is entirely immune to fluctuations. Residents should remain aware that while the general population faces minimal risk, targeted vigilance in high-traffic areas may be prudent during peak social hours.
