Tickhill Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Tickhill during November 2024 reveals a distinct emphasis on property-related offences, with criminal damage and arson accounting for 26.7% of all reported crimes. This contrasts sharply with the UK average, where such offences make up 0.6 per 1,000 residents. Vehicle crime mirrored this trend, contributing another 26.7% of incidents, significantly above the UK rate of 0.4 per 1,000. The low overall crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents—63.2% below the UK average—suggests a community with relatively stable social conditions. However, the seasonal context of November, marked by dark evenings and events like Bonfire Night, may have influenced patterns. For instance, the rise in criminal damage could reflect increased anti-social behaviour during colder, darker nights. Conversely, violent crimes and sexual offences fell to 13.3% of the total, far below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that Tickhill’s built-up area within Doncaster may have effective community policing or social cohesion mechanisms that reduce interpersonal conflict. The presence of anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, however, indicates vulnerabilities in public spaces and transport infrastructure that require targeted attention. While the low overall rate is encouraging, the concentration of property crimes highlights areas for improvement in securing public and private assets.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in criminal damage and arson cases, rising from 2 to 4 incidents. This sharp rise may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night, which can lead to pyrotechnic-related incidents or vandalism. Shoplifting also doubled from zero to one case, potentially influenced by Black Friday shopping activity. In contrast, violent crimes and sexual offences fell by 77.8%, dropping from 9 to 2, a significant shift that could reflect seasonal changes in social interactions or the effectiveness of local crime prevention initiatives. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 60%, from 5 to 2 cases, though this remains a notable category in Tickhill’s crime mix. Tickhill’s criminal damage rate of 0.8 per 1,000 residents is 40% above the UK average, while vehicle crime is 82% above the national rate. These figures suggest that specific local conditions—such as the presence of car parks, transport hubs, or neglected public spaces—may contribute to higher rates in these categories. Residents should be aware of the increased risk of property damage and vehicle-related crimes during November, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or limited surveillance.

The crime rate in Tickhill fell by 46.5% from October 2024’s 5.3 per 1,000 residents to November’s 2.8 per 1,000, a marked decline that positions the area as significantly safer than many UK regions. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 352 residents, a figure that underscores the rarity of criminal incidents in this built-up area. Daily crime statistics show that Tickhill experienced roughly zero crimes per day during the month, a rate that is exceptionally low compared to national averages. With a population of 5,277, the monthly exposure of 1-in-352 residents to crime is a testament to the area’s overall safety. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and vehicle crime highlights vulnerabilities that, while not detracting from the overall safety profile, warrant targeted interventions. For context, the UK average crime rate is 7.6 per 1,000 residents, meaning Tickhill’s residents face a risk level that is less than a third of the national average. This comparative advantage is particularly evident in violent crime categories, where Tickhill’s rate is 84% below the UK average. Nevertheless, the localised spikes in property-related offences suggest that while Tickhill is broadly safe, specific environmental or social factors may require attention to prevent further increases in these areas.
