Tickhill Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill's crime rate for October 2024 sits at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 34.6% deficit compared to the UK's national average of 8.1 per 1,000. This built-up area within Doncaster demonstrates a markedly safer profile than the broader UK, though seasonal factors and local dynamics shape its crime picture. Violence and sexual offences dominate the monthly tally with 9 incidents, representing 32.1% of all crimes recorded. Anti-social behaviour follows closely with 5 cases, and vehicle crime rounds out the top three with 5 reports. These figures contrast with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which sits at 2.7 per 1,000, a 36% deficit in Tickhill. October's darker evenings and Halloween festivities may influence patterns, though the area's relatively low crime levels suggest effective local deterrents or community engagement. The balance between property and violent crime remains skewed: property crimes (12) account for 42.9% of total incidents, while violent crimes (9) represent 32.1%, indicating a mix of concerns but with property-related issues slightly more prevalent. This distribution aligns with typical built-up area profiles, where vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour often intersect with public spaces and transport networks. The seasonal context of October—shorter days and seasonal events—may contribute to fluctuations, but Tickhill's overall crime rate remains consistently below national benchmarks, reflecting either robust policing, community initiatives, or demographic characteristics that mitigate criminal activity.

October 2024 saw stark month-on-month increases in several crime categories, with violence and sexual offences surging by 200% from 3 to 9 incidents. This rise, though still below the UK average for the category, highlights a significant shift in local dynamics. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply by 150%, increasing from 2 to 5 cases, suggesting potential pressures on community cohesion or policing capacity during the month. Robbery, a previously unrecorded category in September, emerged with 1 incident—a 100% increase—though this remains a single data point. Vehicle crime in Tickhill (5 cases at 1.0 per 1,000) exceeds the UK average by 113%, indicating a local vulnerability that contrasts with other categories. This discrepancy may stem from Tickhill's built-up nature, where vehicle density and parking infrastructure could create opportunities for theft. Meanwhile, violent crime remains below the UK average, with 9 incidents at 1.7 per 1,000 compared to the national 2.7 per 1,000. This suggests that while violent crime is rising locally, Tickhill still maintains a safer profile than the UK average for this category. For residents, the 113% excess in vehicle crime may prompt targeted awareness campaigns or parking policy reviews, given the direct relevance to daily life in a built-up area.

Tickhill's October 2024 crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents represents a 64.9% increase from the previous month's rate of 3.2 per 1,000, yet it remains 34.6% below the UK average. This month-on-month rise underscores temporary fluctuations, though the area's overall position relative to national benchmarks remains consistent. On a daily basis, Tickhill recorded approximately 1 crime per day in October, a figure that may seem high in isolation but scales down significantly when considered against the population of 5,277. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 188 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while not negligible, is far lower than the UK average, which would see a crime for every 123 residents (based on the UK rate of 8.1 per 1,000). This suggests that Tickhill's population density and local infrastructure may act as a mitigating factor, distributing crime risk more thinly across the community. The 5,277 residents of Tickhill are thus statistically less likely to experience crime than the average UK resident. monthly increase from September signals a need for vigilance. For context, the UK's average of 8.1 per 1,000 translates to a 1-in-123 chance of being a victim, whereas Tickhill's 5.3 per 1,000 equates to a 1-in-188 chance—a 34.6% reduction that highlights the area's relative safety despite recent upward trends.
