Tickhill Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill's overall crime rate for September 2024 stood at 3.2 crimes per 1,000 residents, placing the area 58.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked contrast with national trends highlights the area's relatively low crime environment. Vehicle crime emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 23.5% of all reported incidents (4 cases) — a figure 78% higher than the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This anomaly may partly explain by the area's road infrastructure and commuter traffic patterns. Violence and sexual offences (3 cases) remained significantly below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), consistent with Tickhill's character as a smaller built-up area with limited nightlife venues. The seasonal transition in September, marked by back-to-school activity and shorter evenings, likely influenced crime dynamics, with reduced outdoor activity potentially curbing violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour (2 cases) and other theft (2 cases) also remained well below UK averages, suggesting effective community engagement or policing efforts. However, the sharp rise in vehicle crime raises questions about whether recent changes in traffic management, vehicle storage practices, or local economic factors have contributed to this trend. As a built-up area within Doncaster, Tickhill's crime profile reflects a balance between rural tranquility and urban connectivity, with specific vulnerabilities emerging in transport-related crime.

September 2024 saw a dramatic 300% increase in vehicle crime, rising from 1 to 4 incidents — the most significant month-on-month jump across all categories. This surge, which places vehicle crime at 0.8 per 1,000 (78% above the UK average), contrasts with the 25% decline in other theft (from 4 to 2 cases). The decrease in violence and sexual offences (25% drop from 4 to 3 cases) aligns with the seasonal context of September, when reduced evening activity and school term resumption may limit opportunities for such crimes. Possession of weapons rose by 100% (from 0 to 1 case), a category that is 186% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly warrants cautious interpretation, as it could reflect either a genuine increase or data collection quirks. The crime mix also shifted significantly, with property crimes (9 cases) accounting for 52.9% of all incidents — a higher proportion than the UK average's property-crime dominance. For residents, the 23.5% share of vehicle crime offers a concrete data point: over the past month, 4 out of 17 total crimes involved vehicles, suggesting targeted awareness campaigns or improved security measures could yield measurable results.

Tickhill's crime rate remained stable at 3.2 per 1,000 in September 2024, matching the previous month's figure exactly. This consistency suggests no significant short-term trends, though the composition of crimes has shifted markedly. Locally, the average resident faced a 1-in-310 chance of being directly involved in a reported crime over the course of the month — a figure that, while low, underscores the impact of specific incidents like the 4 vehicle crime cases. Daily crime statistics show an average of 1 reported crime per day in Tickhill, a manageable frequency for a small built-up area. When contextualised against the UK average, Tickhill's performance is striking: its overall rate is 58.4% below the national figure, with several categories (violence, anti-social behaviour, shoplifting) well below UK averages. However, the 78% surplus in vehicle crime highlights a vulnerability that could be addressed through targeted interventions. For a community of 5,277 residents, these statistics translate to tangible experiences: while most residents are unlikely to encounter crime, the 4 vehicle-related incidents may have affected specific households or businesses. This balance between overall safety and niche vulnerabilities illustrates Tickhill's position as a low-crime area with distinct challenges, warranting continued monitoring of transport-related crime patterns.
