Tickhill Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime rate in December 2025 stood at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 54.3% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This figure, while modest, reflects a broader trend of stability in a built-up area within Doncaster, where low population density and community-focused policing may contribute to the relatively low crime profile. The top crime types were violence and sexual offences (29.4% of total incidents), followed by criminal damage and arson (23.5%) and public order offences (11.8%). The seasonal context of December—marked by Christmas shopping, dark evenings, and the presence of empty homes during holidays—may have influenced these patterns, with violence and sexual offences linked to increased social interactions during the festive period. However, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, despite the area’s generally low crime rate, suggests localized factors such as property neglect or increased vandalism during the holiday season. This category’s UK average comparison (54% above the national rate) raises questions about whether Tickhill’s built-up nature or specific community dynamics contribute to this discrepancy, though further analysis would be needed to confirm such links. Overall, the data illustrates a community where crime remains rare but not absent, with seasonal and environmental factors playing a notable role in shaping patterns.

The most striking shift in December 2025 was the 100% increase in criminal damage and arson, which rose from 2 to 4 incidents. This jump, though modest in absolute terms, outpaced other categories and contrasts sharply with the 75% drop in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 4 to 1. The category’s UK average comparison—54% above the national rate of 0.5 per 1,000—suggests that Tickhill’s built-up area may face unique challenges, possibly linked to seasonal pressures such as holiday property neglect or increased vandalism during festive decorations. Meanwhile, vehicle crime also saw a 100% increase, moving from zero to one incident, a figure that, while small, could indicate heightened risks in car parks or residential streets during the month. Conversely, other theft fell by 71.4% (from 7 to 2), a decline that may reflect reduced retail activity or successful local deterrence efforts. These swings highlight the unpredictable nature of crime in small communities, where even minor changes can have outsized impacts on local perceptions of safety.

December 2025 saw Tickhill’s crime rate drop to 3.2 per 1,000 residents, a 22.8% decrease from the previous month’s 4.2 per 1,000. This decline aligns with typical seasonal patterns, as December’s dark evenings and holiday closures may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,277. When viewed through the lens of monthly exposure, the data shows that over the course of December, one reported crime occurred for every 310 residents—a rate that, while not negligible, remains significantly below the UK average. This statistic underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, though the spike in specific categories like criminal damage and arson raises questions about localized factors. The population context further clarifies that even modest increases in crime can have disproportionate impacts in small communities, highlighting the need for targeted local analysis rather than broad generalizations.
