Tickhill Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill’s crime rate in February 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, placing it 26.9% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area’s consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends, a pattern that may be attributed to its built-up nature within Doncaster, where community engagement and local policing likely contribute to reduced incidents. The breakdown of crimes reveals a clear dominance of property-related offences, which accounted for 50% of all reported incidents, compared to 26.9% for violent crimes. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, occurred at 1.3 per 1,000 — 45% below the UK average — suggesting a stable environment for personal safety. Other theft and shoplifting, however, both rose sharply, with shoplifting increasing by 300% from January, pointing to a growing focus on retail and personal property crime. This shift may be influenced by seasonal factors, as February typically sees lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in social events, driving offenders toward indoor or commercial targets. The area’s low burglary rate — 0.2 per 1,000 — remains 26% below the UK average, a trend that could reflect effective security measures or the limited presence of high-value assets in residential areas. While the overall crime rate remains low, the increase in property crimes highlights the need for targeted interventions to address vulnerabilities in retail spaces and personal belongings. The winter month’s context, with reduced daylight and colder temperatures, may also play a role in shaping these patterns, as offenders may seek easier opportunities in enclosed environments.

February saw a dramatic 300% rise in shoplifting, jumping from one to four incidents, a stark contrast to the previous month’s figures. Other theft also doubled, rising from zero to four cases, indicating a potential shift in criminal activity targeting retail or personal property. Meanwhile, burglary fell by 50%, from two to one incident, suggesting possible improvements in security measures or reduced opportunities. Violent crimes, at seven incidents, remained 45% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a consistent trend that may reflect the area’s lower population density or community cohesion. The increase in shoplifting and other theft, however, points to a growing focus on property crimes, which now make up 50% of all reported incidents, compared to 26.9% for violent crimes. This shift may be linked to seasonal factors, such as reduced outdoor activity in winter or increased retail activity during the pre-spring period.

Tickhill’s crime rate in February 2025 rose 53.1% compared to January’s 3.2 per 1,000, reflecting a shift in local patterns. Daily crime statistics show one incident reported per day on average, a figure that, while modest, underscores the need for ongoing vigilance. Over the course of the month, 1 in every 203 residents experienced a reported crime, a monthly exposure rate that aligns with the area’s low overall crime profile but highlights the concentration of incidents in specific categories. When scaled to the population of 5,277, this means a resident has a 0.48% chance of being directly affected by crime during February. The increase from the previous month contrasts with the area’s generally stable crime environment, suggesting seasonal or situational factors may have influenced reporting. The population context reinforces that Tickhill remains significantly safer than the UK average, with its crime rate 26.9% below the national figure, though the rise in specific offences warrants attention.
