Tickhill Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tickhill's overall crime rate in October 2025 stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 31.2% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance contrasts sharply with the national picture, where property crimes dominate but Tickhill's profile shows a distinct pattern. Property crimes accounted for 75% of reported incidents, with burglary being the most prevalent category. At 1.9 per 1,000, burglary rates in Tickhill were 533% above the UK average, a striking anomaly that suggests localized factors may be influencing this category. Violent crimes, by contrast, were 62% below the UK average, with only 5 incidents recorded. This divergence highlights the area's unique characteristics, possibly linked to its built-up nature within Doncaster. October's seasonal context—darker evenings, the transition to British Summer Time, and Halloween—may partly explain the spikes in property-related crimes. The month also saw a notable shift in crime composition, with property crimes making up 75% of the total, compared to 25% for violent crimes. This balance differs from the UK average, where property crimes typically account for around 60% of the total. The data suggests that while Tickhill's overall safety is comparatively strong, targeted issues like burglary warrant closer attention. The seasonal timing of October, with its shorter daylight hours and increased indoor activity, could be consistent with patterns observed in similar built-up areas, where burglary rates often rise during autumn months.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 233.3% increase in burglary cases, rising from 3 to 10 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 200% rise in shoplifting (from 1 to 3 cases), suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. While property crimes dominated the month's tally, violent crimes fell by 16.7%, from 6 to 5 incidents. This decline aligns with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which stood at 2.7 per 1,000 in October. Burglary rates in Tickhill were 533% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 62% reduction in violent crime. The month also saw a 50% decrease in criminal damage and arson, from 4 to 2 cases, and a similar drop in other theft incidents. These fluctuations point to a combination of factors, including seasonal influences and localized trends. For residents, the sharp rise in burglary may be particularly concerning, with 10 incidents recorded in a single month. This figure translates to one burglary for every 528 residents in Tickhill, a rate far exceeding the UK's 0.3 per 1,000. The data underscores the need for targeted measures to address property crime in the area, particularly during the autumn months.

Tickhill's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 5.3 per 1,000, a 16.7% increase from the previous month's rate of 4.6. This upward trend, while modest in absolute terms, reflects the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that contextualizes the monthly total of 28 incidents. When scaled to the population, this equates to one reported crime for every 188 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate provides a tangible measure of the likelihood of encountering crime in Tickhill. Comparing this to the UK average, where the overall rate is 7.7 per 1,000, Tickhill's performance remains significantly better, despite the recent increase. The population-scaled perspective highlights that residents in Tickhill are less likely to experience crime than the national average, though the sharp rise in burglary rates complicates this picture. The area's smaller size and built-up nature may contribute to its relatively lower crime rate, but the disproportionate spike in burglary suggests that localized factors—such as housing density or security measures—play a critical role. The comparison to the UK average underscores the importance of maintaining the current safety standards while addressing the specific vulnerabilities that led to the October surge in property crimes.
