Tickhill Crime Rate January 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Tickhill’s crime profile in January 2026, accounting for 44.4% of all reported crimes—a stark contrast to the UK average of 2.5 per 1,000 for this category. With 12 incidents recorded, this category alone contributed nearly half of the area’s total 27 crimes. The overall crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents placed Tickhill 25.0% below the UK average of 6.8, a gap that reflects broader trends in smaller built-up areas within Doncaster. Seasonal factors likely influenced the data: January’s post-holiday period, shorter daylight hours, and reduced retail footfall may have contributed to a shift in crime patterns. While property crimes remained relatively low (7 incidents, or 1.0 per 1,000), violent crimes surged, possibly linked to the area’s demographic mix and seasonal social dynamics. Anti-social behaviour, at 1.0 per 1,000, was 8% above the UK average, suggesting local challenges in managing public disorder. Vehicle crime, though modest (0.6 per 1,000), was 62% above the UK average, tied to unsecured parking or high-traffic areas. These figures illustrate an area where violent crime is a pressing concern, but where overall safety remains comparatively strong. The seasonal context—such as reduced outdoor activity and post-holiday transitions—may have amplified tensions in public spaces.

January 2026 marked a dramatic shift in Tickhill’s crime profile, with violent offences surging by 140% to 12 reported cases—nearly half of all crimes. This spike, though not uncommon in post-holiday months, was accompanied by a 400% rise in anti-social behaviour, driven by a jump from one to five incidents. Vehicle crime also saw a 200% increase, with three reported cases compared to one in December. These trends contrast with declines in public order offences (down 50%) and other thefts (down 50%), though the latter’s reduction may be partly due to seasonal factors. Tickhill’s anti-social behaviour rate (1.0 per 1,000) was 8% above the UK average of 0.9, while vehicle crime (0.6 per 1,000) was 62% above the UK average of 0.4. This divergence highlights local challenges, particularly in managing public disorder and vehicle-related incidents, which may reflect the area’s specific demographics or infrastructure. Residents might find the 400% rise in anti-social behaviour particularly concerning, as it underscores a need for community engagement or policing adjustments.

Tickhill's crime rate in January 2026 rose by 59.0% compared to the previous month, moving from 3.2 to 5.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, remains 25.0% below the UK average of 6.8 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to approximately one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that may give residents pause but reflects a manageable level of activity. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 195 residents, a ratio that contextualises the impact on the community. Given Tickhill’s population of 5,277, this suggests that while crime is present, it does not dominate daily life. The shift in crime patterns—particularly the 140% rise in violent offences and 400% spike in anti-social behaviour—demands closer scrutiny. However, the decline in public order crimes and other thefts may indicate temporary factors, such as seasonal lulls or targeted interventions. long-term trends, but the contrast between rising violent crime and falling property-related offences raises questions about changing dynamics in the area.
