Warmsworth Crime Rate May 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a built-up area of 12,056 residents, Warmsworth's 189 crimes in May 2023 equate to one reported incident for every 64 residents over the course of the month. This places the area's crime rate at 15.7 per 1,000, 96.2% above the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (28.6% of total), anti-social behaviour (24.3%), and criminal damage and arson (13.8%). These patterns align with Warmsworth's character as a densely populated urban area within Doncaster, where social interactions in public spaces may contribute to higher rates of violent and disorderly incidents. The seasonal context of May—characterised by bank holidays, extended daylight hours, and increased outdoor activity—likely amplified socialising and drinking, factors that may partly explain the elevated levels of public order and anti-social behaviour. The crime rate for violence and sexual offences (4.5 per 1,000) is 62% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (3.8 per 1,000) is 186% above the national figure. These disparities suggest that local factors, such as community dynamics or policing strategies, may play a role in shaping the area's crime profile. The absence of significant decreases in violent crime, despite a 50% drop in vehicle-related offences, indicates a combination of influences affecting different crime categories.

May 2023 saw a dramatic 200% surge in burglary cases, rising from 4 to 12, marking the largest single-category increase. Public order offences also rose sharply by 185.7%, with 20 incidents reported compared to 7 in April. Anti-social behaviour, already the second-highest category, jumped 155.6% to 46 cases. This spike aligns with May's longer evenings and bank holidays, which likely increased outdoor socialising and drinking. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 50% to 2 incidents, possibly due to reduced car usage during holiday periods. Other theft decreased by 40% to 6 cases, though it remains 15% below the UK average for this category. The 96.2% gap between Warmsworth's rate and the UK average suggests a unique local context, with violent crime (4.5 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour (3.8 per 1,000) both far exceeding national benchmarks.

Warmsworth's crime rate in May 2023 rose to 15.7 per 1,000 residents, a 31.3% increase from the previous month's 11.9 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 6 crimes reported each day in the built-up area, with one crime occurring for every 64 residents over the course of the month. When scaled to the population of 12,056, the monthly exposure rate highlights the frequency of incidents relative to local demographics. While daily crime counts provide a snapshot of activity, the monthly aggregate underscores the cumulative impact on residents. The population context reveals that Warmsworth's crime rate remains significantly higher than the UK average, though the comparison section focuses on local metrics rather than national benchmarks. This data reflects the density of incidents in a relatively small area, with implications for community safety and resource allocation.
