Warmsworth Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Warmsworth’s crime rate in August 2024 stood at 11.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 40.2% above the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This divergence from the national picture highlights the area’s distinct challenges, particularly in violent and property crimes. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 29% of all recorded crimes, with 40 incidents reported—a rate of 3.3 per 1,000, 23% above the UK average. Shoplifting, at 19 cases (13.8% of total crimes), remained 125% above the UK average, suggesting a combination of retail activity and seasonal foot traffic in the area. Public order offences, rising to 17 cases (12.3% of total), also far exceeded the UK rate by 122%, potentially reflecting the impact of summer crowds and the area’s built-up character within Doncaster. August, as a peak holiday month, likely contributed to increased tourism and empty homes, factors that may have amplified burglary risks, though burglary itself remained at 10 cases (7.3% of total). The data illustrates a combination of local demographics, seasonal patterns, and enforcement efforts, with Warmsworth’s crime profile underscoring the need for targeted strategies to address persistent disparities.

August 2024 saw a stark 54.5% increase in public order offences, rising from 11 to 17 incidents, a shift that may reflect the pressures of summer crowds in local areas. Concurrently, theft from the person surged by 100%, with one incident reported—a sharp contrast to the previous month’s zero occurrences. This uptick, though small in absolute terms, signals a potential vulnerability in personal safety during peak tourist periods. Meanwhile, shoplifting fell by 40.6% to 19 cases, a decline that aligns with broader efforts to deter retail crime. Shoplifting in Warmsworth remains 125% above the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to the area’s retail density and seasonal foot traffic. The decrease in vehicle crime by 47.6% to 11 cases could indicate improved security measures or reduced parking congestion during the month.

Warmsworth's crime rate in August 2024 dropped by 23.7% from 15.0 to 11.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a notable decline compared to the previous month. While this reduction offers a glimmer of progress, the rate remains 40.2% above the UK average, underscoring persistent challenges. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately four crimes per day, a figure that, while lower than July, still highlights the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 87 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 12,056, illustrates the uneven distribution of risk. This statistic, though localised, provides a tangible measure of how crime impacts individual households. The decrease in vehicle crime and shoplifting suggests targeted interventions may be having an effect, though the sharp rise in public order offences indicates new pressures that require attention.
