Warmsworth Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Warmsworth’s crime profile in November 2024, accounting for 33.3% of all reported incidents—nearly double the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This category, with 48 recorded cases, is the most significant driver of the area’s overall crime rate of 11.9 per 1,000 residents, which is 56.6% above the UK’s 7.6 per 1,000. The built-up nature of Warmsworth, situated within Doncaster, likely contributes to this pattern, as densely populated areas often see higher rates of interpersonal crime. Seasonal factors may also play a role: the onset of dark evenings, coupled with Black Friday shopping, could have increased opportunities for theft and public disorder. Criminal damage and arson, at 1.6 per 1,000, and public order offences, at 1.1 per 1,000, further elevate the area’s crime picture. These rates are 181% and 116% above the UK average, respectively, indicating a notable disparity in property-related and disorder incidents. The area’s crime mix is skewed towards violent and property offences, with anti-social behaviour and other theft also contributing. While the UK average sees vehicle crime as a common issue, Warmsworth’s rate is 9% below the national figure, reflecting local infrastructure or policing priorities. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night and the end of the shopping season—may have intensified certain crime types, though the exact causal links remain speculative.

November 2024 saw a stark 120% increase in other theft, rising from five to 11 incidents. This jump, coupled with a 100% rise in bicycle theft and possession of weapons, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. The dominance of violence and sexual offences—accounting for 33.3% of all crimes—remains the most significant category, with rates 55% above the UK average. This category’s persistence may be linked to the area’s built-up nature and the social dynamics of its population. Conversely, drugs-related crimes fell by 92.3%, from 13 to 1, a decline that contrasts sharply with the increases in other categories. The rise in bicycle theft could be tied to seasonal factors, such as the end of the university term or increased outdoor activity during darker evenings. These fluctuations highlight the need for targeted policing strategies in high-risk areas, particularly where property crimes are rising.

Warmsworth's November 2024 crime rate of 11.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 9.0% increase from the previous month's 11.0 per 1,000. This rise, though modest, places the area 56.6% above the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experiences roughly five crimes per day, a figure that underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 12,056. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 84 residents, highlighting the monthly exposure to crime in this built-up area. While this rate is higher than the UK average, the comparison must be contextualised: Warmsworth’s proximity to Doncaster’s urban core and its mix of residential and commercial zones may contribute to this disparity. The daily crime count, while locally significant, does not provide a direct comparison to UK-wide figures, as national daily averages are not available for this specific area. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher likelihood of encountering crime compared to the UK average, though the absolute number of incidents remains lower in national terms.
