Warmsworth Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2025, Warmsworth’s crime rate stood at 11.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 42.9% above the UK average of 7.7. This figure translates to a local risk of one reported crime for every 91 residents over the course of the month. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 31.6% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.1%) and other theft (10.5%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up district within Doncaster, where high population density and mixed-use development may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and the onset of spring—likely influenced activity patterns, with increased foot traffic in public spaces potentially correlating with rises in anti-social behaviour and public order offences. While the overall rate remains elevated compared to the UK, the breakdown reveals distinct local trends: for instance, shoplifting fell by 70.6% compared to March, reflecting seasonal shifts in retail activity or targeted policing efforts. The interplay between community dynamics and external factors such as weather and holidays continues to shape the crime picture in Warmsworth, necessitating ongoing analysis to inform local strategies.

April 2025 saw dramatic fluctuations in specific crime categories. Other theft surged by 250% compared to March, rising from 4 to 14 incidents—a jump that may reflect increased opportunistic activity during Easter-related events or changes in local business practices. Concurrently, public order offences rose 160%, with 13 incidents recorded, potentially linked to higher foot traffic in public areas during spring. Conversely, shoplifting fell sharply by 70.6%, from 17 to 5, suggesting a seasonal decline in retail-focused crimes. Burglary also dropped by 46.7%, from 15 to 8, though this remains 159% above the UK average. Warmsworth’s rate of violence and sexual offences (3.5 per 1,000) is 34% higher than the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in addressing interpersonal crime. Meanwhile, bicycle theft increased by 100%, from 0 to 1 incident, a small but significant change that may indicate evolving patterns in vehicle-related crime. These shifts underscore the importance of context-specific interventions, as the local crime profile diverges from national trends in key areas.

Warmsworth’s crime rate in April 2025 (11.0 per 1,000) marked a slight 2.2% decrease from March’s 11.3, though it remains significantly higher than the UK average. Over the course of the month, residents faced a monthly exposure rate of one reported crime for every 91 individuals, a figure that contextualises the risk on a per-person basis. Daily crime activity averaged approximately four incidents per day, a locally specific metric that does not translate directly to UK-wide comparisons. When scaled to the area’s population of 12,056, the crime rate illustrates a disparity between Warmsworth and the UK’s broader trends, with certain categories—such as anti-social behaviour (50% above UK average) and other theft (140% above)—highlighting systemic differences. These figures are particularly relevant for residents, as they provide a tangible sense of how crime rates translate to daily life: for instance, the 1-in-91 monthly exposure rate means that most households will not experience a crime directly, but the elevated rates in specific categories may influence perceptions of safety. This comparison also underscores the need for targeted strategies that address the unique challenges of Warmsworth’s built-up environment.
