Warmsworth Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warmsworth's crime rate in March 2025 stood at 11.3 per 1,000 residents, 44.9% above the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This marked increase underscores a troubling trend for the built-up area within Doncaster, where violent and property crimes have intensified. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 28.7% of all reported crimes, remaining the most prevalent category. Shoplifting, at 12.5% of total crimes, and anti-social behaviour, at 11.8%, further contributed to the area's elevated crime profile. The seasonal transition to spring, with longer evenings and the clock change, may have influenced criminal activity patterns. Burglary and other crimes saw dramatic spikes, with burglary rates more than tripling compared to February. These figures suggest a need for heightened awareness, particularly in areas with high retail activity and public spaces. The UK comparison reveals stark disparities, with shoplifting and criminal damage rates far exceeding national averages, potentially reflecting local vulnerabilities such as increased foot traffic or targeted opportunistic crime. While specific causes, the combination of seasonal factors and local characteristics likely contributes to the area's current crime dynamics. Residents are advised to remain cautious and report suspicious activity promptly.

March 2025 saw a sharp rise in burglary, with incidents increasing by 150% from February's 6 to 15. This spike, coupled with a 70% rise in shoplifting and a 133% increase in 'other crime,' points to a concerning shift in criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 28.7% of total crimes, and were 17% above the UK average. Shoplifting, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, was 106% above the UK rate, potentially linked to the area's retail presence. While robbery rates dropped by 83.3%, this decline may be short-lived without sustained efforts to address underlying factors. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas with high foot traffic and during the transition to longer evenings in spring.

Warmsworth's crime rate in March 2025 rose to 11.3 per 1,000 residents, a 6.2% increase from the previous month's 10.6. This places the area 44.9% above the UK average, highlighting a significant divergence from national trends. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 4 crimes per day, a figure that, while localised, underscores the frequency of incidents in a built-up area within Doncaster. Over the course of March, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 89 residents, a monthly exposure rate that may raise concerns for residents. This rate is higher than the UK average when considering the population-scaled context, though no direct UK comparison for this specific metric is available. The increase in property crimes, particularly burglary, which surged by 150% compared to February, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns that may warrant closer attention from local authorities.
