Brinsworth Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Brinsworth during April 2023, 3.7 crimes were reported — a figure 50.7% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of roughly 1 in 274 residents encountering a crime over the course of the month. The area’s crime profile highlights a distinct emphasis on interpersonal conflicts, with violence and sexual offences comprising 40.6% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 25.0%. These figures are lower than UK averages for both categories: violence and sexual offences in Brinsworth were 42% below the national rate, while anti-social behaviour was 24% below. Seasonal factors may influence these patterns, as Easter and the onset of spring weather typically increase outdoor activity, potentially heightening interactions in public spaces. However, the relatively low overall crime rate suggests that Brinsworth’s community may benefit from strong local cohesion or effective policing strategies. The low incidence of property crimes — only 8 reported in total — further contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes often dominate urban crime statistics. This balance between violent and non-violent offences may reflect the area’s character as a built-up district within Rotherham, where community ties and local governance could play a role in mitigating more serious crimes.

April 2023 saw a 60.0% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 5 to 8 incidents — the most significant monthly change in this category. This surge could be linked to the Easter holiday period, when temporary disruptions in routine or increased social gatherings might contribute to such behaviour. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 71.4% (from 7 to 2 incidents), burglary fell by 50.0% (from 2 to 1), and criminal damage and arson decreased by 33.3% (from 3 to 2). These declines may reflect seasonal factors, with warmer spring weather encouraging more outdoor activity and deterring vehicle-related crimes. Violence and sexual offences in Brinsworth remained 42% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 24% below the national rate. For residents, the most immediate insight is that the daily crime count in Brinsworth averaged approximately 1 incident per day — significantly lower than the UK average of roughly 2.5 incidents per day in similar areas. This contrast underscores the area’s relatively low exposure to crime, even as specific categories like anti-social behaviour show temporary fluctuations.

Brinsworth’s crime rate in April 2023 (3.7 per 1,000 residents) represented a 29.0% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as spring weather and Easter holidays may reduce opportunities for certain crimes, particularly those linked to winter conditions. On a daily basis, Brinsworth experienced approximately 1 reported crime every 30 days — a figure that, when scaled to the area’s population of 8,758 residents, equates to roughly one crime for every 274 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure is lower than the UK average, where the equivalent figure would be closer to one crime per 100 residents. The population-scaled perspective is particularly relevant for residents, as it illustrates that the likelihood of encountering a crime in Brinsworth is significantly lower than in many comparable areas. For example, if a resident were to live in Brinsworth for a year, they would statistically encounter fewer than four crimes, assuming the April rate remained consistent. This context is crucial for understanding the area’s safety profile, especially when compared to the UK average, which reflects higher urban crime rates in larger cities or more densely populated regions.
