Brinsworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Brinsworth’s crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 38.1% of all reported incidents. This category, which includes 16 recorded crimes, remains 30% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 residents, a figure that underscores the area’s relatively safer profile for such offences. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 21.4% of total crimes, with nine incidents reported. The overall crime rate for the month stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 34.2% lower than the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This disparity may be attributed to Brinsworth’s status as a built-up area within Rotherham, where community engagement and local policing efforts may contribute to lower rates of violent crime. However, burglary rates in the area are 100% above the UK average, with five incidents recorded compared to the national average of 0.3 per 1,000. This anomaly suggests that property crime remains a concern for residents, particularly in light of the seasonal context. November, with its dark evenings and the proximity of Bonfire Night, may have influenced criminal activity patterns, increasing opportunities for theft and burglary. The month also coincided with Black Friday shopping, which could have led to increased vehicle crime as a result of higher foot traffic and more cars in the area. Despite these challenges, the overall trend indicates that Brinsworth continues to maintain a crime rate significantly below national averages, although targeted interventions may still be necessary to address specific vulnerabilities.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime and other crime categories compared to the previous month, with both rising from two incidents to four and from one to two respectively. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 12.5%, increasing from eight to nine incidents. These changes suggest a shift in criminal activity, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as the early onset of dark evenings and the timing of Bonfire Night. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 80%, declining from five to one incident, a drop that may reflect increased community vigilance or the impact of targeted enforcement efforts. The category of violence and sexual offences, which makes up 38.1% of all reported crimes, remains 30% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This discrepancy highlights Brinsworth’s comparatively safer environment for this category of crime. Meanwhile, burglary rates in Brinsworth are 100% above the UK average, indicating a specific vulnerability in this area. Residents may find the rise in vehicle crime particularly concerning, as it represents a doubling of incidents compared to the previous month.

Brinsworth's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 23.6% compared to the previous month, reflecting a notable shift in local crime patterns. The current rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents contrasts with November 2024’s 6.3 per 1,000, indicating a consistent downward trend over the past year. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of one crime per day in November, a figure that aligns with Brinsworth’s generally low crime profile relative to national averages. When considering the monthly exposure, 1 in every 209 residents experienced a reported crime during the month, a statistic that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. This rate, when scaled to the population of 8,758, suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. The reduction in crime may reflect seasonal factors such as the winding down of Black Friday shopping activity or the impact of earlier policing initiatives. However, the comparison to the previous month highlights the volatility of crime trends, with some categories showing significant fluctuations. This data invites further analysis of how local conditions and external events influence crime rates in Brinsworth.
