Dinnington (Rotherham) Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Dinnington's crime profile in June 2024, accounting for 35.6% of all reported incidents, a figure that positions them as the most prevalent category in the built-up area. With a crime rate of 7.3 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 11% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, a consistent trend that suggests a relatively safer environment compared to national benchmarks. The breakdown reveals a combination of violent and property crimes, with anti-social behaviour (23.1%) and vehicle crime (11.5%) emerging as significant contributors. Seasonal factors may influence these patterns, as June marks the beginning of summer—a period often associated with increased public activity and tourism in nearby areas. However, the local context appears to diverge from typical seasonal trends, with anti-social behaviour surging despite the longer days and warmer weather. This anomaly could be linked to localised events or community dynamics. The relatively low rates of shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000) and burglary (0.1 per 1,000) suggest that retail and residential areas may have effective security measures in place, or that the built-up character of Dinnington inherently reduces opportunities for such crimes. The dominance of violence as the primary category, however, indicates ongoing challenges in managing public safety, particularly in spaces where anti-social behaviour is on the rise. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions that address both the immediate causes of violent incidents and the underlying factors contributing to the increase in anti-social conduct.

June 2024 saw a dramatic 166.7% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from nine to 24 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in vehicle crime, highlights a shift in the crime profile of Dinnington. While violent crime remains the dominant category (37 incidents), the proportion of property crimes has decreased, with anti-social behaviour now accounting for 23.1% of all reported crimes. Anti-social behaviour in Dinnington is 21% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 68% deficit in shoplifting, which fell to 0.2 per 1,000 compared to the UK's 0.6 per 1,000. The sharp decline in drug-related crimes—down 80% from five to one—suggests a potential reduction in associated activities. These fluctuations underscore the importance of localised analysis, as Dinnington's crime trends diverge significantly from national averages in key categories.

Dinnington's crime rate in June 2024 rose slightly from 7.1 to 7.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 2.9% increase over the previous month. This translates to an average of three reported crimes per day within the built-up area, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents for local residents. Over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 136 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the proportion of the population affected by crime. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the shift in crime mix—particularly the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime—suggests evolving patterns that may reflect seasonal factors or local dynamics. The daily crime count, though modest, underscores the ongoing need for vigilance in public spaces, especially in areas where anti-social behaviour has surged. This monthly perspective provides a tangible measure of risk, enabling residents to assess their personal exposure relative to the broader population.
