Dinnington Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Dinnington (Rotherham) recorded a crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 residents in August 2025, placing it 13.6% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This elevated rate is driven by a concentration of violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 37.7% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.4%) and shoplifting (7.7%). The area's crime profile in August reflects a seasonal pattern typical of late summer, with peak holiday activity potentially influencing both retail-related offences and public order incidents. Violence and sexual offences, at 3.5 per 1,000, are 22% above the UK average, suggesting a localised concentration of incidents that may be linked to the area's built-up character and proximity to Rotherham's broader urban context. Anti-social behaviour, which is 58% above the UK average, could be tied to increased foot traffic in public spaces during August, a month marked by school holidays and summer events. Shoplifting, though a smaller share of total crimes, saw a 900% increase from July, raising questions about unattended retail outlets or changes in policing strategies. The data also highlights a 79% rise in vehicle crime compared to the UK average, a category that may be influenced by the area's commuter traffic or parking patterns. While the overall crime rate is higher than the national average, the breakdown reveals a mix of elevated and suppressed categories, indicating that local factors—such as community engagement, policing resources, or seasonal dynamics—play a role in shaping the monthly profile.

August 2025 marked a dramatic 900% increase in shoplifting, rising from one incident to 10. This sharp rise, though unexplained by the data, contrasts with a 75% drop in public order offences, which fell from 16 to 4. Anti-social behaviour also surged by 50%, reaching 33 incidents, a figure 58% above the UK average. Meanwhile, vehicle crime climbed 79% above the UK rate, with 10 reported cases. These shifts highlight a combination of specific crime types. For residents, the 900% jump in shoplifting may signal heightened risk during August, a peak holiday month when retail spaces are often unattended. The decrease in burglary, down 66.7% from July, suggests a possible seasonal dip in property crime. The data also reveals an unusual spike in possession of weapons, doubling from zero to one incident, a category that is 11% above the UK average. Such anomalies warrant closer attention from local authorities and community groups.

Dinnington's crime rate in August 2025 stood at 9.2 per 1,000 residents, a 5.8% decrease from the previous month's 9.8 per 1,000. This decline aligns with a broader trend seen in some urban areas during late summer. above the UK average. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of four reported incidents per day in August, a figure that, while localised, underscores the need for consistent community vigilance. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 109 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the area's population of 14,160. This rate is higher than the UK average when considering specific categories like anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, which saw sharp increases. However, the reduction in public order offences and burglary suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal factors may have temporarily mitigated certain risks. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the overall rate is elevated, the absolute number of crimes remains manageable for a built-up area of this size.
