Dinnington (Rotherham) Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Dinnington’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 40% of all reported crimes. With a crime rate of 10.2 per 1,000 residents — 25.9% above the UK average — the area faces a significant challenge in addressing violent crime. This category, at 4.0 per 1,000, is 40% higher than the UK average for the same category, highlighting a stark contrast to national trends. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, contributing 19.4% of total crimes, and is 41% above the UK average. These figures suggest a combination of local social dynamics and environmental factors that may amplify confrontational incidents, particularly in densely populated or high-traffic areas. Seasonal patterns in June, marked by longer daylight hours and the start of summer, could influence crime trends. While warmer evenings may encourage outdoor activity, they may also create conditions conducive to anti-social behaviour or disputes. The area’s built-up character within Rotherham, a town with historical industrial roots and ongoing urban regeneration, likely plays a role in shaping these patterns. Property crimes, though lower in proportion (10.4% of total crimes), still exceed UK averages for categories like criminal damage and arson by 90%. This suggests that while violent crime remains the primary concern, property-related incidents are also a persistent issue. The interplay between local demographics, economic conditions, and seasonal rhythms may help explain these trends, though further analysis would be needed to confirm direct correlations.

June 2025 saw a dramatic 166.7% increase in shoplifting, rising from 3 to 8 incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average (0.6 per 1,000), contrasts sharply with the 83.9% spike in violence and sexual offences, which jumped from 31 to 57 cases. This category alone accounts for 39.6% of all crimes, far outpacing other types and contributing significantly to the area’s elevated crime rate. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, with a 41% gap above the UK average, suggesting persistent issues with public order. Meanwhile, some categories declined: vehicle crime dropped 53.8% (from 13 to 6) and possession of weapons fell 66.7% (from 3 to 1). These decreases could reflect targeted interventions or seasonal factors, though the latter may be less relevant in a built-up area where vehicle crime is typically linked to parking patterns rather than tourism. The sharp contrast between rising violent crime and falling weapon-related incidents raises questions about whether broader policing efforts or community initiatives may have influenced outcomes. For residents, the most immediate concern remains the steep rise in violence and sexual offences, which now represent nearly 40% of all reported crimes and are 40% above the UK average for this category.

Dinnington’s crime rate in June 2025 (10.2 per 1,000) marks a 21.1% increase from May’s 8.4 per 1,000, reflecting a significant upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 5 crimes per day, translating to one reported crime for every 98 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the frequency of incidents in a relatively small population of 14,160. When compared to the UK average, Dinnington’s rate is higher, with violent crime alone contributing 40% of the local total — a figure 40% above the UK average for this category. This disparity suggests that local factors, such as demographic composition or environmental conditions, may be amplifying violent crime trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of encountering crime than the national average, particularly in relation to violence and anti-social behaviour. While the UK average for anti-social behaviour is 1.4 per 1,000, Dinnington’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000 indicates a 41% gap, which could reflect community-specific pressures or challenges in managing public order. These statistics highlight the need for targeted strategies to address the areas where Dinnington diverges most sharply from national trends, particularly in violent crime and anti-social behaviour.
