Kiveton Park Crime Rate August 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Kiveton Park, the crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 in August 2023 translates to a personal risk of approximately 1 in 163 for experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. This figure is 23.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, placing the area among the safer parts of the country. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (10 incidents, 22.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (8 incidents, 18.2%) and public order offences (8 incidents, 18.2%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a small built-up area within Rotherham, where community dynamics and local initiatives may contribute to lower crime levels. The seasonal context of August—a peak holiday month—likely influenced some trends, such as the sharp rise in public order offences, which could be attributed to increased foot traffic or unoccupied homes. However, the drop in vehicle crime and burglary may reflect reduced activity during the summer, when many residents take holidays. While violence remains the most prevalent category, its rate is 47% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as policing strategies or community engagement play a role in mitigating risk. This data illustrates a generally stable and relatively safe environment, though the rise in public order offences highlights areas for continued monitoring.

August 2023 brought stark contrasts in crime trends for Kiveton Park. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences each doubled from July, with public order crimes reaching 8 incidents—83% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. This spike may reflect increased community activity during the summer, though no direct link to specific events is available. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 76.9%, from 13 to 3 incidents, likely due to fewer vehicles on the road during the holiday period. Shoplifting and burglary also fell by 66.7%, with shoplifting dropping from 3 to 1 incident. These decreases align with seasonal patterns, as August is typically a peak holiday month with fewer residents in the area. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type at 10 incidents, but this figure was 47% below the UK average. The sharp rise in drug-related offences—jumping from 0 to 3 incidents—suggests a potential shift in local patterns that warrants further observation.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in August 2023 dropped to 6.2 per 1,000 residents, a 25.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.3. This decline places the area significantly below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, highlighting a continued trend of lower-than-national crime levels. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 163 residents, a statistic that contextualises the risk in terms of personal likelihood. This rate is lower than the UK’s average, suggesting that Kiveton Park’s residents face a reduced risk of experiencing crime compared to the national picture. The drop in overall crime, combined with the absence of a UK daily comparison figure, underscores the unique local context, where factors such as community policing or seasonal patterns may play a role in shaping the crime profile.
