Kiveton Park Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park's crime rate in July 2023 stood at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, aligning precisely with the UK average. This statistic, while statistically neutral, masks significant variations in crime type distribution. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.3% of all reported crimes, with a rate of 3.1 per 1,000 — 12% above the UK average. Vehicle crime followed closely, with a rate of 1.8 per 1,000, more than five times the national average. Burglary, though less frequent, showed a stark 294% increase over the UK average. These patterns are consistent with the seasonal context of July, a month marked by peak summer activity, school holidays, and local festivals that may contribute to increased opportunities for crime. The area's built-up nature within Rotherham likely influences these trends, as urban environments often experience higher rates of vehicle-related and property crimes. While violent crime rates are elevated, categories like anti-social behaviour and other thefts remained below UK averages, suggesting a combination of local factors and national trends. The absence of significant decreases in violent crime, despite a drop in anti-social behaviour, raises questions about the effectiveness of current policing strategies in addressing targeted crime types. As the summer continues, the interplay between population movement, economic factors, and seasonal events may further shape the crime profile in Kiveton Park.

July 2023 revealed alarming surges in specific crime categories. Burglary increased by 800% compared to the previous month, with incidents rising from one to nine. This dramatic rise, coupled with a 200% increase in shoplifting, points to vulnerabilities in property security during the summer period. Violence and sexual offences also saw an 83.3% increase, escalating from 12 to 22 cases. These figures starkly contrast with the UK average for vehicle crime, where Kiveton Park's rate was 275% higher than the national average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and other thefts remained below UK levels, with anti-social behaviour at 58% below the national average. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in areas where burglary and violence have spiked, as these trends may reflect seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during festivals or extended daylight hours encouraging criminal activity.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in July 2023 rose to 8.3 per 1,000 residents, marking an 18% increase from the previous month's rate of 7.0. This shift suggests a notable uptick in criminal activity over the summer period. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day in July, a figure that reflects the monthly total of 59 crimes spread across 31 days. When considering the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 121 residents, highlighting the frequency of incidents within this built-up area. This rate, while matching the UK average, contrasts with the broader national context where certain crime types are significantly underrepresented in Kiveton Park. The localised nature of these statistics underscores the importance of community vigilance and targeted policing strategies, particularly given the seasonal factors influencing crime patterns during peak summer months.
