Kiveton Park Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2023, Kiveton Park’s crime profile was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for nearly 30% of all reported incidents. This category, though significant, was 27% below the UK average at 2.0 per 1,000 residents. The overall crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 for the area was 13.2% lower than the national average of 7.6 per 1,000, a figure that reflects a combination of local policing efforts and demographic characteristics. The seasonal transition to spring, with longer evenings and the clocks changing, may have influenced patterns. Vehicle crime, however, stood out as a marked departure from the UK norm, with 13 incidents reported—275% above the national rate of 0.5 per 1,000. This suggests that local factors, such as the presence of commuter parking areas or high-traffic zones, could be contributing to this anomaly. Anti-social behaviour, the third most common category, was 4% below the UK average, indicating community engagement initiatives or lower levels of public disorder in comparison to other regions. The breakdown of crimes illustrates a combination of local dynamics and broader national trends, with property-related offences (46.8% of total crimes) maintaining a consistent presence alongside rising concerns over vehicle crime. These figures, while lower than the UK average overall, highlight specific areas where targeted interventions may be needed.

March 2023 saw vehicle crime emerge as a significant concern in Kiveton Park, with 13 incidents reported—275% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. This stark divergence suggests local factors such as commuter parking patterns or vehicle density may play a role. Conversely, violence and sexual offences, while still the most frequently reported category (29.8% of total crimes), were 27% below the UK average at 2.0 per 1,000. This discrepancy may reflect the area’s demographic profile or community-focused policing initiatives. The crime mix also shifted slightly, with property crimes (22 incidents) making up 46.8% of the total, compared to 29.8% for violent crimes. This balance suggests that while personal safety remains a priority, property-related concerns are more prevalent. A notable data point for residents: the rate of shoplifting (0.1 per 1,000) was 80% below the UK average, indicating that retail areas may have effective security measures in place.

In March 2023, Kiveton Park recorded 47 crimes over 31 days, translating to approximately 2 crimes per day. This daily frequency provides a tangible snapshot of local activity, though it remains a local metric without a direct UK-wide equivalent. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 152 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the area’s population of 7,151. This monthly exposure rate suggests that the likelihood of encountering crime is lower than the UK average, which aligns with the overall crime rate of 6.6 per 1,000 being 13.2% below the national figure. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the 47 crimes represent a manageable proportion of the community, though this does not preclude the need for vigilance. The daily crime count, while low, reflects patterns that may be influenced by local factors such as the built-up nature of the area and the specific distribution of residential and commercial spaces. These figures are most useful when compared to other months within the same area, offering insights into seasonal or situational fluctuations that could inform community safety strategies.
