Kiveton Park Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In September 2024, Kiveton Park recorded 64 crimes across a population of 7,151 residents, translating to a crime rate of 9.0 per 1,000. This figure, 16.9% higher than the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlights the area's distinct position within national crime trends. The most prevalent offences were violence and sexual offences (22 incidents, 34.4% of total crimes), shoplifting (14 incidents, 21.9%), and vehicle crime (8 incidents, 12.5%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of September, a period marked by the return to school and university freshers' week, which may contribute to heightened tensions and increased opportunities for certain crimes. The dominance of violent offences, 18% above the UK average, suggests localized pressures that could be tied to the area's built-up character and potential overcrowding in shared spaces. Meanwhile, shoplifting's staggering 194% above the UK average may indicate vulnerabilities in local retail security or a response to economic factors affecting consumer behavior. Vehicle crime, though lower than the UK average (144% above), reflects a combination of parking infrastructure and seasonal changes in vehicle usage. The data illustrates an area where concentrated crime activity—particularly in violent and property categories—demands focused policing and community engagement strategies.

September 2024 saw a dramatic surge in shoplifting, with incidents rising from 1 to 14—a 1300% increase—highlighting a sharp shift in crime dynamics. This spike, which places shoplifting at 194% above the UK average, may reflect seasonal pressures tied to back-to-school shopping or increased foot traffic in local retail areas. Concurrently, 'other crime' incidents rose by 150%, suggesting a broadening range of criminal activity beyond traditional categories. In contrast, vehicle crime fell by 38.5% from 13 to 8, possibly linked to reduced daylight hours or changes in parking patterns. Anti-social behaviour remained below the UK average by 15%, indicating a relative stability in public order despite overall increases in other categories. These shifts underscore the need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in September 2024 rose to 9.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 33.4% increase from the previous month's 6.7 per 1,000. This places the area significantly above the UK average, but the local context reveals a nuanced picture. Daily crime activity averaged two incidents per day, a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the concentrated nature of reported crimes in a relatively small population. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 112 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents in a built-up area with limited spatial dispersion. When scaled to the population of 7,151, this rate underscores the disproportionate impact of certain crime types—such as shoplifting and violent offences—on a community where public services and policing resources must address concentrated pockets of activity.
