Kiveton Park Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park's crime profile in April 2025 reveals a striking balance between property and violent crime, with both categories accounting for 34.3% of total incidents. This equilibrium contrasts with the broader UK trend, where violent crime typically dominates. At 4.9 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area's overall rate is 36.4% below the UK average of 7.7, reflecting a consistently safer environment compared to national benchmarks. Violence and sexual offences emerged as the most prevalent category, though they remain 35% below the UK average for this type. The seasonal context of April—a time of Easter celebrations and milder spring weather—may influence patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to public order offences (11.4% of total crimes). However, the absence of sharp spikes in any category suggests stability rather than volatility. Anti-social behaviour. from March, still accounts for 8.6% of crimes, hinting at persistent local tensions. The area's relatively low burglary rate (5.7% of total crimes) and 82% below-average criminal damage figures may reflect strong community cohesion or effective local policing. This balance between property and violent crime could indicate a mature, stable community where neither category dominates, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with violent crimes matching property crimes for the first time this year. Other theft and other crime categories both increased by 100% month-on-month, rising from 1 to 2 incidents each. This suggests emerging trends in minor offences that warrant closer attention. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped 78.6% from March, a stark contrast to the previous month's 14 incidents. Burglary also fell 60% to 2 incidents, though this remains 11% above the UK average for this category. The balance between property and violent crime—both at 12 incidents—marks a departure from typical patterns where property crime often dominates in built-up areas. Violence and sexual offences. of total crimes, remain significantly below the UK average for this category (35% below). Public order offences, at 11.4% of total crimes, slightly exceed the UK average by 11%, possibly linked to Easter-related activity. For residents, the 100% increase in 'other theft' and 'other crime' categories highlights the need for vigilance in less obvious areas of criminal activity.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in April 2025 (4.9 per 1,000) represents a 34.0% decrease from March's 7.4, underscoring a sustained downward trend. This reduction translates to a local daily figure of roughly 1 crime per day, a manageable frequency for a community of 7,151 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 204 residents—a rate that, while non-zero, is markedly lower than the UK average. When compared to the national context, Kiveton Park's performance is particularly notable in violent crime categories, where rates are 35% below the UK average. However, public order offences (11% above UK average) and 'other crime' (76% above UK average) highlight specific vulnerabilities. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a 0.49% chance of experiencing a crime in April, significantly lower than the UK's 0.77% rate. This contrast is especially pronounced in burglary and criminal damage, where local rates are 82% and 89% below national figures respectively. These comparisons suggest a community that, while not immune to crime, has achieved a level of safety that diverges from national trends. The 34% monthly decline also indicates that local efforts—whether through policing, community engagement, or environmental design—may be contributing to this positive trajectory.
