Kiveton Park Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park’s per-capita crime risk in August 2025 translates to one reported incident for every 204 residents, a figure that underscores the area’s relatively secure environment. With a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000, the built-up area within Rotherham sits 39.5% below the UK average, a gap that reflects both effective local policing and the community’s character. As a semi-rural urban enclave, Kiveton Park’s crime profile is shaped by its proximity to Rotherham’s industrial core and its seasonal rhythms. August, a peak holiday month, typically sees increased tourism and empty homes, yet the area’s crime rate remained stable despite these factors. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.4% of all crimes, a proportion that, while significant, is 48% below the UK average. This suggests that while interpersonal crime remains a local concern, its scale is mitigated by the area’s compact, closely-knit nature. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences followed, with the latter category slightly exceeding the UK average by 21%. This discrepancy may relate to August’s extended evenings and community events. The data illustrates a community where crime is present but manageable, with patterns that align more closely with urban safety benchmarks than with the broader UK average.

August saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with drug-related offences surging by 100% (from 1 to 2 incidents) and robbery cases doubling from zero to one. This contrasts with a 38.9% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 18 to 11, marking one of the most significant monthly drops in this category. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 37.5%, from eight to five, potentially reflecting seasonal changes in community activity. Meanwhile, public order offences rose 21% above the UK average, a minor anomaly that may relate to increased outdoor events during the summer. For residents, the 100% increase in drug-related crimes highlights a specific local concern, though the overall rate remains well below national benchmarks. This mix of trends illustrates a combination of localised issues and broader regional safety outcomes.

In August 2025, Kiveton Park’s crime rate dropped by 22.3% compared to July’s 6.3 per 1,000, now standing at 4.9 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the UK’s safest built-up regions, with a rate 39.5% below the national average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 204 residents, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Daily crime activity averaged one incident per day, a rate that, while consistent with local rhythms, remains low for an urban area. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a 0.49% chance of experiencing a crime in August, a probability that aligns with the area’s historical trend of subdued criminal activity. This month’s figures reinforce Kiveton Park’s status as a relatively secure community, though the slight uptick in drug-related crimes suggests emerging local challenges that warrant monitoring.
