Kiveton Park Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park’s crime rate for July 2025 stood at 6.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 26.7% below the UK average of 8.6. This relatively low rate, despite the area’s built-up nature, suggests a combination of community initiatives and seasonal factors may be influencing trends. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 40% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (17.8%) and public order offences (13.3%). The summer months, with schools out and tourism at its peak, likely contribute to fluctuations in crime patterns. For instance, the 25% increase in public order offences compared to the UK average may reflect heightened activity in public spaces during festivals and events. However, the area’s overall safety profile remains strong, with violent crime rates 18% below the UK average and anti-social behaviour 29% below. This contrast highlights the importance of local context: while Kiveton Park’s proximity to Rotherham’s urban core may drive some crime, its smaller size and community focus appear to mitigate risks. The seasonal context of July—marked by festivals, outdoor events, and extended daylight—may also explain the rise in shoplifting and public order incidents, as these factors often correlate with increased foot traffic and social interactions. Residents should remain vigilant, particularly in retail areas and during large events, but the overall data indicates a manageable crime environment.

July 2025 saw sharp increases in shoplifting, criminal damage and arson, and possession of weapons—each rising by 100% or more compared to June. Shoplifting, now at three incidents, rose from one in the previous month, likely driven by summer festivals and increased retail activity. Public order offences, at 0.8 per 1,000, exceeded the UK average by 25%, possibly linked to the area’s built-up nature and summer events. Conversely, vehicle crime plummeted by 80%, from five to one, potentially due to reduced car parking in residential areas during school holidays. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 42.9%, from 14 to eight, though this remains a concern given its historical prevalence. Residents should be mindful of rising shoplifting risks and the potential for public order issues in high-traffic areas during peak summer months.

Kiveton Park’s crime rate in July 2025 fell by 18.2% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.7 to 6.3 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with the area’s historically lower crime profile relative to the UK average, which remains 26.7% below the national figure. On a daily basis, the area recorded one crime for every 31 days, translating to roughly one incident per day. Over the course of the month, this equated to one reported crime for every 159 residents—a figure that, while low, underscores the need for continued vigilance. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area’s small size and built-up nature contribute to a concentrated but manageable crime profile. While the overall rate is down, the shift in crime types—particularly the rise in shoplifting and public order offences—suggests that seasonal factors, such as festivals and increased foot traffic, may be influencing local patterns. These changes warrant attention from residents and local authorities alike.
