Kiveton Park Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park’s crime rate for June 2025 stood at 7.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 4.9% improvement over the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a largely stable pattern in a built-up area within Rotherham, where urban dynamics shape crime trends. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.2% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 25.5% and vehicle crime at 9.1%. These figures align with the area’s character as a commuter-oriented suburb with a mix of residential and industrial zones, where public spaces and transport hubs may contribute to higher rates of anti-social and vehicle-related incidents. Seasonal factors also appear to influence the data: June’s longer days and the onset of summer may have encouraged more outdoor activity, increasing opportunities for public order offences. However, the overall rate remains below the UK average, suggesting local initiatives or community engagement efforts may be playing a role in mitigating crime. Violent crime in Kiveton Park (2.9 per 1,000) is only 1% above the UK average, while anti-social behaviour (2.0 per 1,000) is 41% higher, indicating a need for targeted interventions in areas prone to disorder. The relatively low levels of burglary (0.1 per 1,000) and drug-related offences (0.1 per 1,000), both 60-80% below the UK average, could reflect effective policing or community cohesion in residential areas. These patterns highlight the importance of contextual factors in shaping local crime profiles, with urban infrastructure and seasonal rhythms likely influencing trends.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with public order offences increasing by 400% compared to May, jumping from 1 to 5 incidents. This sharp rise may be linked to the start of summer, when increased social activity and outdoor events could strain local policing resources. Similarly, anti-social behaviour surged by 180%, rising from 5 to 14 reports, driven by the same seasonal factors. Other crime also spiked by 300%, with cases escalating from 1 to 4, though the nature of these incidents remains unclear without further breakdown. In contrast, burglary rates dropped 80% from 5 to 1, a reduction that may reflect improved security measures or targeted policing efforts in residential areas. Drug-related offences fell by 66.7%, from 3 to 1, and criminal damage and arson decreased by 50%, from 4 to 2, both of which are 48-63% below the UK average. These declines suggest that some interventions may be yielding results, particularly in reducing low-level crimes. However, the stark increase in public order offences raises concerns about managing community spaces during peak summer activity. Residents may benefit from knowing that while violent crime remains slightly above the UK average, property-related crimes are significantly lower, indicating a combination of local priorities and national trends.

Kiveton Park’s crime rate in June 2025 (7.7 per 1,000) represents a 41.1% increase compared to the previous month’s rate of 5.5 per 1,000, though it still remains below the UK average. This monthly rise translates to roughly 2 crimes per day on average, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents in a community of 7,151 residents. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for every 130 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is relatively low compared to other urban areas but highlights the need for sustained vigilance. The population-scaled perspective shows that while the absolute number of crimes (55) is modest, the proportional increase from May indicates a potential shift in crime patterns. This could be influenced by factors such as school holidays, increased foot traffic in local amenities, or seasonal variations in criminal activity. The daily crime count of 2 per day provides a tangible reference for residents, illustrating that while crime is present, it is not overwhelming in scale. The comparison to the UK average also underscores Kiveton Park’s relative safety, with several categories—such as burglary and drug offences—remaining significantly below national levels. However, the sharp rise in public order offences suggests that local authorities may need to address specific triggers related to summer activities or community engagement strategies.
