Violence and sexual offences dominated Kiveton Park's crime profile in March 2025, accounting for 32.1% of all reported incidents. This category, at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, was 12% below the UK average, a contrast to anti-social behaviour, which contributed 26.4% of total crimes and was 60% above the national rate. The area's overall crime rate of 7.4 per 1,000 residents placed it 5.1% below the UK average, reflecting a generally safer profile despite the prominence of violent crime. Seasonal factors, such as the transition to spring and the lengthening of evenings, likely influenced patterns of activity and associated risks. Anti-social behaviour, while significantly above the UK average, may be tied to the area's built-up nature and potential for concentrated social interactions. Burglary.7 per 1,000, was 150% above the UK average, suggesting local vulnerabilities not mirrored nationally. These patterns align with typical urban dynamics, where proximity to services and communal spaces can drive both anti-social and violent incidents. The crime mix highlights the need for tailored approaches to address specific local challenges while maintaining the area's comparatively lower overall rates.

March 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime categories, with robbery, possession of weapons, and burglary each doubling from February's figures. Robbery, in particular, rose from 0 to 2 incidents, a 100% increase, which may partly reflect seasonal changes as spring activities intensify. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped sharply by 72.7%, from 11 to 3, potentially linked to reduced outdoor activity as daylight hours increased. Anti-social behaviour remained a dominant category, contributing 26.4% of total crimes, though it was 60% above the UK average for this category. Burglary, at 0.7 per 1,000, was 150% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 47% below average for criminal damage and arson. These shifts illustrate a combination of local conditions and broader regional trends, with some categories diverging sharply from national norms.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in March 2025 rose to 7.4 per 1,000 residents, a 23.3% increase from February's 6.0 per 1,000. This upward shift contrasts with the area's overall 5.1% below the UK average, highlighting a nuanced picture. Daily crime figures reveal 2 incidents per day on average, a rate that, while locally relevant, does not directly compare to national daily averages. Over the course of March, one crime occurred for every 135 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for the community. With a population of 7,151, this translates to a manageable but notable frequency. The change in rate may partly reflect seasonal dynamics as evenings lengthen, potentially altering patterns of public activity and associated risks. The comparison to the UK average underscores Kiveton Park's relatively safer profile, despite the month-on-month rise, suggesting broader contextual factors may influence local crime trends.
