Kiveton Park Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.2 per 1,000 residents, 15.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure, while showing a 37.6% increase from the previous month's 4.5 per 1,000, remains in line with the area's generally lower crime profile compared to national trends. The top three crime types were violence and sexual offences (9 incidents, 20.5% of total), shoplifting (7 incidents, 15.9%), and public order offences (5 incidents, 11.4%). These patterns align with the seasonal context of November, which includes Bonfire Night and the onset of Black Friday shopping, both of which may contribute to spikes in retail-related crimes. Violence and sexual offences, though still the most common category, fell by 25% month-on-month, possibly reflecting reduced social activity as evenings grew darker. Shoplifting's sharp rise, however, suggests increased pressure on local retailers during the festive period. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour dropped by 37.5%, due to community initiatives or the natural ebb of seasonal events. The area's built-up character within Rotherham, with its mix of residential and commercial zones, likely influences these dynamics, as retail centres and public spaces become focal points for both crime and policing efforts.

November saw a 250% surge in shoplifting, jumping from 2 to 7 incidents, likely tied to Black Friday promotions and the start of the festive shopping season. Other theft also spiked by 400%, rising from 1 to 5 cases, suggesting heightened opportunism in retail areas. In contrast, anti-social behaviour dropped by 37.5%, and violence and sexual offences fell by 25%, possibly due to the shorter evenings and reduced social activity during the month. Shoplifting's rate of 1.0 per 1,000 is 59% above the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, highlighting a localised challenge. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour's rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 34% below the UK average, indicating effective community policing or seasonal factors dampening such incidents.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in November 2025 rose by 37.6% compared to the previous month, climbing from 4.5 to 6.2 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though notable, still positions the area 15.1% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. Daily crime figures show an average of one reported incident per day, a rate that, while low, reflects the concentrated nature of incidents in a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 163 residents, a monthly exposure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to larger urban centres. This figure, when considered alongside the population of 7,151, suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. However, the rise in specific categories like shoplifting and public order offences indicates localized pressures that warrant closer attention.
