Kiveton Park Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Kiveton Park's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 4.5 per 1,000 residents, a figure 41.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked improvement in local safety reflects a combination of seasonal factors and community dynamics, with the area experiencing a lower incidence of both property and violent crimes compared to national benchmarks. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.5% of total incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (25.0%) and vehicle crime (9.4%). These patterns suggest a built-up area with a relatively low level of severe crime, though the presence of violent offences indicates ongoing challenges in maintaining public safety. The seasonal context of October—marked by shorter evenings, the transition to winter, and the approach of Halloween—may have influenced activity levels, with darker hours potentially reducing opportunities for some crimes while increasing others. The area's vehicle crime rate of 0.4 per 1,000 residents was 5% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect the limited presence of high-traffic zones or the effectiveness of local deterrents such as CCTV and community patrols. However, the unexpected surge in shoplifting and robbery, both of which doubled from zero to two and one incidents respectively, highlights a shift in criminal focus that warrants further analysis. These trends could be linked to local retail patterns, such as the timing of seasonal sales or the proximity of high-street areas to residential zones, though the absence of specific data on retail activity means this remains speculative. Overall, Kiveton Park's crime profile in October 2025 illustrates a combination of demographic factors, geographical characteristics, and seasonal influences, with the area demonstrating both strengths and areas for improvement in its approach to crime prevention.

October 2025 witnessed a stark contrast in crime trends, with shoplifting and robbery both doubling from zero to two and one incidents respectively—a 100% increase for both categories. This surge in property-related offences, despite the overall crime rate being 41.6% below the UK average, suggests a shift in criminal focus that merits closer attention. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour fell by 57.9% and public order offences dropped by 71.4%, indicating a possible reduction in disruptive activity during the month. The area's violent crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents was 36% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, a figure that aligns with the broader trend of Kiveton Park being a safer area. However, the 52% gap in shoplifting rates compared to the UK average raises questions about local factors—such as retail presence or seasonal shopping patterns—that may contribute to this divergence.

Kiveton Park's crime rate in October 2025 dropped by 38.5% compared to the previous month, reflecting a marked improvement in local safety. With 32 total crimes reported over 31 days, the area experienced roughly one crime per day—significantly lower than the 7.3 per 1,000 residents recorded in September. This monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 223 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in the built-up area. When contextualised against the population of 7,151, the crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents highlights Kiveton Park's position as a safer area compared to the UK average. The reduction in anti-social behaviour by 57.9% and public order offences by 71.4% suggests a possible shift in local activity patterns, potentially influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and the approach of Halloween. These changes may indicate a combination of community engagement, increased visibility during darker hours, or the natural ebb and flow of activity in a small urban setting.
