Kiveton Park Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of 7,151 residents, Kiveton Park reported 52 crimes in September 2025, equating to a crime rate of 7.3 per 1,000 people. This places the built-up area 1.4% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, reflecting a slightly safer profile compared to national trends. The most prevalent crime category was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 36.5% of all incidents (19 cases), followed by violence and sexual offences (16 cases, 30.8%) and public order offences (7 cases, 13.5%). These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of late summer, as the area transitions from the end of the school holiday season to the start of term. Anti-social behaviour rates in Kiveton Park were 131% higher than the UK average, likely influenced by the proximity to Rotherham’s urban core and the influx of students returning to local colleges. The lower-than-average violent crime rate (15% below UK norms) may reflect community policing efforts or the area’s relatively stable demographic composition. Public order offences, while below the national average for vehicle crime, showed an 85% increase compared to UK levels, suggesting local factors such as increased youth activity in public spaces during the month. The seasonal context of September—marking the return of students and the start of term—may contribute to the surge in anti-social behaviour, as seen in similar areas with comparable educational institutions.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 280% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from five incidents in August to 19 cases. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in vehicle crime (from zero to two incidents) and a 100% increase in possession of weapons (from zero to one case), highlights sharp shifts in the crime profile. Anti-social behaviour, already 131% above the UK average, remains the dominant concern, with its rate (2.7 per 1,000) far exceeding the national figure of 1.2 per 1,000. In contrast, violent crime rates in Kiveton Park were 15% below the UK average (2.2 vs 2.6 per 1,000), a trend consistent with the area’s lower-than-average levels of alcohol-fuelled violence. The decrease in drugs-related offences (50% drop, from two to one incident) and other theft (33.3% decline, from three to two cases) may indicate targeted enforcement or seasonal factors. The 87% increase in 'other crime' (from 0.2 to 0.3 per 1,000) and the 7% rise in burglary (from 0.3 to 0.3 per 1,000) suggest emerging challenges. For residents, the sharp rise in anti-social behaviour—now the most common crime type—may signal a need for increased community engagement or policing in public spaces.

Kiveton Park’s crime rate rose by 48.7% from August 2025 (4.9 per 1,000) to September’s 7.3 per 1,000, marking the most significant monthly increase in recent data. This surge translates to roughly two crimes reported per day in September, a figure that, while low in absolute terms, reflects the area’s small population of 7,151 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 138 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the impact of the anti-social behaviour spike. Comparing this to the UK average, Kiveton Park’s overall rate remains slightly lower (7.3 vs 7.4 per 1,000), though specific categories like anti-social behaviour and public order offences significantly exceed national norms. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area’s crime burden is manageable, with 52 incidents across 7,151 people—equivalent to a 0.7% probability of being involved in a crime. However, the 280% jump in anti-social behaviour suggests a pressing local issue that may require targeted interventions. For context, a resident of Kiveton Park is 131% more likely to encounter anti-social behaviour than the UK average, a disparity that could be linked to the area’s proximity to Rotherham’s urban centres and the influx of students during term time.
