North Anston Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in North Anston during September 2025 reveals a distinct profile shaped by local dynamics and seasonal factors. Anti-social behaviour emerged as the most prevalent category, accounting for 30.8% of all reported crimes, followed by criminal damage and arson (23.1%). These figures suggest a focus on disorderly conduct and property-related incidents, which may be influenced by the area's built-up nature and the transitional period of September. The overall crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents is 43.2% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores North Anston's relatively safer environment. However, this safety is not uniform across all categories: anti-social behaviour and criminal damage are both significantly above the UK average, indicating areas for targeted intervention. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return to school and university freshers—may contribute to the rise in anti-social behaviour, as increased foot traffic and social interactions in public spaces could amplify such incidents. Conversely, the decline in violence and sexual offences (down 55.6% from the previous month) may reflect the stabilisation of social activity as the academic term begins. The area's built-up character within Rotherham likely plays a role in these patterns, with commercial and residential zones driving both anti-social behaviour and property crimes. While the overall crime rate remains low, the disproportionate prevalence of certain categories highlights the need for nuanced approaches to crime prevention that address the specific challenges of this urbanised locality.

September 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime categories, with anti-social behaviour, criminal damage and arson, and burglary each rising by 100% compared to the previous month. This sharp increase in anti-social behaviour (8 incidents, 30.8% of total crimes) and criminal damage (6 incidents, 23.1%) contrasts with a 66.7% drop in public order offences, which fell from six to two. The violence and sexual offences category also decreased by 55.6%, from nine to four, a shift that may align with seasonal factors such as the start of the academic year. Anti-social behaviour in North Anston is 11% above the UK average (1.3 vs 1.2 per 1,000), while criminal damage and arson are 89% above the national rate (1.0 vs 0.5 per 1,000). These trends suggest a combination of local dynamics and broader patterns. For residents, the rise in anti-social behaviour may warrant attention to community engagement strategies in high-traffic areas.

North Anston's crime rate in September 2025 (4.2 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 16.1% decrease from the previous month's 5.0 per 1,000, marking a downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the monthly total of 26 crimes. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 237 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. Compared to the UK average, North Anston's overall crime rate remains 43.2% below the national figure of 7.4 per 1,000, a contrast that highlights the area's unique characteristics. The population of 6,165 residents further contextualises these figures, showing that the crime rate is proportionally lower than the national average. This suggests that local factors—such as community initiatives or geographical features—may contribute to the area's safer profile, though further analysis would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.
