Rawmarsh Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Rawmarsh during June 2025 reveals a starkly imbalanced profile, dominated by violent and sexual offences, anti-social behaviour, and shoplifting. With a crime rate of 11.4 per 1,000 residents—40.7% above the UK average—the area’s criminal landscape diverges sharply from national trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37% of all reported crimes, a figure that is 47% above the UK average, suggesting a pressing need for targeted interventions in this category. Anti-social behaviour followed closely at 14.9%, also exceeding the UK average by 20%, potentially reflecting community tensions or inadequate public space management. Shoplifting, at 13.5% of total crimes, is 138% above the national rate, a discrepancy that may be linked to the area’s retail infrastructure or enforcement challenges in commercial zones. These patterns contrast with lower-than-UK-average rates for vehicle crime (19% below) and robbery (9% below), which could indicate seasonal or environmental factors influencing these categories. The summer months, with their longer daylight hours and increased foot traffic, may contribute to the prominence of shoplifting and anti-social behaviour, though the high rate of violent crime suggests deeper, year-round issues. This mix of crime types highlights a combination of urban dynamics, community needs, and local policing priorities.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Other crime increased by 140%, rising from five to 12 incidents, a jump that may reflect evolving criminal tactics or unmet community needs. Drug-related offences doubled, rising from three to six, a trend that could indicate shifts in local drug markets or law enforcement focus. Conversely, robbery incidents fell by two-thirds, dropping from three to one, due to seasonal changes or targeted policing efforts. Vehicle crime also declined by 58%, a decrease from 12 to five incidents, which may align with summer patterns where outdoor parking is less common. The balance between violent and property crimes shifted with violence and sexual offences accounting for 37% of all incidents—significantly higher than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. Shoplifting, at 1.5 per 1,000, remains 138% above the UK average, a figure that suggests ongoing challenges in retail environments.

The crime rate in Rawmarsh remained stable at 11.4 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, matching the previous month’s figure. This consistency suggests no abrupt shifts in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately seven reported crimes per day, a figure that reflects the density of incidents within a built-up urban setting. Over the course of the month, one crime was recorded for every 87 residents, a monthly exposure rate that highlights the frequency of incidents relative to the local population. When compared to the UK average, Rawmarsh’s rate is 40.7% higher, a disparity that underscores the area’s unique challenges. While the daily crime count is a useful local metric, it does not account for variations in population density or policing strategies across the country. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher risk of crime than the national average, a factor that may influence community safety initiatives and resource allocation.
