Rawmarsh Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 presented a complex picture of crime in Rawmarsh, with overall rates remaining 53.4% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 residents. The area’s crime rate stood at 11.2 per 1,000, driven by a combination of violent offences and property-related incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 31.5% of all crimes, significantly exceeding the UK average by 36%, a figure that may be linked to the area’s social dynamics and seasonal pressures. Shoplifting, the second most common crime, surged to 17.7% of total incidents, 217% above the UK average, likely tied to Black Friday shopping activity and the impact of dark evenings on retail security. Anti-social behaviour, while lower than previous months, still contributed 9.4% of crimes, highlighting persistent challenges in community engagement. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night and the start of the festive shopping season—may have influenced both property and violent crime trends. While the overall rate has decreased compared to the previous month, the persistence of high rates in key categories underscores the need for targeted interventions. The data suggests that local initiatives addressing both immediate and systemic factors will be critical in shaping future crime patterns.

November 2025 saw significant reductions in robbery and vehicle crime, with robbery falling by 57.1% (from 7 to 3 incidents) and vehicle crime dropping by 50% (from 12 to 6). These decreases may partly reflect the impact of seasonal factors, such as shorter evenings and reduced foot traffic during Bonfire Night. However, other theft and burglary rates rose slightly, with burglary increasing by 6.7% (from 15 to 16 incidents). This uptick in property crime contrasts with the decline in violent offences, which accounted for 31.5% of all crimes, though violence and sexual offences remain 36% above the UK average. Shoplifting—accounting for 17.7% of crimes—surpasses the UK average by 217%, a figure that may be influenced by Black Friday shopping activity. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 32.1%, suggesting potential improvements in community policing or local initiatives. These shifts in crime type and frequency offer insight into the evolving challenges faced by residents and local authorities.

Rawmarsh's November 2025 crime rate of 11.2 per 1,000 residents marks a 20.4% decrease from the previous month’s 14.0, reflecting a notable shift in local crime patterns. This reduction aligns with a broader trend observed in recent weeks, though the area still maintains a crime rate significantly above the UK average. On a daily basis, the town experiences approximately 7 crimes per day, a figure that, while concerning, is consistent with the area’s historical context. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 90 residents, illustrating the frequency of incidents within a populated built-up area. When considering the town’s population of 18,185, this monthly exposure underscores the need for continued community engagement and policing efforts. While the overall rate has fallen, the persistence of specific crime types—particularly violence and property offences—highlights areas requiring targeted intervention. The comparison to the UK average further emphasizes the urgency of addressing local challenges, as Rawmarsh remains a hotspot for several crime categories. This data, contextualized against the town’s demographics, provides a clearer picture of where resources might be most effectively allocated.
