Thurcroft Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Thurcroft's November 2025 crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 residents places it 26% above the UK average of 7.3, reflecting a combination of local factors and seasonal dynamics. Violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, accounting for 36.8% of all reported crimes, with a rate of 3.4 per 1,000 — 32% above the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.4 per 1,000, is 126% above the national figure, suggesting heightened tensions in public spaces during the late autumn period. This pattern may align with the area’s built-up character within Rotherham, where high-density living and limited green space could contribute to increased social friction. The month’s seasonal context — marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and darker evenings — may have amplified certain crime pressures, particularly around retail areas and community hubs. Shoplifting rates are 21% below the UK average, a potential reflection of local retail strategies or community policing efforts. However, the surge in vehicle crime — 1.0 per 1,000, 150% above the UK average — raises questions about parking infrastructure or unsecured vehicles in residential zones. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions that address both persistent and emerging crime challenges in this urbanised area.

November 2025 saw stark contrasts in Thurcroft’s crime trends. Violence and sexual offences plummeted by 54.3% from 46 to 21 incidents, a drop that may reflect the impact of community safety initiatives or seasonal shifts in criminal activity. Conversely, vehicle crime surged by 100%, rising from 3 to 6 cases, likely linked to increased car theft opportunities during darker evenings or unsecured parking in residential areas. Robbery also doubled from 0 to 2 cases, a sharp increase that could signal a new pattern of targeted attacks. Anti-social behaviour remained high, with a rate of 2.4 per 1,000 — 126% above the UK average — a statistic that may point to ongoing challenges in managing public spaces during peak hours. This month’s data also revealed a surprising anomaly: shoplifting rates were 21% below the UK average at 0.5 per 1,000. This could indicate effective retail security measures or a lower incidence of opportunistic theft in local stores. The juxtaposition of these trends — a dramatic drop in violent crime alongside rising property-related offences — underscores the need for nuanced crime prevention strategies that address both immediate and long-term risks.

Thurcroft’s November 2025 crime rate of 9.2 per 1,000 marks a 32.9% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 13.7, a significant shift that may reflect the impact of seasonal transitions or temporary crime reduction efforts. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 2 crimes per day, a figure that, while seemingly low, translates to 1 reported crime for every 109 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate highlights the frequency of incidents relative to the population of 6,208, illustrating that Thurcroft’s residents face a higher proportion of crime compared to the UK average. The area’s built-up nature within Rotherham likely influences this statistic, as urban environments often experience higher crime rates due to factors like population density and economic diversity. While the overall rate has fallen from the previous month, the persistence of categories like anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime — both significantly above UK averages — suggests that underlying issues remain unresolved. This contrast between short-term reductions and sustained disparities in specific crime types calls for targeted interventions that address both immediate concerns and systemic challenges in this urbanised setting.
