Ackworth Moor Top Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a continuation of Ackworth Moor Top’s historically low crime profile, with an overall rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents—52.7% below the UK average of 7.4. This figure, while modest in absolute terms, places the area firmly in the lower quartile of national crime statistics. The breakdown of incidents reveals a persistent dominance of violent crime, which accounted for 39.3% of all reported offences, followed by other theft (10.7%) and shoplifting (10.7%). This distribution suggests that local factors, such as the proximity to educational institutions or the nature of the built-up area itself, may influence the types of crime most commonly reported. The seasonal context of September—back-to-school activity and the transition to shorter evenings—may contribute to the observed patterns. Violence and sexual offences in Ackworth Moor Top remain 46% below the UK average, a disparity that could reflect both local policing strategies and the area’s demographic profile. The relatively low incidence of property crime, particularly burglary (7.1% of all crimes), further supports the notion that the area’s built-up character and its community-oriented infrastructure may act as deterrents. These trends, while consistent with broader seasonal rhythms, underscore the importance of contextual analysis when interpreting crime statistics for specific locations.

September 2025 witnessed an 83.3% decline in anti-social behaviour, dropping from six incidents in August to just one. This sharp reduction may partly reflect the start of the school term, as community activity shifts focus to educational institutions. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences decreased by 38.9%, from 18 to 11 incidents, though this category still accounts for 39.3% of all crimes reported—a notable proportion. Conversely, other crime, burglary, and other theft each saw a 100% increase, rising from zero to one, one to two, and zero to three incidents respectively. These upward trends, though modest in absolute terms, highlight areas requiring closer attention. Violence and sexual offences in Ackworth Moor Top remain 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting that while local rates are lower, the category’s share of total crimes remains high compared to national figures.

The crime rate in Ackworth Moor Top for September 2025 stood at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.6% decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.2. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as the transition from summer to autumn often sees a natural dip in outdoor activity and associated crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that, while locally relevant, must be interpreted without direct comparison to national averages. When viewed through a population lens, the monthly exposure translates to one crime for every 289 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. This figure contrasts sharply with the UK average, though direct comparison is not provided here. The local context suggests that community-focused initiatives or seasonal factors may contribute to the sustained low crime levels from the data alone.
