Killamarsh Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Killamarsh maintained a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 42.4% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's relative safety compared to national trends, though the data reveals a nuanced picture of crime distribution. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 30% of all incidents, closely followed by anti-social behaviour (20%) and public order offences (17.5%), indicating a mix of interpersonal and community-level challenges. The balance between property and violent crimes was particularly notable, with each category contributing 30% of the total reported incidents. This parity is unusual, as UK data typically shows a higher prevalence of violent crime. Seasonal factors may play a role, as the start of summer could influence patterns such as increased public order issues or retail-related crimes. However, the area's overall low crime rate, combined with specific categories like anti-social behaviour being 32% below the UK average, suggests a combination of effective local policing, community initiatives, or demographic characteristics that mitigate broader national trends. The absence of significant spikes in property crimes, despite the summer season, further underscores the area's unique dynamics, which may include lower foot traffic in key areas or targeted crime prevention efforts. This month's data, while reflecting a stable crime environment, invites further analysis to understand how local factors contribute to this divergence from UK-wide patterns.

June 2023 saw a 100% increase in shoplifting and criminal damage and arson compared to the previous month, suggesting a potential uptick in opportunistic crimes during summer. Conversely, other theft and violence and sexual offences both declined, with the latter falling by 14.3% to 12 incidents. This shift in crime mix, with property and violent crimes remaining evenly matched, contrasts with the UK average, where violent offences typically dominate. Anti-social behaviour in Killamarsh was 32% below the UK average, while public order offences were 34% above, indicating a combination of local dynamics. For residents, the 100% rise in shoplifting may signal increased retail activity or targeted crime, offering a concrete data point for local businesses to consider.

Killamarsh's June 2023 crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents marks a 4.7% decrease from the previous month's 5.1 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but sustained reduction in overall crime. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 205 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in terms of population density. Daily crime counts averaged approximately one incident per day, a low frequency that aligns with the area's broader trend of remaining significantly below the UK average. This monthly exposure figure, while seemingly modest, underscores the relative safety of the built-up area compared to national benchmarks. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Killamarsh's crime profile, though not absent of activity, remains characterised by a lower incidence of reported incidents compared to other regions. This consistency in low crime levels may be influenced by local factors such as community engagement, policing strategies, or the area's demographic makeup, though can be asserted without further data.
