Killamarsh Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Killamarsh's June 2024 crime profile reveals a striking dominance of violent crimes over property-related incidents, a pattern that may reflect local demographics or policing priorities. With a total crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 residents — 54.9% below the UK average of 8.2 — the area continues to demonstrate a marked safety advantage nationally. However, within this low overall rate, 15 violent crimes (50% of total) contrast sharply with just five property crimes, an imbalance that could be linked to the area's character as a built-up area within North East Derbyshire. The breakdown shows that violence and sexual offences, the most common category, remain 35% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour and public order offences also fall significantly below national figures. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the start of summer, a period often associated with increased public activity and potential for disputes in shared spaces. This pattern, while consistent with Killamarsh's historical tendency for lower property crime rates, raises questions about the underlying reasons for the higher proportion of violent incidents compared to other regions. The data also highlights a persistent trend in the area's crime profile: while property crime remains low, violent offences are more prevalent, a dynamic that may warrant further exploration in relation to local social structures or community engagement initiatives.

June 2024 saw significant month-on-month increases in public order offences, which tripled from one to three incidents, and anti-social behaviour, which rose by 133.3% to seven reports. These shifts suggest a growing emphasis on non-violent but disruptive crimes, which may reflect changing community dynamics or seasonal factors such as increased public gatherings. Violent crimes, while still the largest category at 15 incidents (50% of total), remained 35% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Other theft fell by 50%, from two to one incident, a reduction that could indicate improved security measures or altered patterns in personal property crime. The stark contrast between the dominance of violent crimes and the relatively low property crime figures raises questions about local factors influencing this imbalance, such as community engagement or policing strategies in high-risk areas.

Killamarsh's crime rate in June 2024 rose by 57.8% compared to the previous month, increasing from 2.3 to 3.7 per 1,000 residents. This upward shift contrasts with the area's overall position well below the UK average, which remains 54.9% lower. Locally, the monthly exposure figure shows that over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 273 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents in relation to the population. Daily crime counts averaged one incident per day, a figure that, while low, highlights the fluctuation in crime patterns over time. This increase may partly reflect seasonal transitions, as June marks the start of summer, potentially altering local activity levels and public spaces' usage. The comparison with the previous month underscores the need to monitor trends, particularly as the area continues to maintain a crime profile significantly below national benchmarks.
