Killamarsh Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 marked a significant shift in Killamarsh’s crime profile, with public order offences surging by 400% compared to March. This dramatic increase—rising from one incident to five—was the most pronounced month-on-month change, outpacing even the sharp rise in burglary and criminal damage. The area’s overall crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 residents remained 45.5% below the UK average, a consistent trend reflecting Killamarsh’s generally lower crime profile. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, accounted for 50% of all crimes, with a 5.6% monthly decline to 17 incidents. This category’s rate of 2.1 per 1,000 is 20% below the UK average, a pattern likely influenced by Killamarsh’s demographic mix and the presence of community-focused policing initiatives. Anti-social behaviour, the second most frequent category, saw a 47% deficit compared to the UK average.7 per 1,000 rose slightly. Seasonal factors may partly explain these trends: Easter holidays and spring weather often correlate with increased outdoor activity, which could contribute to public order incidents. Meanwhile, the 0.6 per 1,000 rate for public order offences—11% above the UK average—suggests a localised challenge, linked to unregulated events or heightened tensions in public spaces. The data also highlights that property crime remains relatively rare, with burglary at 0.4 per 1,000—48% above the UK average—indicating a need for targeted interventions in residential areas. These findings underscore the importance of balancing seasonal dynamics with sustained community engagement to address emerging patterns.

Public order offences saw a dramatic 400% increase in April 2025, rising from one incident to five. This surge, coupled with a 200% jump in burglary and a 100% rise in criminal damage and arson, contrasts sharply with a 5.6% decline in violence and sexual offences. The area’s violent crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 is 20% below the UK average, a consistent trend for the category. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, remains 47% below the national rate, though the spike in public order offences—now 0.6 per 1,000—exceeds the UK average by 11%. These shifts may partly explain the overall 36.1% monthly increase in crime. Residents might note the unexpected rise in public order incidents, which could relate to increased foot traffic during Easter or spring events. The data also shows that property crime remains relatively low, with burglary at 0.4 per 1,000—48% above the UK average, suggesting local vulnerabilities in residential security.

Killamarsh’s crime rate in April 2025 rose by 36.1% compared to March 2025, increasing from 3.1 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents. This upward trend aligns with seasonal patterns, as Easter and springtime often see heightened outdoor activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day, a figure that reflects the local context rather than a national benchmark. Over the course of April, one crime occurred for roughly every 241 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places the area in a lower percentile compared to UK averages. While the overall crime rate remains 45.5% below the national average, the increase in public order offences and burglary suggests a shift in crime dynamics. The population of 8,187 residents means that each resident faces a relatively low risk of victimisation, though the rise in specific categories warrants attention. This data underscores the importance of contextualising local trends within both seasonal and demographic factors.
