Killamarsh Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Killamarsh's February 2025 crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents places it 53.7% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the national picture. This marked disparity suggests that local factors—such as lower population density or community characteristics—are likely contributing to the area's consistently low crime levels. The breakdown of incidents reveals anti-social behaviour as the most common category, accounting for 32% of all crimes (8 cases), followed by public order offences (20%, 5 cases) and criminal damage and arson (16%, 4 cases). While anti-social behaviour matched the UK average, public order offences were 36% higher than the national figure, and criminal damage was 4% above. Violent and sexual offences—3 cases in total—were 83% below the UK average of 2.4 per 1,000. This pattern is consistent with the area's seasonal context: February, as a winter month, typically sees lower outdoor activity, which may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. The low overall rate suggests that Killamarsh functions as a relatively stable, low-crime environment, though the above-average figures for public order and criminal damage indicate areas where localised issues may require attention. These findings must be interpreted with care, as they reflect a combination of geographic, demographic, and seasonal influences rather than isolated events.

February 2025 saw a dramatic 83.3% decrease in violence and sexual offences, from 18 to 3 incidents, marking one of the most significant month-on-month declines in recent data. This drop aligns with seasonal patterns typical of winter months, where reduced outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may contribute to lower levels of violent crime. Conversely, public order offences surged by 150%, rising from 2 to 5 cases, suggesting potential spikes in localised tensions or disruptions. Anti-social behaviour also increased by 14.3%, though it remained at the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 66.7%, and criminal damage and arson dropped by 50%, both of which were 46% and 4% below UK averages respectively. These shifts highlight a mixed picture where some categories align closely with national trends while others diverge sharply. For residents, the 1-in-327 monthly exposure rate offers a tangible measure of the area's current safety profile.

Killamarsh's crime rate in February 2025 fell to 3.1 per 1,000 residents, a 46.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as significantly safer than its own recent performance, though it remains far below the UK average. Over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for every 327 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents in a way that relates directly to the local population. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime per day, a manageable frequency that aligns with the broader trend of low overall crime in Killamarsh. The population size of 8,187 residents further underscores that even relatively small numbers of incidents can represent meaningful shifts when viewed against the total population. This comparison highlights Killamarsh's consistent underperformance relative to national averages, with its crime rate being 53.7% lower than the UK's 6.7 per 1,000. However, the area's own month-on-month improvement suggests that local factors may be contributing to a sustained downward trend in crime.
