Killamarsh Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Killamarsh’s July 2025 crime rate of 6.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 24.4% below the UK average of 8.6, reflecting a generally safer environment compared to national trends. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.5% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (24.5%) and public order offences (15.1%). This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes make up a smaller proportion of total offences. The summer months, with schools out and festivals in full swing, may have contributed to the rise in public order issues. The area’s lower rates for property crimes—such as vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000, 49% below UK average) and burglary (0.4 per 1,000, 48% above UK average)—suggest that while property-related offences are less common, they are not entirely absent. The overall crime profile aligns with Killamarsh’s character as a smaller, built-up area within North East Derbyshire, where community dynamics and seasonal events may play a role in shaping crime patterns. However, the sharp increase in public order offences raises questions about how local initiatives or external factors might influence these trends, particularly as the summer season progresses.

July 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 8 incidents, marking the most significant jump in any category. This spike, coupled with a 160% rise in anti-social behaviour and a 100% increase in violence and sexual offences, suggests a shift in the crime mix toward more disruptive incidents. Violent crimes accounted for 41.5% of all offences, far exceeding the UK average for this category (3.0 per 1,000). Meanwhile, vehicle crime dropped by 33.3%, and criminal damage and arson fell by 25%, indicating a possible reduction in property-related incidents. The area’s public order offences, now at 1.0 per 1,000, are 56% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 49% lower rate for vehicle crime. These divergent trends may reflect the influence of summer events, which could be amplifying public order issues while reducing opportunities for vehicle-related crimes.

Killamarsh’s crime rate in July 2025 rose sharply to 6.5 per 1,000 residents, a 76.8% increase from the previous month’s rate of 3.7. This surge, though still below the UK average of 8.6, highlights a notable shift in local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, translating to one reported crime for every 154 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Killamarsh compared to the UK average, but the month-on-month jump suggests a potential seasonal influence. The population context reveals that, despite the rise, the area remains safer than the national average, with crime rates significantly lower in categories such as vehicle crime (49% below UK average) and drug-related offences (64% below). However, the increase in public order offences and anti-social behaviour raises questions about how summer activities, such as festivals and extended outdoor events, may be impacting local dynamics. Residents may find the daily crime count a useful benchmark for understanding the scale of incidents in their neighbourhood.
