Killamarsh Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 8,187, the 25 crimes recorded in November 2025 equate to 3.1 incidents per 1,000 residents—a rate that is 57.5% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure places Killamarsh among the lowest crime areas in England and Wales. The crime profile shows a clear dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 48% of all incidents (12 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (12%) and property-related offences (20%). This mix contrasts with the national trend, where property crimes typically outpace violent crimes. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—may have influenced patterns. Violent crimes, at 1.5 per 1,000, are 42% below the UK average for this category, while anti-social behaviour is 62% below the national rate. This suggests a combination of community factors, including possibly lower population density or effective local policing, that may contribute to the area's relative safety. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.2 per 1,000) is also notable, 50% below the UK average, reflecting limited public transport use or car ownership patterns. These figures illustrate a built-up area where violent crime remains the most pressing concern, but overall crime levels are significantly lower than the national norm.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to October. Vehicle crime doubled to 2 incidents (up 100%), as did theft from the person and drug-related offences—both rising from zero to one case each. This spike in vehicle crime may be linked to seasonal factors, such as increased car usage during darker evenings or holiday shopping. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), and burglary rates halved (from 4 to 2), possibly due to heightened police presence during the festive season or community initiatives. The balance between violent and property crimes shifted slightly, with violent crimes (12) now accounting for 48% of all reported incidents, compared to property crimes (8) at 32%. This mix is atypical for built-up areas, where property crime typically dominates. Anti-social behaviour, though only 3 incidents, was 62% below the UK average (1.1 per 1,000), suggesting effective local measures to manage public order. The rate of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) is 33% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect the area's smaller scale and lower foot traffic compared to larger urban centres.

The crime rate in November 2025 (3.1 per 1,000) represents a 19.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.8 per 1,000, marking a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, this translates to roughly one crime being reported each day in Killamarsh—a pace that is significantly slower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 327 residents, a figure that underscores the area's relative safety compared to national benchmarks. For context, the UK average monthly exposure is approximately one crime per 140 residents, meaning Killamarsh's rate is nearly three times less frequent. This population-scaled perspective highlights the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies, particularly in reducing violent offences. The drop in burglary rates from 4 to 2 cases may reflect seasonal patterns, such as reduced outdoor activity during colder months, or the impact of targeted policing efforts. While the daily crime count provides a snapshot of activity, the monthly exposure figure offers a broader view of how frequently residents encounter crime in their everyday lives, reinforcing the area's position as one of the safer built-up areas in the region.
