Killamarsh Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Killamarsh, the crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 in October 2025 translates to a daily risk of approximately one reported crime for every 264 residents over the course of the month. This figure is 50.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, placing the area in a safer position compared to the national trend. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.2% of all incidents, followed by burglary (12.9%) and anti-social behaviour (12.9%). These figures suggest a focus on interpersonal conflict and property-related issues, which may be influenced by seasonal factors such as darker evenings and the approach of Halloween. The relatively low rate of violent crime compared to the UK average—specifically 36% below for violence and sexual offences—could reflect community cohesion efforts or effective local policing strategies. However, the higher-than-average burglary rate (67% above UK levels) warrants attention, linked to targeted property crime in specific areas. The overall crime profile appears to be shaped by a combination of local demographics and seasonal rhythms, with October’s shorter days and increased indoor activity influencing patterns of anti-social behaviour and public order offences.

October 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with other theft increasing by 200% and burglary rising by 100% compared to the previous month. These spikes, though still modest in absolute terms, highlight vulnerabilities in securing personal property, possibly exacerbated by Halloween-related activity or targeted opportunistic behaviour. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 75%, and public order offences dropped by 60%, suggesting a possible seasonal decline in disruptive behaviour as the month progressed. The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark contrast between local and national trends: while violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category in Killamarsh, this rate is 36% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, is 60% below the UK figure, potentially reflecting community engagement initiatives or the influence of local norms. The relatively high burglary rate—67% above the UK average—presents a unique challenge, with 4 incidents reported in October. For residents, this means heightened vigilance around home security, particularly during periods of increased foot traffic or after-hours activity.

Killamarsh’s crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 in October 2025 represents a 29.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.4 per 1,000, indicating a short-term improvement in public safety. On a daily basis, this equates to roughly one crime reported per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the importance of consistent community vigilance. Over the course of the month, the 31 reported crimes affected approximately 1 in every 264 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is significantly lower than many comparable areas. This statistic, when contextualised within Killamarsh’s population of 8,187, suggests that the majority of residents are not directly impacted by crime on a regular basis. However, the disparity between local and national trends—such as burglary being 67% above the UK average—highlights specific challenges that may require targeted interventions. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that while the overall rate is low, certain categories like burglary demand closer attention, as they deviate from the national norm. For residents, this means that while the area is generally safer than the UK average, particular crime types may still require awareness and preventive measures.
