Killamarsh Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Killamarsh's overall crime rate in September 2025 stood at 5.4 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 27% below the UK average of 7.4. This performance, while commendable, masks a combination of trends that require closer examination. Violent crimes—accounting for 54.6% of all incidents—remained the dominant category, with 24 reported cases. This figure, though lower than the UK average for violent offences (2.6 per 1,000), highlights a persistent challenge in addressing interpersonal crime in the area. Anti-social behaviour, while significantly lower than the UK average (40% below), accounted for 13.6% of all crimes, suggesting that community tensions remain a factor. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of students and the onset of shorter evenings—may have influenced the rise in public order offences, which surged by 400% compared to August. This increase, while extreme, is consistent with patterns observed in smaller built-up areas during the transition from summer to autumn. The relatively low levels of property crime (7 incidents, or 15.9% of total) and the marked absence of vehicle crime (only 2 incidents) further illustrate Killamarsh's distinct profile compared to larger urban centres. The area's lower crime rate may be partly attributable to its character as a smaller, more tightly knit community, where local policing and community engagement initiatives likely contribute to a sense of security. However, the sharp rise in public order offences and the sustained focus on violent crime underscore the need for targeted interventions to maintain the current safety levels.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 400% increase in public order offences, rising from one incident to five. This spike, coupled with a 300% rise in criminal damage and arson (from one to four incidents), indicates a shift in the nature of crime in Killamarsh. While violent crimes accounted for 54.6% of all reported incidents, the category was 12% above the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, highlighting a localised trend in interpersonal offences. Anti-social behaviour fell by 45.5% compared to August, declining from 11 to 6 incidents—a drop that may reflect seasonal changes as schools and universities resumed operations. The sharp rise in public order offences, which include disorderly conduct and anti-social behaviour, may partly explain the increased focus on community policing in recent weeks. Residents should be particularly alert to disturbances in public spaces, as these accounted for 11.4% of all crimes reported in September.

Killamarsh's crime rate rose by 12.8% in September 2025 compared to the previous month, moving from 4.8 to 5.4 crimes per 1,000 residents. This increase, while modest in absolute terms, reflects shifts in crime patterns that warrant attention. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one reported crime per day during the month, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in local communities. Over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 186 residents—a monthly aggregate that provides context for how frequently incidents occur relative to the population. This rate remains significantly below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, but the month-on-month rise suggests a potential uptick in activity that may be tied to seasonal factors such as the return of students and the transition into shorter evenings. The population context further illustrates that Killamarsh's lower crime rate is consistent with its character as a smaller, built-up area within North East Derbyshire, where community cohesion and local policing efforts may contribute to sustained safety levels despite the recent increase.
