Killamarsh Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Killamarsh’s crime rate in February 2026 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, 7.8% below the UK average of 6.4. This position places the area among the safer built-up regions in England, though the composition of crime types reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 54.2% of all incidents, a stark contrast to the UK average of 38%, suggesting a higher prevalence of interpersonal crime in this locality. Anti-social behaviour, at 12.5% of total crimes, remained 23% below the national rate, a trend that may reflect Killamarsh’s relatively low population density and community-focused policing efforts. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with reduced outdoor activity—likely contributes to the pre-spring lull in property crimes. This divergence from the UK profile could be attributed to the area’s built-up nature, where concentrated populations may foster both social cohesion and conflict. The 66% gap in shoplifting rates compared to the national average highlights the influence of local retail patterns, linked to the area’s role as a commuter hub with fewer high-footfall retail zones. As the year progresses, monitoring these trends against broader seasonal shifts will be critical to understanding Killamarsh’s evolving crime profile.

February saw a 100% increase in shoplifting and burglary, both rising from 0 to 2 incidents. This spike contrasts sharply with a 50% drop in vehicle crime, which fell from 2 to 1. The shift in crime mix is notable: violent crimes now account for 54.2% of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average of 38%. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, remained 23% below the national rate, a trend consistent with Killamarsh’s historical data. For residents, the 38% increase in violent crimes—now at 3.2 per 1,000—may signal a need for heightened awareness in public spaces. The 66% shortfall in shoplifting compared to the UK average suggests local retail environments may be less targeted, due to lower foot traffic during February’s pre-spring lull. These fluctuations underscore the area’s unique crime profile, shaped by both seasonal rhythms and local demographics.

Killamarsh's crime rate in February 2026 rose by 17% compared to January, moving from 5.0 to 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in local crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that may resonate more with residents than aggregated monthly totals. Over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for every 171 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Killamarsh’s experience within a broader demographic context. With a population of 8,187, this statistic highlights how crime is distributed across a relatively small community. While the overall rate remains below the UK average, the rise in violent crimes—now 38% above the national benchmark—suggests a need for localized scrutiny. The area’s built-up character, combined with seasonal factors like reduced outdoor activity, may influence patterns that diverge from the UK average in unexpected ways.
