Deepcar Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar’s crime profile in July 2023 reveals a distinct balance between property and violent crimes, with property offences accounting for 56.5% of all reported incidents. This distribution aligns with the area’s likely proximity to retail hubs within Sheffield, a city known for its commercial and industrial zones. The overall crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents places Deepcar 50.6% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences, which constitute 34.8% of crimes in July, remain 50% below the UK average for this category, suggesting a lower prevalence of severe interpersonal crime. This could be attributed to the area’s built-up nature, where community policing and public spaces may contribute to reduced violent incidents. Seasonal factors further shape this picture: July’s peak summer period, marked by school holidays and festivals, may have influenced crime patterns. While outdoor events and tourism could drive property crime, the significant drop in anti-social behaviour—down 81.8% from June—may reflect fewer crowds in residential areas during the month. The sharp rise in shoplifting, however, highlights vulnerabilities in local retail environments, linked to increased foot traffic from nearby attractions. This mix of crime types illustrates a combination of urban characteristics and seasonal dynamics, with property crime dominating but not overwhelming the area’s overall safety profile.

July 2023 marked a dramatic shift in Deepcar’s crime profile, with shoplifting surging by 300% compared to June, rising from one to four incidents. This increase may partly explain the area’s elevated property crime rate, which now constitutes 56.5% of all reported crimes. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 81.8%, a stark contrast to the previous month’s 11 incidents. This decline could reflect seasonal changes, as July’s peak summer period often sees reduced public gatherings in residential areas. Robbery, though rare, rose by 100% to one incident, placing Deepcar 100% above the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, vehicle crime and burglary remained stable, with both at 0.4 per 1,000, slightly below UK averages. For residents, the most immediate concern is the sharp rise in shoplifting, which underscores the need for heightened vigilance in local retail spaces.

July 2023 saw Deepcar’s crime rate drop to 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a 37.9% decrease from June’s 6.6 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as significantly safer than the UK average, which stands at 8.3 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day in July, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity. When considering the monthly exposure, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 246 residents, a figure that contextualises the likelihood of encountering crime in a localised timeframe. This rate is particularly noteworthy when compared to the broader UK context, where the average resident faces a crime roughly every 120 days. The population-scaled perspective further highlights Deepcar’s relative safety, with its smaller community size contributing to a more manageable crime environment. However, the daily figure serves as a reminder that even low rates can have tangible impacts on residents’ sense of security, especially in areas with limited policing resources.
