Deepcar Crime Rate October 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In Deepcar, October 2023 revealed a pronounced imbalance between violent and property crime, with the former accounting for 41.7% of all incidents compared to 25.0% for anti-social behaviour and 8.3% each for public order and vehicle crime. The overall crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents placed the area 46.2% below the UK average of 8.0, highlighting a significant deviation from national trends. This disparity may stem from Deepcar’s built-up nature within Sheffield, where higher population density and urban infrastructure could influence crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.8 per 1,000, were 33% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as community engagement or policing efforts may mitigate violent crime. However, the seasonal context of October—marked by darker evenings and the Halloween period—could have contributed to fluctuations in anti-social behaviour and public order incidents. The relatively low rate of property crime, despite a 100% increase in bicycle theft, indicates that other property-related offences, such as burglary or vehicle crime, remained subdued. This contrast with the UK average underscores the need to consider local dynamics, such as Deepcar’s proximity to Sheffield’s broader urban network, which may influence both crime types and policing priorities.

October 2023 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, with one reported incident compared to none in September. This spike may reflect heightened activity during darker evenings or increased cycling in local areas. Meanwhile, violent crime decreased by 9.1%, with 10 reported incidents compared to 11 in September. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also fell, by 50% and 80% respectively, potentially linked to the transition into autumn and reduced social gatherings. Deepcar’s violent crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 is 33% below the UK average of 2.7, indicating a relatively safer environment for residents compared to other parts of the country. The sharp drop in criminal damage and arson by 80% suggests a possible reduction in targeted vandalism or arson incidents, though the cause remains unclear without further data.

The crime rate in Deepcar for October 2023 stood at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, a 29.4% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.0. This decline aligns with broader seasonal patterns, as October’s shorter days and cooler temperatures may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in October, reflecting a manageable level of activity relative to its population of 5,648. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 235 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents within the local community. When viewed against the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000, Deepcar’s rate remains significantly lower, suggesting that the area’s built-up character within Sheffield may contribute to a more controlled environment compared to other regions. The reduction in violent crime by 9.1% and the sharp drop in criminal damage and arson by 80% further illustrate a shift in the nature of incidents, influenced by local policing strategies or seasonal factors.
