Deepcar Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar’s crime profile in July 2024 reveals a striking emphasis on violent and sexual offences, which accounted for 40% of all reported crimes, compared to 16.7% for anti-social behaviour and 13.3% for public order offences. This distribution, while lower than the UK average in most categories, suggests a combination of local factors, including the area’s urban character and the seasonal dynamics of summer. The overall crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents places Deepcar 36.9% below the UK’s 8.4 per 1,000, a gap that may reflect effective policing, community engagement, or the area’s relatively smaller population. July’s peak season, with its festivals, outdoor events, and extended daylight hours, likely contributed to the rise in violent crimes, as crowded public spaces can heighten opportunities for such incidents. However, the absence of significant increases in property crimes, such as burglary or vehicle theft, contrasts with the UK average, where these categories often dominate. This divergence could indicate that Deepcar’s built-up nature within Sheffield, combined with its proximity to amenities and services, fosters a different crime ecology. The lower prevalence of anti-social behaviour and drug-related crimes, both of which are 37–57% below the UK average, further highlights the area’s unique position. While the spike in burglary and criminal damage during July raises questions about local vulnerabilities, the overall pattern underscores a community that, despite its urban setting, maintains a crime profile significantly safer than the national average.

July saw a marked shift in Deepcar’s crime mix, with violent crimes accounting for 40% of the total, compared to 16.7% for anti-social behaviour and 13.3% for public order offences. This balance suggests a focus on interpersonal crime, potentially influenced by the summer season’s social dynamics. Burglary rates surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents, a spike that may reflect increased opportunities during July’s festivals and events. Conversely, other theft fell by 50%, from two to one incident, a drop that could indicate improved security measures or seasonal changes in criminal activity. Deepcar’s violent crime rate (2.1 per 1,000) is 26% below the UK average, while public order offences (0.7 per 1,000) are 9% above, illustrating a nuanced comparison to national trends. These fluctuations highlight the area’s unique context, where summer tourism and local events may drive certain crime patterns.

Deepcar’s crime rate in July 2024 rose by 36.2% compared to June, climbing from 3.9 to 5.3 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area still maintains a crime rate 36.9% below the UK average, underscoring its relatively safer position nationally. On a daily basis, Deepcar recorded roughly one crime per day in July, a figure that, while consistent with local patterns, contrasts sharply with the UK’s higher overall rate. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 188 residents, a statistic that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 5,648, highlights the low frequency of incidents relative to the size of the community. This monthly exposure rate suggests that most residents are unlikely to directly encounter crime, even with the recent uptick. The comparison to the UK average reinforces that Deepcar’s crime profile remains distinct, with specific categories like violence and anti-social behaviour consistently below national levels, even as others, such as burglary, show notable localised increases.
