Deepcar Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar's June 2024 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents places the built-up area 52.4% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the national picture where violent crime dominates. The area's crime profile is shaped by violence and sexual offences (50% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (18.2%) and public order issues (13.6%). This distribution reflects a mix of interpersonal disputes and community-level challenges, consistent with a densely populated urban enclave within Sheffield. Seasonal factors likely play a role in these patterns: as June marks the start of summer, increased daylight hours and social activity may contribute to higher reports of public order issues and violence, though the exact causal link remains hedged. Conversely, the sharp decline in burglary (0.2 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) could indicate improved security measures or a shift in criminal activity towards more populated areas. The low rate of property crime — with only 4 incidents (18.2% of total) — further distinguishes Deepcar from the UK average, where property crimes often account for a larger share. This suggests a unique dynamic within the area, influenced by its location within Sheffield, where community policing or local initiatives may have a measurable impact. The data also highlights a 31% reduction in other theft compared to the UK average, a trend that may be linked to the area's built-up character, where theft from persons or vehicles is less prevalent than in more sprawling or rural regions. These figures illustrate a relatively stable environment, though the interplay of seasonal and local factors means the profile could shift in coming months.

June 2024 marked a stark shift in Deepcar's crime profile, with other theft cases doubling from zero to two — a 100% increase — and public order offences rising by 50% to three incidents. These changes contrast with a significant 80% drop in burglary cases, which fell from five to one, and a 50% decrease in criminal damage and arson. The area's violent crime rate remains 28% below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 50% of all reported crimes. This mix suggests a focus on interpersonal disputes over property-related crimes, a trend consistent with built-up areas where community interactions dominate. The 33% reduction in burglary compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) may reflect seasonal factors, as summer months often see increased foot traffic in local areas, potentially deterring opportunistic theft. Residents might find the 50% decrease in anti-social behaviour — now at 0.7 per 1,000 — particularly noteworthy, as this category has historically been a concern in urban centres.

Deepcar's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 3.9 per 1,000 residents, a 24.0% decrease from the previous month's 5.1 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the UK's safest built-up regions, with crime levels 52.4% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period — a figure that, while localised, underscores the low frequency of incidents relative to similar urban pockets. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for every 257 residents over the course of the month. For context, this exposure rate is significantly lower than many comparable areas in the North of England, though direct comparisons to the UK average are not available for this metric. The monthly aggregate highlights a pattern of stability in violent crime and a marked reduction in property-related incidents, suggesting community or environmental factors may be influencing the trend. However, the absence of UK-level daily or monthly exposure figures means local context remains central to interpreting these numbers.
