Deepcar Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In February 2025, Deepcar’s crime rate stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 31.3% below the UK average of 6.7. This translates to one reported crime for roughly every 217 residents over the course of the month. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 26.9% of all recorded incidents, followed by vehicle crime (15.4%) and shoplifting (15.4%). These figures reflect a generally low-risk environment compared to national trends. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.2 per 1,000, were 49% below the UK average, likely influenced by Deepcar’s urban setting and local policing strategies. However, vehicle crime in the area was 89% higher than the UK average, a pattern consistent with built-up areas where car ownership is high and parking is limited. The seasonal context of February—a winter month with reduced outdoor activity—may have contributed to lower overall crime rates, though the sharp increase in criminal damage and arson (up 200% from January) suggests other factors at play. This mix of trends highlights the complexity of local crime dynamics, shaped by both geographic and temporal variables.

February 2025 saw a 50% decrease in violence and sexual offences compared to January, with reported incidents dropping from 14 to 7. This decline, while significant, contrasts with a 200% rise in criminal damage and arson, which jumped from one to three incidents. The increase in vehicle crime (up 100% from one to two) and drugs-related offences (also up 100%) suggests shifting patterns in local criminal activity. Vehicle crime in Deepcar was 89% higher than the UK average, a stark deviation that may relate to the area’s urban infrastructure and limited parking options. Conversely, violence and sexual offences were 49% below the UK average, a figure that could reflect effective community policing or the area’s demographic profile. The sharp rise in criminal damage and arson, despite the winter lull, raises questions about potential seasonal or localized triggers from the data alone. For residents, the 50% drop in violent crime offers a tangible benefit, but the spike in property-related offences underscores the need for continued vigilance in specific areas.

Deepcar’s crime rate in February 2025 (4.6 per 1,000) marked a 7.3% decrease from January’s rate of 5.0, a decline that aligns with the typical seasonal slowdown in winter months. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 28-day period, a figure that, while low, highlights the persistent presence of criminal activity in an urban environment. When scaled to the population of 5,648 residents, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 217 individuals—a ratio that places Deepcar among the safer built-up areas in the UK. This lower-than-average risk profile is particularly evident in violent crime, where the rate was 49% below the UK average. However, the 89% above-average rate for vehicle crime introduces a contrasting dimension, suggesting that while violent crime is managed effectively, property-related offences remain a challenge. The comparison to the UK average also reveals that Deepcar’s anti-social behaviour rate was 79% below the national figure, a finding that may reflect the area’s community-focused initiatives or demographic characteristics. These metrics collectively illustrate a neighbourhood with a generally low crime profile.
