Deepcar Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar’s overall crime rate for January 2025 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.6% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This lower-than-average figure contrasts with broader UK trends, reflecting the area’s unique characteristics as a built-up district within Sheffield. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all incidents (14 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%, 6 cases) and burglary (10.7%, 3 cases). The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period with reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours—likely contributes to the lower overall crime rate compared to busier months. However, the high proportion of violent crimes suggests localized factors, such as social dynamics in densely populated areas, may play a role. While property crimes remained low (4 total, 14.3% of all crimes), the focus on violent incidents underscores the need for targeted community engagement and policing strategies. The data also shows that public order offences (7.1% of total crimes) were 13% below the UK average, possibly reflecting effective local initiatives or fewer public gatherings during the winter months. This snapshot of Deepcar’s crime profile highlights both its relative safety and areas requiring closer attention.

January 2025 saw significant month-on-month increases in three crime categories: anti-social behaviour (+100%, from 3 to 6 cases), public order offences (+100%, from 0 to 2 cases), and other crimes (+100%, from 0 to 1 case). These jumps, though small in absolute terms, signal potential shifts in local patterns. Anti-social behaviour, now 12% above the UK average (1.1 vs 1.0 per 1,000), may reflect increased tensions during the post-holiday period or underreporting in previous months. Meanwhile, burglary in Deepcar (0.5 per 1,000) was 67% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), suggesting vulnerabilities in residential security or targeted activity in specific areas. Violent crimes remained aligned with the UK average (2.5 per 1,000), indicating no disproportionate rise in this category. Residents should be particularly aware of the tripling of anti-social behaviour reports, which could indicate increased incidents of noise disturbances, vandalism, or public intoxication in shared spaces. The absence of a UK comparison for 'other crime' (which rose from 0 to 1 case) limits direct context, but the spike may warrant local scrutiny. These findings highlight the need for community vigilance and targeted interventions in the coming months.

Deepcar’s crime rate in January 2025 rose 55.5% compared to December’s 3.2 per 1,000, marking a notable upward trend despite remaining below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, translating to a monthly exposure rate of 1 in 202 residents. For context, Deepcar’s population of 5,648 means each resident faces a relatively low risk of direct involvement in a crime, though the month-on-month increase suggests emerging pressures. The previous month’s rate was significantly lower, potentially influenced by seasonal factors such as holiday-related disruptions or temporary reductions in activity. This contrast between the 3.2 per 1,000 rate in December and the current 5.0 per 1,000 highlights the volatility of crime patterns in built-up areas. While the overall rate remains 29.6% below the UK average, the 55.5% increase from December raises questions about whether local conditions—such as school holidays, weather changes, or shifts in community behaviour—are driving the trend. Residents should consider these figures alongside broader regional data, as Deepcar’s smaller population and unique urban context may moderate crime rates in ways distinct from larger cities.
