Deepcar Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar’s crime rate for June 2025 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, placing it 38.3% below the UK average of 8.1. This marked contrast with national trends highlights the area’s relative safety, particularly given its status as a built-up district within Sheffield. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (10 incidents, 35.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (5 incidents, 17.9%) and burglary (4 incidents, 14.3%). While violent crime rates in Deepcar are 37% below the UK average, burglary remains an outlier, with a rate of 0.7 per 1,000—150% above the national average for that category. Seasonal factors may play a role in these patterns: June, the start of summer, typically sees increased outdoor activity and tourism in nearby coastal areas, though Deepcar itself lacks major tourist attractions. However, the area’s compact urban layout and established community networks may contribute to lower rates of anti-social behaviour and violence compared to larger cities. The relatively low crime rate could also reflect the effectiveness of local policing strategies in addressing property crime, though the sharp rise in burglary remains a concern. The balance between violent and property crime appears stable, with no significant shifts in the overall mix, suggesting a consistent pattern of crime types over time. These figures underscore the importance of maintaining targeted interventions to address specific vulnerabilities, such as burglary, while building on the area’s strengths in reducing more severe offences.

June 2025 saw a 300% surge in burglary cases compared to May, jumping from 1 to 4 incidents. This dramatic increase contrasts sharply with declines in other categories, including a 68.8% drop in anti-social behaviour (from 16 to 5) and a 28.6% reduction in violence and sexual offences (from 14 to 10). The decrease in violent crime may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the end of school term holidays in May, which often correlate with higher incidents in urban areas. However, the burglary spike remains unexplained by the data provided, though it is notable that Deepcar’s burglary rate is 150% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This discrepancy highlights a potential vulnerability in property crime prevention, particularly given the area’s built-up nature, which may include vacant properties or unsecured commercial spaces. Meanwhile, the 37% below-average rate for violence and sexual offences aligns with broader trends observed in similar urban districts, where community engagement initiatives and accessible support services may contribute to lower rates of serious crime. Residents might find the 37% below-average figure for anti-social behaviour particularly reassuring, suggesting that local efforts to address nuisance crimes have had a measurable impact. These findings point to both strengths and areas for improvement in Deepcar’s approach to crime prevention.

June 2025’s crime rate of 5.0 per 1,000 represents a 47.1% decline from the previous month’s rate of 9.4, reflecting a significant drop in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, Deepcar recorded approximately 1 crime per day in June, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in addressing specific categories like burglary. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 202 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average when scaled to Deepcar’s population. This statistic, however, must be contextualised within the local environment: as a built-up area within Sheffield, Deepcar’s population density and urban infrastructure may inherently reduce the likelihood of being a victim compared to more sprawling or rural regions. The sharp contrast between June’s figures and May’s suggests that transient factors—such as the timing of local events, changes in policing focus, or seasonal shifts in population movement—may have influenced the drop. For instance, the end of May’s school holidays could have reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that, despite the burglary spike, the overall risk of victimisation remains relatively low for Deepcar residents, offering a nuanced view of the area’s safety profile.
