Deepcar Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Deepcar, a built-up area within Sheffield, recorded a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 37% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure highlights the area's comparatively low crime profile, a position reinforced by the distribution of reported incidents. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.6% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 23.1% and public order offences at 11.5%. These patterns align with the seasonal context of November, a month marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and prolonged darkness, which may influence both crime opportunities and community activity. The relatively low rates of violent crime, particularly the 38% deficit compared to the UK average for violence and sexual offences, suggest that local factors—such as the area's integration within Sheffield's broader policing framework and the presence of community-focused initiatives—may contribute to this outcome. However, the limited data available prevents a definitive analysis of causal links, though the seasonal timing of events like Bonfire Night, which often sees spikes in public order offences, may have been mitigated by local coordination. The overall crime rate, while lower than the national average, remains subject to fluctuations, with the transition into winter likely to influence patterns in the coming months.

November 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with shoplifting and 'other crime' categories each increasing by 100% compared to October, rising from zero to one incident each. This uptick may be linked to Black Friday shopping activity, though the limited data available prevents definitive conclusions. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 66.7%, likely influenced by seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity and the absence of large public events typically associated with higher vandalism rates. Anti-social behaviour rose by 50%, a trend consistent with the transition into winter, when shorter daylight hours and colder weather may exacerbate tensions in shared spaces. Violence and sexual offences in Deepcar remain 38% below the UK average, a contrast to the national trend where such crimes often dominate statistics in similar urban areas. Residents may find the 68% below UK average rate for shoplifting particularly noteworthy, suggesting effective local measures or lower retail theft opportunities.

Deepcar's November 2025 crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents marks a 39.6% decrease from the previous month's 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a notable downward trend. This shift aligns with seasonal patterns, as November's darker evenings and reduced foot traffic in retail areas may have contributed to lower crime visibility. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the month, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in a built-up area within Sheffield. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 217 residents, a statistic that places Deepcar well below the UK average for comparable urban zones. This context is particularly relevant for residents, as it highlights the area's safety profile in contrast to broader national trends, though local factors such as community engagement and policing strategies likely play a role in sustaining these rates.
