Deepcar Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Deepcar's October 2025 crime rate of 7.6 per 1,000 places it 1.3% below the UK average, reflecting a generally stable profile for a built-up area within Sheffield. The distribution of crimes highlights a clear dominance of property-related offences over violent crimes: 20 property crimes (47% of total) compared to 12 violent crimes (28%). This imbalance may be attributed to Deepcar's urban character, where vehicle crime, criminal damage, and theft from vehicles and premises are more prevalent than interpersonal violence. The most common category, violence and sexual offences, fell slightly by 7.7% month-on-month, yet still accounted for 27.9% of all crimes — a proportion 21% below the UK average. This suggests that while violent crime remains a concern, its frequency in Deepcar is lower than national levels. Seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and the Halloween period, likely contributed to the 200% surge in criminal damage and arson, as these conditions may facilitate more clandestine or opportunistic acts. The data also reveals that vehicle crime in Deepcar is 162% above the UK average, a figure that may be linked to the area's transport infrastructure or parking arrangements. While the overall rate is slightly below the UK average, the disproportionate rise in certain categories — particularly vehicle crime and criminal damage — indicates specific vulnerabilities that could be addressed through targeted interventions. These findings paint a nuanced picture of Deepcar's crime profile, where the urban environment shapes patterns more than national trends, and where seasonal and infrastructural factors play a key role in shaping monthly statistics.

October 2025 saw a 200% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from 2 to 6 incidents — a stark shift in the local crime profile. Burglary and robbery both doubled from zero to one each, marking an unusual spike in these categories. Conversely, other theft fell by 40%, from 10 to 6, indicating a possible seasonal dip in opportunistic crimes. The balance between property and violent crimes remained skewed, with property crimes (20) accounting for nearly 47% of total incidents, compared to 28% for violent crimes. This dominance of property crime aligns with Deepcar's built-up character, where vehicle and commercial spaces may attract specific offences. Vehicle crime in Deepcar was 162% above the UK average, suggesting a localised factor — such as high vehicle density or inadequate parking security — that warrants attention. Residents may find the 40% drop in other theft noteworthy, as it could reflect increased community vigilance or temporary changes in criminal activity patterns.

Deepcar's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 13.1% compared to September's 6.7 per 1,000, reaching 7.6 per 1,000 — still 1.3% below the UK average. This increase, though modest, reflects a localised shift in crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 131 residents. While this rate is lower than the UK average, the 13.1% month-on-month rise suggests a temporary uptick in activity. The population of 5,648 residents means that the impact of these crimes is concentrated, with each resident facing a calculated risk. This context underscores the importance of community awareness, as even a small number of incidents can feel significant in a closely knit built-up area. The comparison to the UK average also highlights that Deepcar's crime profile remains relatively stable, with no major divergence from national trends despite the recent increase.
