Deepcar Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Deepcar's crime profile in September 2025, accounting for 34.2% of all reported crimes. This category, at 2.3 per 1,000 residents, remains 11% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, a figure that may be influenced by the area's urban character and community policing efforts. The overall crime rate of 6.7 per 1,000 is 9.5% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, reflecting Deepcar's generally lower crime levels compared to national benchmarks. Other theft, at 10 incidents (1.8 per 1,000), is 260% above the UK average, a stark deviation that could be linked to the area's retail density and the seasonal influx of students. Anti-social behaviour, at 4 incidents (0.7 per 1,000), is 40% below the UK average, suggesting effective community management of public order issues. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return to school and university freshers' week—may contribute to fluctuations in crime patterns, with increased foot traffic and social interactions influencing both violent and property crime rates. However, the area's relatively low overall crime rate indicates a stable environment, despite the above-average incidence of theft.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in Deepcar's crime profile. Shoplifting increased by 100% compared to August, rising from zero to one incident, a figure that may partly reflect the influx of university students during freshers' week. Vehicle crime also doubled, with four incidents reported, suggesting potential vulnerabilities in parking areas or increased activity around local transport hubs. Violence and sexual offences rose by 8.3%, though they remain 11% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 50%, from eight to four incidents, a decline that could indicate the effectiveness of community engagement efforts or seasonal changes in public gatherings. Other theft, at 10 incidents, is 260% above the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, a stark contrast that warrants closer examination of local retail security measures and patterns of theft.

Deepcar's crime rate in September 2025 stood at 6.7 per 1,000 residents, a 9.5% decrease from the previous month's 7.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the broader trend observed in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, the local figure translates to approximately one reported crime per day, a manageable frequency for a built-up area within Sheffield. Over the course of September, one crime occurred for roughly every 149 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Deepcar in a relatively stable position compared to other urban centres. The population context further underscores this: with 5,648 residents, the crime rate remains proportionally low, reflecting the area's ability to manage incidents within its community. This reduction may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as the transition from summer to autumn, which could have led to changes in public behaviour and activity patterns.
