Ecclesfield and Grenoside Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile of Ecclesfield and Grenoside in November 2025, accounting for 23.4% of all reported incidents. At 5.5 per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate is 24.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a consistent trend that highlights the area's relatively low exposure to crime. This statistic is particularly notable in the context of a built-up area within Sheffield, where the combination of residential and commercial spaces often influences crime patterns. The dominance of violence as the leading category may be partially explained by the darker evenings of November, which can affect visibility and increase the risk of incidents in public spaces. However, the rate of violence in the area remains 49% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as community cohesion and policing strategies may be contributing to this lower rate. Shoplifting, the second most common category at 21.3% of all crimes, saw a dramatic surge in November, likely driven by Black Friday shopping activity. This spike in retail-related crime contrasts with the area's generally low levels of violent and property crime, illustrating the complex relationship between seasonal events and local crime dynamics. The presence of 10 shoplifting incidents in November, compared to 3 in the previous month, underscores the impact of targeted retail periods on crime statistics. The area's overall crime profile also includes a notable decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell by 66.7% from October to November, a shift that may reflect the influence of seasonal events and community activities during the month. These patterns are consistent with the area's character as a relatively quiet, mixed-use part of Sheffield, where the interplay between retail activity and residential stability shapes the crime profile. The data also shows that other theft and criminal damage remain within or below UK averages, further reinforcing the area's lower-than-average risk profile. As November progresses, the continued monitoring of shoplifting trends will be important, given the significant increase observed in the month.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 233.3% increase in shoplifting, with the category rising from 3 to 10 incidents. This sharp jump aligns with the Black Friday shopping period, which typically sees heightened retail activity and foot traffic in the area. The rise in shoplifting contrasts with a significant 66.7% decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 12 to 4 incidents. This shift may reflect a combination of increased police presence during the holiday season and the natural ebb of seasonal events that often accompany colder weather. Meanwhile, theft from the person doubled from 0 to 1 incident, a change that could be linked to the darker evenings associated with November. Burglary also saw a 100% increase, rising from 1 to 2, though this remains a small number in the context of the area's overall crime profile. The violent crime category, which accounts for 23.4% of all incidents, remained 49% below the UK average at 1.3 per 1,000. This suggests that while violence is the dominant crime type in the area, its rate is lower than the national benchmark. The contrast between shoplifting's surge and the decline in anti-social behaviour illustrates a dynamic interplay between retail activity and community engagement during the month.

Ecclesfield and Grenoside's crime rate in November 2025 rose slightly to 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a 4.6% increase from the previous month's 5.2. This places the area 24.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, a consistent trend reflecting the area's lower-than-average exposure to crime. Locally, this translates to roughly two crimes reported per day across the 30-day period, a figure that aligns with the area's character as a relatively quiet residential and commercial hub within Sheffield. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for every 183 residents, a monthly aggregate that highlights the low frequency of incidents compared to the national average. This ratio suggests that while the area is not immune to crime, its population experiences a significantly lower risk of being directly affected than the UK average. The shift from October to November also reveals a nuanced picture: while property crimes saw notable increases, violent crimes remained relatively stable, pointing to potential seasonal influences such as darker evenings and holiday-related activities. These patterns are consistent with the built-up area's mix of retail and residential spaces, where foot traffic and lighting conditions may moderate the likelihood of certain crimes.
