The data used in this list is from Police.uk – the national website for policing in England – and covers the most recent available figures for South Yorkshire Police, which are for August 2022.
The Star has compared the figures from Sheffield’s four policing districts: Sheffield North East; Sheffield Central and North West; Sheffield South East and Sheffield South West to compile the list of the nine worst streets in the city for violent and sexual crimes in August 2022.
Six of the nine streets with the highest number of crime reports are located in Sheffield city centre.
The police.uk data states that the crimes have been reported ‘on or near’ a specific street or location.
