Sheffield's 12 worst hotspots for violent crime and sexual offences

When it comes to violent crime, these 12 parts of Sheffield have the highest figures.

The latest Police UK figures show that the areas listed below saw the most reports of violent crime and sexual offences per 1,000 residents over the year up to the end of May 2026, the most recent period for which figures are available.

The figures divide Sheffield into 70 neighbourhoods, and we have ranked areas on the basis of the number of violent crimes per person, although the figures also show the overall total for each of those top 21 areas.

The figures represent June 2025 until the end of May 2026.

The 12 areas which saw the most complaints are listed in the gallery below in descending order, with the most violent part of the city listed last.

The figures for violence do not include robberies, but do include sexual offences. The incidents are recorded in the area where they occurred.

To report a crime to South Yorkshire Police call them on 101 or contact them through their online portal at: https://smartcontact.southyorkshire.police.uk/

In an emergency, call 999.
