Sheffield's most violent neighbourhoods: Gallery shows most violent parts of city over last 12 months

Official statistics show which districts in the city have seen the most violent crime and sexual offences in the last year, over the most recent 12 months for which figures are available, which is from June 2023 to May 2024

We have taken the official figures provided by Sheffield Council’ s Local Insights, which is based on official South Yorkshire Police data over the 12 month period. It has been divided into 71 neighbourhoods.

We have listed the top 22 in reverse order, so the first picture is the area in 22nd place, and the last one is the area with the most violent incidents per person.

The figures show the 12 month total of neighbourhood-level incidents of violent crime and sexual offences recorded by police, as a rate per 1,000 residents. We have ranked then on that figure, but we have also stated the total number of incidents in each of those areas.

The figures for violence do not include robberies, but do include sexual offences. The incidents are recorded in the area where they occurred, and the rate is stated as the number of cases per person living in the neighbourhood.

Sheffield is one of the safest cities according the same figures, which rank it as having the least violent crime per head of population out of the big provincial UK cities - Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Nottingham and Sheffield.
