We’ve mapped the worst 11 streets for crime in Sheffield
A local Sheffield newspaper has analysed publicly available crime data to identify which streets in the city experienced the highest number of police-reported incidents. Using information from police.uk, the analysis covered reports across Sheffield's four policing districts during May 2026, ranking specific locations by incident frequency, ranging from 15 to 28 reports per street.
The identified streets are spread across various areas of Sheffield, from city centre locations to residential neighbourhoods, reflecting a dispersed pattern of reported crime rather than concentration in single zones. This data-driven investigation addresses residents' interests in neighbourhood safety and provides specific, location-based crime statistics to help inform decisions about where to live, work, or socialise in the city.
