From petty theft to violent crime, here's what two local experts had to say about safety and crime in Sheffield, England.

Sheffield is a city surrounded by countryside of the most spectacular type. It is, consequently, a fantastic destination for people who like to exercise outdoors or partake in associated activities. It has many other positive points too. These include a wide-ranging industrial heritage, local civic traditions and a history that can be traced back to the Iron Age. Unfortunately since the 1980s, the city has struggled financially because of the closure of many of its local industries. In some respects therefore, the town looks jaded and crime is on the rise.

Ashleigh, says: 2020

Sheffield is in the United Kingdom. Anyone relocating here would have to know which areas are safe and which are not. This is important as armed gangs proliferate in certain districts. Consequently, the North and East of Sheffield are thought of as places that strangers, including those from other parts of the city, should avoid. However, the city centre itself is not immune to outbreaks of violence because it has become a mecca of cheap drinking ‘joints’. The police are rarely to be found. The most pleasing environments are to be found in the wests of Sheffield, particularly around the University.
