Our nearest neighbor Rotherham is demonstrably worse than Sheffield so that can't be true. I don't recall Sheffield ever featuring highly in any Crap Towns list. So despite all our problems maybe we are still 'living the dream' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I would love to see your evidence of that from reputable sources. I chose Rotherham over Sheffield years ago because the people are more friendly and generally it is safer in my personal Experience. I had the misfortune of visiting (very briefly) a suburb of Sheffield today and I thought I had strayed into Ukraine. I could not get out quick enough.

Janus   28 #7 Posted May 22, 2022 Rotherham no longer has much of a town centre, although there are a few new developments ongoing. On  topic  I would say knife crime in Sheffield seems quite bad. I don't know about other towns and cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I remember asking my parents to buy it me as I was a pre-teen who thought a book with swearing in the title was cool. Sheffield has changed significantly since then, and not for the better. There were 2 follow up books (last one 2013) and the concept has been used by other sources since. I have never owned a copy but the info is easily available.

Was it worse than Canklow, Eastwood, Central Rotherham, Brinsworth?  Rotherham has appeared on multiple lists of bad places to live, unlike Sheffield.

Well by including Brinsworth you clearly demonstrate you do not know the area and are relying on rumour and unreliable sources. I would suggest the reason Sheffield has not appeared on those lists is because its a given. BRINSWORTH ??? 😂 https://crimerate.co.uk/south-yorkshire/sheffield#:~:text=Sheffield is the most dangerous,90 crimes per 1%2C000 people.
