Makeney Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Makeney’s crime profile in March 2023 reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, with a total crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents—53.9% below the national figure of 7.6 per 1,000. This discrepancy underscores the area’s relative safety, particularly given its built-up character within the rural Amber Valley. Violent crimes dominated the landscape, making up 61.1% of all incidents, while property crimes were minimal, accounting for just 5.6% of the total. This imbalance between violent and property crimes may reflect local dynamics, such as the area’s limited commercial activity and low population density, which could reduce opportunities for theft or burglary. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role, as the transition to spring and the lengthening of evenings may have influenced crime patterns. While the UK average for violent crimes is 2.7 per 1,000, Makeney’s rate of 2.2 per 1,000 is 20% lower, indicating that the area’s residents may be less likely to encounter violent incidents than the national average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also remained well below UK levels, with rates of 0.8 and 0.2 per 1,000 respectively. These figures suggest that Makeney’s crime profile is shaped by its rural context and the characteristics of its built-up area, which may contribute to lower levels of certain types of crime. However, the high proportion of violent crimes compared to property crimes raises questions about local factors that could be driving this trend, such as community interactions or the nature of public spaces in the area. Residents should remain aware of the potential for violent incidents, especially in the evenings as the season progresses.

March 2023 saw a notable concentration of violent crimes, accounting for 61.1% of all incidents, a significant shift from the previous month’s likely more balanced property-violent split. This increase in violent crimes compared to property crimes may partly reflect seasonal patterns, as longer evenings and the transition to spring could contribute to more incidents in public spaces. Additionally, Makeney’s violent crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents is 20% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, suggesting a lower risk of violent crime in the area than the national average. Anti-social behaviour also remained below UK levels, with a rate of 0.8 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 1.0 per 1,000. These figures, combined with the overall low crime rate, indicate that Makeney’s residents may experience fewer disturbances than those in other parts of the country.

In March 2023, Makeney recorded 18 crimes across its population of 5,096 residents, translating to one reported crime for every 283 residents over the course of the month. This figure provides a local context for residents, showing that the likelihood of encountering crime in the area is relatively low compared to larger urban centres. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a rate that remains consistent with historical trends in similarly sized built-up areas. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the crime rate of 3.5 per 1,000 residents places Makeney well below the UK average, highlighting the area’s comparatively safe environment. This monthly exposure figure, while useful for understanding risk, should be interpreted alongside broader demographic factors such as the area’s rural character and limited commercial activity, which may naturally reduce opportunities for certain types of crime.
