Makeney Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Makeney's August 2024 crime rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents places it 82.9% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, illustrating a marked contrast with national trends. This built-up area within Amber Valley continues to demonstrate a crime profile characterised by low overall incidence, with anti-social behaviour (3 cases, 42.9% of total) and other theft (1 case, 14.3%) as the most frequently reported categories. The data reveals a persistent underrepresentation of violent crime, with only 1 incident recorded—93% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Seasonal context suggests that August, as a peak holiday month, may have influenced patterns: while empty homes could theoretically increase burglary risk, no such incidents were reported, and shoplifting (1 case) saw a 100% month-on-month rise. This aligns with the area's likely character as a small, rural or semi-rural community where low population density and limited commercial activity may contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. The stark divergence from the UK average highlights Makeney's status as an exceptionally safe area, though the rise in anti-social behaviour may warrant further local analysis. The combination of low crime rates and specific category trends suggests that community factors—such as strong social cohesion or limited public spaces—play a significant role in shaping the area's crime picture.

August 2024 saw a 200% increase in anti-social behaviour incidents, rising from 1 to 3 cases—a significant shift in the crime profile. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in shoplifting, suggests seasonal factors may have influenced local dynamics. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 85.7%, dropping from 7 to 1, a change that aligns with the area's generally low violent crime rates. All crime categories in Makeney remain substantially below UK averages: anti-social behaviour is 58% lower than the national rate, while shoplifting is 72% below. These figures illustrate the area's consistent divergence from the UK norm, with property crimes (3 cases) outpacing violent crimes (1 case) by a 3:1 ratio. For residents, the absence of violent crime in August offers reassurance, though the rise in anti-social behaviour may warrant community attention.

Makeney's August 2024 crime rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 41.7% decline from the previous month's 2.4 per 1,000, reflecting a sustained downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 728 residents—a statistic that underscores the rarity of criminal activity in this built-up area. Daily crime data reveals an average of 0 crimes per day, a figure that contrasts sharply with the UK's much higher national average. When scaled to the area's population of 5,096, the 7 total crimes recorded in August equate to a monthly exposure rate of 1 in 728 residents. This low frequency aligns with Makeney's character as a small, likely rural or semi-rural built-up area within Amber Valley, where community cohesion and limited public spaces may contribute to lower crime incidence. The stark contrast with the UK average highlights the area's exceptional safety record, particularly in violent crime categories where rates are 93% below the national figure.
