Makeney Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Makeney's crime rate in July 2024 stood at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 71.4% below the UK average of 8.4. This stark contrast highlights the area's generally low crime profile, which is consistent with its status as a built-up area within Amber Valley—a region characterized by a mix of rural and suburban landscapes. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 58.3% of all reported incidents, followed by 'other crime' and 'criminal damage and arson' at 8.3% each. This distribution suggests that personal safety remains a priority for local authorities, even as the overall rate remains exceptionally low. Seasonal factors likely play a role in these figures: July is a peak month for tourism and outdoor events in the area, which could influence crime patterns. While the absence of major property crimes (only 3 reported) is notable, the high proportion of violent offences may reflect the area's demographic profile or the impact of transient populations during the summer. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, meaning Makeney's rate is 51% below this benchmark, a significant achievement. However, the small increase in 'other crime' and 'other theft' suggests that local law enforcement may need to adapt strategies to address emerging challenges in these categories. Overall, the data illustrates a community that, despite its low crime rate, must remain vigilant to ensure continued safety during periods of heightened activity.

July 2024 saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' and 'other theft' compared to June, with both categories rising from 0 to 1 incident. This shift contrasts with a 50% decrease in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 2 to 1. The crime mix in Makeney remains heavily skewed toward violent offences, which constitute 58.3% of all reported crimes—significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000). Meanwhile, 'other crime' in Makeney is 18% above the UK average (0.2 per 1,000), a small but notable deviation. For residents, the increase in 'other theft'—a category that includes theft from vehicles or unattended property—may warrant extra vigilance during local festivals and events, which draw larger crowds to the area.

Makeney's crime rate in July 2024 dropped to 2.4 per 1,000 residents, a 14.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 2.8. This decline aligns with a broader trend observed in similar built-up areas during summer, where reduced foot traffic and seasonal shifts may influence crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day in July, a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents relative to its population of 5,096. When considering the monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 425 residents over the course of the month—a statistic that, while modest, provides context for residents assessing their personal risk. This monthly rate is lower than the UK average, but the comparison here focuses on local dynamics rather than national benchmarks. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Makeney's crime profile remains well below the levels typically seen in larger urban centres, with its small size and rural proximity likely contributing to the reduced incidence of property and violent crimes.
