Makeney Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Makeney’s crime rate in June 2024 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 65.9% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures underscores Makeney’s position as a low-crime built-up area within Amber Valley. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all reported incidents (7 cases), with a rate of 1.4 per 1,000—49% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 14.3% of total crimes (2 cases), and remaining 71% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. These patterns align with the area’s likely character as a smaller, possibly rural or semi-rural built-up area, where community cohesion and lower population density may naturally suppress anti-social and violent incidents. Seasonal factors, such as the start of summer, may also influence crime trends. For instance, the low rate of property crimes (5 total, or 35.7% of all incidents) reflects the absence of high-density retail or commercial hubs that typically drive shoplifting or burglary. However, the area’s crime profile is not without nuance: burglary, though rare, remains 33% above the UK average, a discrepancy that may be explained by local property layouts or transient populations. The low overall rate, combined with the UK’s significantly higher figures, suggests that Makeney’s crime environment is shaped by both geographic isolation and effective local policing, though further analysis would be needed to confirm these hypotheses.

June 2024 saw a 100% increase in vehicle crime, anti-social behaviour, and shoplifting compared to May, though these categories remain significantly below UK averages. Vehicle crime, for instance, rose from 0 to 1 incident, a stark shift that may reflect seasonal changes, such as increased vehicle movement during summer. Anti-social behaviour doubled to 2 incidents, a figure still 71% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. This surge in anti-social behaviour, however, highlights a potential need for local monitoring, especially as summer activities intensify. Burglary remains a concern, with a rate of 0.4 per 1,000—33% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This anomaly may be linked to Makeney’s built-up character, where property density could create opportunities for targeted theft. Residents may find the low overall crime rate reassuring, but the spike in specific categories warrants attention, particularly as summer tourism begins to influence local dynamics.

Makeney's crime rate in June 2024 remained stable compared to the previous month, with a -6.5% decrease from 2.9 to 2.8 per 1,000 residents. This small decline suggests sustained low crime levels, consistent with the area’s historically low rates. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day in June, reflecting the sparse nature of reported incidents. When considering the monthly exposure, residents faced a 1-in-364 chance of experiencing a crime, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. Comparing this to the UK average, Makeney’s overall crime rate is 65.9% below the national average, a gap that highlights the area’s relative safety. While no UK daily or monthly exposure data exists for comparison, the local statistics illustrate that Makeney’s low crime environment persists despite minor fluctuations. This stability is particularly notable in an area where the population density is low enough to support such minimal incident rates, suggesting that community dynamics and local policing may play a role in maintaining this profile.
