Makeney Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Makeney's crime profile in November 2024, accounting for 50% of the 14 reported crimes. This category, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, remains 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, underscoring the area's relative safety in violent crime. The overall crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents is 63.2% below the national average of 7.6, a stark contrast to larger urban centres. This low rate is consistent with Makeney's built-up character within Amber Valley, where limited commercial density and smaller population size may contribute to reduced opportunities for crime. Seasonal factors, including Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, likely influenced crime patterns. Property crimes, which make up 21.4% of total incidents, remain well below UK averages, with burglary at 0.2 per 1,000 and criminal damage at 0.2 per 1,000. The area's crime profile suggests a community with strong local policing or social cohesion, though the rise in drug-related offences raises questions about emerging challenges. These trends must be contextualised within Makeney's specific geography, where seasonal events and local infrastructure shape crime dynamics differently than in more densely populated regions.

Month-on-month analysis reveals a 66.7% decrease in burglary, dropping from 3 to 1 incident. This decline aligns with broader trends in property crime, which remain well below the UK average. Conversely, drug-related offences saw a 100% increase, rising from 0 to 2 incidents, suggesting a potential shift in local dynamics. Other theft and public order offences also doubled, indicating a possible rise in low-level disturbances. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category at 50% of total crimes, remain 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with the 54% increase in drug offences above the UK average highlights the complexity of local crime patterns. For residents, the burglary decrease offers a tangible sign of improved safety in domestic spaces, while the rise in drug-related incidents warrants local awareness.

Makeney's November 2024 crime rate of 2.8 per 1,000 residents marks a 6.5% decline from the previous month's 2.9 per 1,000, reflecting a continued trend of low overall crime. Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes per day over the month, illustrating the rarity of incidents in this area. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 364 residents, highlighting the low monthly exposure compared to national averages. With a population of 5,096, this translates to a population-scaled perspective where residents face minimal risk relative to larger urban centres. The area's built-up nature within Amber Valley, likely characterised by lower population density and limited commercial hubs, may contribute to the subdued crime environment. While the UK average sees 7.6 crimes per 1,000 residents, Makeney's figure underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community factors in maintaining safety. The absence of significant spikes in property crime further supports the notion of a stable, low-risk environment for residents.
