Makeney Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Makeney's crime rate in February 2025 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 58.2% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This marked improvement underscores a broader trend of declining crime in the area, which may be influenced by Makeney's status as a built-up area within Amber Valley—a region where population density is lower than major urban centres, potentially contributing to reduced opportunities for certain types of crime. The breakdown of reported crimes reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.9% of all incidents, followed by burglary at 21.4% and anti-social behaviour at 14.3%. Violence and sexual offences in Makeney (1.2 per 1,000) were 49% below the UK average, a figure that could be linked to the area's smaller population and lower levels of social strain compared to larger cities. However, burglary rates in Makeney (0.6 per 1,000) were 122% above the UK average, suggesting a localised issue that may require targeted measures. Seasonal context plays a role in these patterns: February, as a winter month, typically sees lower outdoor activity, which may reduce opportunities for certain crimes but could also lead to increased indoor incidents or conflicts. The overall crime rate remains consistent with Makeney's historical profile as a relatively safe built-up area, though the disparity in burglary rates highlights the need for further analysis of local factors such as property security measures or policing strategies in high-risk zones.

February 2025 witnessed notable shifts in crime patterns within Makeney. Public order offences, shoplifting, and other theft each saw a 100% increase from the previous month, rising from zero to one incident each. This uptick could be linked to seasonal factors, such as the pre-spring lull in outdoor activity or changes in local events that may have drawn transient populations. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 33.3%, from three to two incidents, a decline that may reflect effective community interventions or a reduction in alcohol-related incidents during the winter months. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 42.9% of all crimes, but this rate (1.2 per 1,000) was 49% below the UK average. Meanwhile, burglary rates in Makeney (0.6 per 1,000) were 122% above the UK average (0.3 per 1,000), suggesting a localised vulnerability that warrants further attention. These disparities highlight the need for targeted strategies to address specific crime types while maintaining the overall downward trend.

Makeney's crime rate in February 2025 (2.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 12.4% decline from the previous month's 3.1 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 364 residents, underscoring the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. Daily crime figures show an average of 0 crimes per day, a statistic that aligns with the area's overall safety profile compared to the UK average. This low daily rate may be attributed to Makeney's smaller population and possibly its character as a less densely populated built-up area within Amber Valley, where community cohesion and local policing efforts could contribute to reduced incidents. When scaled to the population, the 2.8 per 1,000 rate means that for every 1,000 residents, just 2.8 crimes are reported annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK's 6.7 per 1,000. This contrast highlights the area's effectiveness in managing crime relative to national benchmarks, though local factors such as economic stability and social infrastructure may play a role.
