Makeney's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 3.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 61.6% below the UK average of 8.6. This stark contrast with national figures underscores the area's generally low crime environment. month-on-month increase from June suggests some seasonal fluctuations. The top crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 41.2% of total incidents, but these remain 54% below the UK average. Other theft and criminal damage and arson also featured prominently, with the latter seeing a doubling from June. July's peak summer season, marked by festivals, school holidays, and increased tourism, likely contributed to the rise in public order and property-related offences. The area's built-up nature within Amber Valley may explain the relatively high share of violence and sexual offences compared to rural counterparts, though local policing efforts appear to mitigate broader crime trends. Seasonal factors such as extended daylight hours and outdoor events may have encouraged more public interactions, influencing crime patterns. Despite the 6.4% increase, the overall rate remains exceptionally low, reflecting the effectiveness of community initiatives and the area's character as a relatively quiet, low-density built-up space.

July 2025 saw a 100% increase in criminal damage and arson, public order offences, and theft from the person compared to June, while violence and sexual offences decreased by 12.5%. This shift in crime mix highlights a move towards property-related and public disorder incidents, contrasting with the previous month's focus on violent crime. Violence and sexual offences in Makeney remain 54% below the UK average, despite the 12.5% drop from June. Other theft, however, is 9% above the UK average, suggesting a localized challenge in this category. The doubling of theft from the person—now at 0.2 per 1,000—may partly explain the slight overall rate increase. Residents may find the 100% rise in public order offences particularly relevant, as these incidents are often concentrated in high-traffic areas or during summer events. The contrast between Makeney's low violent crime rates and its relatively higher theft figures compared to the UK underscores the area's unique crime profile.

Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 300 residents, a figure that underscores the relatively low risk environment in Makeney compared to national benchmarks. With a population of 5,096, this monthly exposure translates to a manageable level of concern for residents. While the increase is notable, it is modest in scale and may be influenced by seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during festivals or events. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that the area's crime profile remains far from the national average, with only 17 total crimes reported—a figure that highlights the effectiveness of local policing and community engagement strategies.
