Makeney Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Makeney's crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 80% of the 5 total reported incidents. This starkly contrasts with the UK average, where such crimes make up 69% of the national total. The area's overall crime rate of 1.0 per 1,000 residents—86.3% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000—reflects a combination of rural characteristics and limited urban infrastructure. The low population density of 5,096 residents, coupled with the area's location within Amber Valley, likely contributes to the sparse crime profile. Seasonal factors in November, including shorter daylight hours and the approach of Bonfire Night, may have influenced the timing of incidents, though the overall volume remains exceptionally low. Vehicle crime, the second most common category, was reported at 0.2 per 1,000—50% below the UK average. This suggests that the area's rural roads, with fewer high-traffic zones, may deter vehicle-related offences. The absence of property crimes in November, unlike the UK average where they typically constitute a larger share, further distinguishes Makeney's crime picture. The area's low crime rate is consistent with its character as a built-up rural settlement, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity likely play a role in maintaining safety. However, the high proportion of violent crimes highlights the need for targeted interventions, particularly during periods of increased social interaction such as festive events.

Violence and sexual offences declined by 20% month-on-month, dropping from 5 to 4 incidents. This category, which constitutes 80% of all crimes in November, remains 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Vehicle crime, the second most common category, was reported at 0.2 per 1,000—50% below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000. The stark contrast between violent crime rates in Makeney and the UK highlights the area's unique dynamics, likely influenced by its rural setting and limited nightlife. Residents may find the 80% share of violent crimes in the total tally noteworthy, suggesting targeted community engagement could further reduce this proportion. The absence of property crimes in November, compared to the UK average where they typically constitute a larger share, reinforces the area's distinct crime profile.

Makeney's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 1.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 61.6% decline from the previous month's rate of 2.6 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with broader seasonal patterns in rural areas, where colder weather and shorter daylight hours often correlate with lower outdoor activity. Over the 30-day period, the area recorded just 5 total crimes—equivalent to 0 crimes per day on average. This daily figure underscores the area's consistently low crime profile, with residents facing a 1-in-1019 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. When compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, Makeney's performance highlights the impact of local factors such as its rural character, limited urban infrastructure, and sparse population density. The low exposure rate suggests that residents are likely to feel safer than the national average, though this should be contextualised against the area's specific demographics and geography.
