Makeney Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile in Makeney during September 2025 reveals a distinct emphasis on violent crime, with violence and sexual offences accounting for over half of all reported incidents. This stark contrast to the UK average, where such crimes make up 38% of the national total, underscores a unique local dynamic. At 2.9 crimes per 1,000 residents, Makeney's overall rate is 60.8% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, suggesting a generally low-crime environment. The most prevalent category, violence and sexual offences, occurs at 1.6 per 1,000 residents—38% below the UK rate—while anti-social behaviour and criminal damage also fall significantly below national averages. This pattern may reflect the area's character as a smaller built-up area within Amber Valley, where community cohesion and lower population density could contribute to reduced opportunities for certain crimes. Seasonal factors in September, such as the start of the academic year and shorter evenings, may influence the mix of crimes reported, with anti-social behaviour and violence linked to increased social interactions in local spaces. The relatively low rate of property crimes compared to violent offences further differentiates Makeney from larger urban centres, where property crime often dominates. These figures suggest a community where interpersonal conflicts and public order issues are more prominent than theft or burglary, a trend consistent with the area's likely demographic profile and geographic context.

September 2025 saw notable shifts in Makeney's crime mix, with anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both doubling from zero to three incidents, a 100% increase. Theft from the person also rose from zero to one incident, though this category remains significantly below the UK average for other theft by 60%. In contrast, other theft fell by 50%, from two to one incident. The proportion of violent crime in the overall mix decreased slightly, from 53.3% of total crimes in the previous month to 53.3% in September—though the absolute number of violent crimes dropped by 11.1% (from nine to eight). This shift may reflect seasonal factors, with back-to-school activity potentially increasing anti-social behaviour while reducing opportunities for property crime. The only category exceeding the UK average was theft from the person, which occurred at 0.2 per 1,000 residents compared to the national rate of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly could indicate a temporary spike linked to increased foot traffic or specific local events. For residents, the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour highlights a need for community awareness, particularly during the transition to autumn when social gatherings may occur more frequently in public spaces.

Makeney's crime rate in September 2025 rose by 25.1% compared to the previous month's 2.4 per 1,000 residents. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 30-day period, translating to one reported crime for every 340 residents during the month. This monthly exposure rate, while low, suggests that residents are statistically less likely to encounter crime than the national average, which would see one crime for every 135 residents. The population-scaled perspective reinforces Makeney's status as a low-crime area, with its 5,096 residents experiencing only 15 total crimes. This context is particularly meaningful for local families and businesses, who may perceive the area as safer than the UK average despite the month-on-month increase. The rise in anti-social behaviour and criminal damage could be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the start of the academic year, which may bring increased social activity in public spaces. However, the overall rate remains well within the range expected for a smaller built-up area, where community policing and local engagement efforts likely contribute to sustained low crime levels.
