Ravenshead Crime Rate December 2023 | Monthly Statistics

December 2023 marked a continuation of Ravenshead’s historically low crime levels, with an overall rate of 1.2 crimes per 1,000 residents — a figure that places the area 83.3% below the UK average of 7.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends underscores the unique characteristics of Ravenshead, a built-up area within Gedling that appears to experience significantly fewer criminal incidents. The most frequently reported crimes were other theft, violence and sexual offences, and burglary, each accounting for 28.6% of the total 7 incidents recorded. This even distribution suggests that no single category dominates the crime picture, though the absence of major spikes in any one area indicates a generally stable environment. Seasonal factors may have influenced these outcomes, as December’s Christmas shopping peak, party season, and extended periods of darkness could have reduced opportunities for certain crimes. However, the rise in burglary and theft during the month may reflect the challenges of securing properties during the holiday period, when homes are often empty. The low levels of violent crime, particularly the sharp decline from 6 to 2 incidents compared to November, may also be linked to the area’s demographics or the seasonal nature of violent crime, which tends to peak in warmer months. Overall, Ravenshead’s crime profile in December illustrates a community that, despite the small number of incidents, maintains a consistently low rate of criminal activity relative to the UK as a whole.

December 2023 saw a 100% increase in both other theft and burglary compared to the previous month, with each category rising from 0 to 2 incidents. This surge, though modest in absolute terms, contrasts with a 66.7% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 6 to 2 cases. The reduction in violent crime aligns with the UK average for this category, which stands at 2.6 per 1,000 — a figure Ravenshead’s rate is 89% below. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, further reinforcing the trend of lower crime levels. The area’s rate for other theft is 49% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors such as community engagement or policing strategies may play a role in curbing such incidents. For residents, the 100% increase in burglary may warrant vigilance, particularly during the holiday season when homes are often unoccupied.

Ravenshead’s crime rate in December 2023 dropped by 46.2% compared to the previous month, reflecting a marked reduction in reported incidents. This decline follows a period in November where the rate stood at 2.2 per 1,000 residents, underscoring a trend of decreasing criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area saw an average of 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, a figure that highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When considering the monthly exposure, the data reveals that one reported crime occurred for roughly every 842 residents over the course of December. This statistic, while not directly comparable to national daily figures, provides a local context for residents to gauge their likelihood of encountering crime. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that Ravenshead’s crime levels remain exceptionally low, with the area’s rate being 83.3% below the UK average. This contrast with the national picture suggests that factors unique to Ravenshead, such as its size or community dynamics, may contribute to its continued safety record.
