Ravenshead Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,891 residents, Ravenshead recorded 11 crimes in June 2023, equating to a crime rate of 1.9 per 1,000 people. This is 77.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s relative safety compared to national trends. The crime breakdown reveals property crimes dominated, accounting for 9 of the 11 total incidents. Other theft (4 incidents) and vehicle crime (4 incidents) were the most common categories, each contributing 36.4% of total crimes. These figures suggest a focus on property-related offences, which may be linked to the area’s built-up character and potential for vehicle-related vulnerabilities. Seasonal context also plays a role: as June marks the start of summer and longer daylight hours, increased foot traffic and outdoor activity could theoretically influence crime patterns, though no direct correlation is evident in the data. Anti-social behaviour (2 incidents) and shoplifting (1 incident) made up the remaining 22.7% of crimes, with anti-social behaviour registering 80% below the UK average. The low overall rate, combined with the absence of violent crimes, reinforces Ravenshead’s position as a low-crime area within Gedling. However, the spike in property-related offences may warrant closer attention to local factors such as vehicle security measures or retail premises management.

June 2023 saw significant month-on-month changes in Ravenshead’s crime profile. Other theft surged by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents), and vehicle crime doubled (from 2 to 4 incidents), both far exceeding their previous month totals. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, increasing from 0 to 2 incidents—a 100% jump. These increases, while modest in absolute terms, suggest potential vulnerabilities in property security or community oversight. Other theft and vehicle crime in Ravenshead are both above the UK average: other theft is 8% higher than the national rate (0.7 vs 0.7 per 1,000), and vehicle crime is 49% above the UK average (0.7 vs 0.5 per 1,000). This contrast with anti-social behaviour, which is 80% below the UK average (0.3 vs 1.5 per 1,000), highlights a skewed crime mix compared to national trends. For residents, the sharp rise in vehicle crime may be particularly relevant, given the area’s built-up nature and potential for parked vehicles in residential zones. Shoplifting, though minimal (1 incident), is 63% below the UK average (0.2 vs 0.5 per 1,000), suggesting that local retail environments may have effective deterrents or low foot traffic during peak hours.

Ravenshead’s crime rate in June 2023 (1.9 per 1,000 residents) represents a 22.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 1.5 per 1,000. While this upward trend is modest, it underscores the volatility of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day in June—a figure that, while seemingly negligible, reflects the small population size (5,891 residents) and low overall crime volume. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 536 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to the UK average. This statistic places Ravenshead firmly in the category of areas with minimal crime risk, though the recent increases in property-related offences may hint at emerging challenges. From a population-scaled perspective, the low crime rate is particularly striking: for every 1,000 residents, the area experiences fewer than 2 crimes annually, a stark contrast to the UK’s 8.5 per 1,000. This disparity suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion, effective policing, or environmental design—may be contributing to the area’s safety. However, the rise in vehicle crime and other theft highlights the need for targeted interventions to address specific vulnerabilities without undermining the broader success of maintaining a low-crime environment.
