Ravenshead Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead's crime rate in April 2024 stood at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, a figure 68.8% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked safety contrast is evident across crime categories, with anti-social behaviour (7 cases) accounting for 50% of all reported incidents — a rate exactly matching the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences (3 cases) remained significantly below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), while criminal damage and arson (2 cases) were 49% below the national rate. The area's low crime profile is consistent with its character as a built-up area within Gedling, where community cohesion and lower population density may partly explain the reduced incidence of violent crime. Seasonal factors in April — including the Easter period and increased outdoor activity — could contribute to the rise in anti-social behaviour. Property-related crimes (4 cases) accounted for 57.1% of total incidents, with vehicle crime doubling from 0 to 2 cases. This mix suggests a pattern where public order issues dominate over more serious offences, reflecting the area's focus on community policing and local initiatives. The low crime rate, however, must be viewed alongside the 7.7% month-on-month increase, which indicates the need for continued monitoring of emerging trends in anti-social behaviour and property crime.

April 2024 marked a sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, with incidents increasing by 133.3% to 7 cases — the most common crime type in the area.

Vehicle crime also doubled, rising from 0 to 2 incidents, while criminal damage and arson increased by 100% to 2 cases. These spikes in anti-social behaviour and property-related crimes highlight a shift in the crime mix, with property offences now accounting for 57.1% of total crimes (7 cases) compared to 21.4% for violent crimes. Anti-social behaviour in Ravenshead remains exactly at the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000, while violence and sexual offences are 80% below the national rate. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas where anti-social behaviour has surged, as this category now constitutes half of all reported crimes in the area.

Daily crime statistics show an average of 0 crimes reported per day in April, reflecting the area's overall low crime profile.

This monthly exposure figure, while a local metric, underscores the rarity of crime in Ravenshead even as the rate fluctuates slightly. The population context further highlights that, despite the 7.7% increase, the absolute number of crimes remains minimal given the area's small population of 5,891. This contrast between local and national figures reinforces the importance of viewing crime trends within the specific demographic and geographic context of Ravenshead.
