Ravenshead Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead's August 2024 crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents places it 70.7% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, a stark contrast to the national profile. The area's crime mix is dominated by violence and sexual offences (42.9% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and vehicle crime (14.3%). This distribution suggests a focus on interpersonal conflicts and minor disturbances rather than large-scale property crimes. Seasonal factors may play a role in shaping these patterns: August is a peak holiday month, with increased tourism and potentially more social interactions that could contribute to violence and anti-social behaviour. However, the low overall rate indicates that local initiatives—such as community policing or targeted interventions—may be effective in mitigating crime. The absence of major property crimes (only 4 out of 14 total incidents) aligns with Ravenshead's character as a built-up area within Gedling, where urban density is lower than in major cities. This may reduce opportunities for burglary and vehicle-related theft. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.7 per 1,000, meaning Ravenshead's rate of 1.0 per 1,000 is 63% below the national figure, a testament to local safety efforts. Nevertheless, the 500% increase in violence and sexual offences from July raises questions about what might have changed—whether it's a temporary spike or a broader trend. The area's low population (5,891 residents) also means that even small absolute numbers can have a noticeable impact on crime rates, making it essential to track fluctuations closely.

August 2024 saw a dramatic 500% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 1 to 6 incidents. This surge, while still below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, reflects a sharp month-on-month shift. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, climbing from 1 to 3 cases, and possession of weapons—a category 186% above the UK average—rose from 0 to 1. These changes suggest a potential imbalance in local safety dynamics. below the national average. The property crime share dropped to 28.6% (4 out of 14 total crimes), while violent crimes now dominate at 42.9%. This shift may indicate seasonal factors, such as increased social activity during the peak holiday period. A resident would note that violence and sexual offences, though a small absolute number, now represent the largest single category of crime in the area.

Ravenshead's crime rate in August 2024 rose to 2.4 per 1,000 residents, a 75% increase from the previous month's rate of 1.4 per 1,000. This upward trend, though still significantly lower than the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, highlights a shift in local patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day in August, reflecting the low overall volume. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 421 residents, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Ravenshead's rate remains 70.7% below the national level, suggesting that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may contribute to sustained safety. The population-scaled perspective shows that even with the month-on-month increase, the area's crime profile remains markedly safer than the UK average, with no single crime type approaching national norms. This contrast may be influenced by Ravenshead's relatively small population and the absence of high-risk environments like major transport hubs or densely populated urban centres.
