Ravenshead Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 5,891 residents, Ravenshead recorded 15 crimes in June 2024, translating to a crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 people. This figure is 68.3% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment compared to the national picture. The most frequently reported crimes were violence and sexual offences (6 cases, 40% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (3 cases, 20%) and other theft (2 cases, 13.3%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up district within Gedling, where community policing and local initiatives may contribute to lower violent crime rates. Seasonally, June marks the start of summer, with longer days and the early onset of tourism in nearby coastal areas. While this typically increases foot traffic and potential for petty crime, Ravenshead’s figures suggest that local deterrents—such as visible police presence or community engagement—may mitigate such risks. The absence of major property crimes like burglary or vehicle theft (each at 1 case) contrasts with the UK averages for these categories, further underscoring the area’s relative safety. This consistency in low crime rates, despite seasonal fluctuations, may indicate effective long-term strategies in place to manage crime. However, the breakdown also highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where violence and anti-social behaviour persist, even at low levels.

June 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to May, with three categories experiencing a 100% increase: burglary (0 → 1), other theft (0 → 2), and vehicle crime (0 → 1). This uptick in property-related crimes may reflect seasonal changes, such as increased outdoor activity or holiday-related travel. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 25% (from 4 to 3 cases), due to community efforts or heightened awareness during the summer months. Violent crimes—specifically violence and sexual offences—remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 40% of total crimes. At 1.0 per 1,000 residents, this rate is 64% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000, suggesting that local factors, such as strong community ties or effective policing, may play a role. The absence of significant increases in violent crime despite the summer season is noteworthy, though it may also reflect underreporting or the efficacy of local crime prevention measures. Residents may find the daily crime context useful: on average, Ravenshead experienced 0 crimes per day in June, a figure that, while low, highlights the importance of maintaining vigilance in areas where property crimes have recently risen.

Ravenshead’s crime rate in June 2024 (2.6 per 1,000) marked a 25.0% increase from May’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000, indicating a modest upward trend. However, this remains well below the UK average, with the area’s overall rate 68.3% lower than the national figure of 8.2 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly 0 crimes per day in June—a statistic that, while technically accurate, may obscure the significance of the recent spikes in property-related offences. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for every 393 residents, a figure that, when contextualised against the area’s population of 5,891, illustrates the rarity of crime in Ravenshead. This monthly exposure rate is particularly striking when compared to the UK average, where residents are far more likely to experience crime. The relatively low crime rate, even with the recent increases in burglary and vehicle crime, suggests that the area’s built-up nature and proximity to Gedling’s infrastructure may contribute to a safer environment. However, the 25% month-on-month rise serves as a reminder that even minor fluctuations can signal emerging trends, warranting continued monitoring of property crime categories in the coming months.
