Ravenshead Crime Rate March 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead's crime profile in March 2024 demonstrated a marked improvement in overall safety, with a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents—71.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area's effectiveness in crime prevention, possibly influenced by its built-up yet relatively low-density character. The breakdown of incidents reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 30.8% of total crimes (4 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (23.1%) and other theft (23.1%). These figures, while lower than national averages, suggest ongoing challenges in managing specific categories. Seasonal factors may have played a role, as March's transition to spring—with longer evenings and the clocks changing—could have influenced patterns of activity and visibility. The low property crime rate (0.5 per 1,000) was 9% below the UK average for other theft, indicating a possible alignment with local policing strategies or community engagement efforts. However, the 200% increase in anti-social behaviour reports compared to February raises questions about temporary disruptions, such as seasonal events or changes in social behaviour. The overall picture illustrates a resilient community with a crime profile that diverges significantly from national trends, though targeted interventions may be needed to address the spikes in specific categories.

March 2024 witnessed a 200% increase in anti-social behaviour reports, rising from 1 to 3 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% increase in shoplifting and other theft cases, highlights shifting patterns in local crime dynamics. While violent crimes remained at 4 incidents (30.8% of total), their rate of 0.7 per 1,000 was 74% below the UK average for this category. Criminal damage and arson fell by 50% from 2 to 1 incident, suggesting potential improvements in community safety initiatives or seasonal factors. The breakdown shows that Ravenshead's property crime rate (0.5 per 1,000) was 9% below the UK average for other theft, indicating a combination of local enforcement and broader national trends. These changes, while modest, warrant attention from local authorities and residents alike.

Ravenshead's crime rate in March 2024 rose 62.5% from 1.4 to 2.2 per 1,000 residents compared to February, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, highlighting the low frequency of incidents despite the month-on-month increase. Over the course of March, one reported crime occurred for every 453 residents, underscoring the relatively low monthly exposure compared to larger urban centres. This figure contextualises the data for local residents, showing that the likelihood of encountering crime remains minimal even with the rise in specific categories. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Ravenshead's crime profile continues to diverge significantly from the UK average, with rates remaining 71.4% below the national benchmark. This contrast is amplified by the area's smaller size and lower population density, which may contribute to the reduced incidence of crime compared to more densely populated regions.
