Ravenshead Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead's crime rate in September 2024 was 1.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 84.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark divergence from national trends highlights the area's unique characteristics, likely influenced by its smaller population and potential socio-economic factors. The most common crimes were 'Other theft' (28.6% of total incidents), followed by 'Violence and sexual offences' (14.3%) and 'Other crime' (14.3%). These figures suggest a focus on property-related crimes, with 'Other theft' significantly below the UK average for the same category. Seasonal context may play a role, as September marks the transition back to school and university term activities, which can influence local crime patterns. The low overall rate may reflect a combination of effective local policing, community cohesion, and the area's built-up nature within Gedling, which could limit opportunities for certain types of crime. However, the 186% above-average rate for 'Possession of weapons' raises questions about enforcement practices or reporting discrepancies, as this category is typically low in rural or suburban areas. The data also shows a marked contrast with the UK's higher rates for violent crimes, indicating that Ravenshead's environment may deter such offences through factors like limited nightlife or strong community oversight. These patterns, while consistent with a low-crime urban setting, warrant continued monitoring to ensure sustained safety.

'Other theft' in Ravenshead is 43% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, suggesting local factors that may reduce opportunities for such crimes. Conversely, 'Possession of weapons' in the area is 186% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, an anomaly that could indicate specific enforcement patterns or reporting practices. These shifts highlight the volatility of crime types even in low-rate environments, with property-related crimes showing greater stability compared to violent offences.

With a population of 5,891, the area's small size and low crime numbers suggest a community with strong local policing or social cohesion factors that may contribute to the sustained safety.
