Ravenshead Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

April 2025 presented a mixed picture for crime in Ravenshead, with a 21.4% month-on-month increase in overall crime rates. below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000 residents. The area's crime profile continued to be dominated by property-related offences, with violence and sexual offences (4 incidents) and anti-social behaviour (4 incidents) accounting for 47% of total crimes. This aligns with the area's character as a built-up district within Gedling, where residential density and community spaces may contribute to anti-social incidents. However, the sharp rise in property crimes—including a doubling of burglary and vehicle crime—suggests evolving patterns that may be influenced by seasonal factors. April's spring weather and Easter-related activity likely increased outdoor presence, creating opportunities for theft. While violent crime decreased by 20% from March, this may reflect the impact of local initiatives targeting aggressive behaviour. The relatively low crime rate compared to the UK average underscores Ravenshead's effectiveness in maintaining community safety, but the upward trend in property crimes indicates areas for continued vigilance. The area's small population size (5,891) and built-up nature likely contribute to its distinct crime profile, where concentrated spaces may both foster community cohesion and create micro-environments for certain types of crime.

April 2025 saw three crime categories doubling from March: other theft, vehicle crime, and burglary. This surge in property-related offences—now accounting for 58.8% of all crimes—contrasts with a 20% decline in violence and sexual offences. The rise in vehicle crime, now at 0.2 per 1,000 residents, is 47% below the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000 but marks a stark departure from the previous month's zero incidents. Other thefts—now comprising 11.8% of total crimes—have jumped to 0.3 per 1,000, a rate 40% below the UK average. While anti-social behaviour remains the second most common category (23.5% of total crimes), its rate of 0.7 per 1,000 is 47% below the UK average. Residents should be particularly vigilant around parked vehicles and unsecured property, given the doubling of vehicle crime and theft incidents. The decline in violent crime, however, suggests that community safety initiatives may be having a measurable impact.

Ravenshead's crime rate in April 2025 rose by 21.4% compared to March 2025, increasing from 2.4 to 2.9 per 1,000 residents. This upward trend, though still far below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, signals a shift in local patterns. On a daily basis, 17 crimes were reported over 30 days, equating to roughly 1 crime per day. This translates to a monthly exposure rate of 1 reported crime for every 347 residents, a figure that, while low, warrants awareness of recent fluctuations. When scaled to the area's population of 5,891, this means a resident has a 1-in-347 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime during the month. The increase in property-related crimes, including burglary and vehicle crime, contrasts with the continued decline in violent crime, suggesting shifting dynamics in local criminal activity. This monthly context provides a snapshot of how crime distribution may evolve, even within a historically low-crime area.
