Ravenshead Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead, a built-up area within Gedling, recorded a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents in August 2025, placing it 85.2% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This exceptionally low rate reflects a safety profile that diverges sharply from national trends, with violent crimes (3 incidents) making up 42.9% of total reported offences. The area's crime picture is shaped by a combination of seasonal factors and local characteristics: as a built-up area with a mix of residential and commercial zones, Ravenshead likely experiences lower crime rates due to its compact nature and potential community cohesion. August, a peak holiday month, typically sees increased tourism and empty homes, which may contribute to a small but measurable rise in burglary risks. However, the data shows no such increase in this category, suggesting strong local security measures or effective policing. The breakdown of offences reveals a focus on violence and sexual offences (3 incidents) and other theft (2 incidents), with the former being 83% below the UK average. This highlights a local trend of lower violent crime compared to national standards, possibly linked to the area's demographic profile or the presence of community initiatives. The low crime rate is further reinforced by the minimal impact of seasonal fluctuations, with no significant spikes in property crimes despite the August context. Ravenshead's crime profile thus illustrates a combination of geographic stability, effective local crime prevention, and a demographic structure that may reduce exposure to high-risk factors common in larger urban centres.

August 2025 marked a shift in specific crime categories, with other theft, other crime, and anti-social behaviour each experiencing a 100% increase month-on-month. This rise in non-violent incidents, while modest in absolute terms, suggests a possible shift in crime dynamics. Violent crimes—accounting for 42.9% of total incidents—remain 83% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 25% above average for 'other crime' in the same category. The breakdown reveals a mixed picture: while property crimes (2 incidents) are lower than the UK average for similar categories, violent crimes dominate the local profile. A resident would find the 1-in-842 monthly exposure rate particularly useful for understanding risk, as it contextualises the rarity of incidents. These figures highlight a balance between persistent low-level crime and the area's overall safety compared to national benchmarks.

Ravenshead's crime rate in August 2025 remained stable at 1.2 per 1,000 residents compared to the previous month, reflecting consistent safety levels. This equates to roughly 0 crimes reported per day over the 31-day period, a figure that underscores the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population of 5,891, the monthly exposure means one reported crime occurred for approximately every 842 residents—a rate that is 85.2% below the UK average. This stark contrast highlights Ravenshead's position as a significantly safer area than the national average. While the daily crime count is effectively zero, the monthly aggregate provides context for residents: over the course of the month, the likelihood of encountering a crime is exceptionally low, reinforcing the area's overall safety profile. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates how crime remains an infrequent occurrence, even when considering the area's built-up nature and potential seasonal fluctuations.
