Ravenshead Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead’s crime profile in January 2025 reveals a striking imbalance between property and violent offences, with property crimes accounting for 57% of total incidents (8 out of 14). This dominance of property-related issues—particularly other theft, which rose sharply—suggests a distinct pattern compared to the UK average, where violent crime typically dominates. The area’s overall crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents is 66.2% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, a gap that may be influenced by Ravenshead’s built-up character within Gedling, where community cohesion or policing presence could mitigate violent incidents. Seasonal context also plays a role: January’s post-holiday period, shorter days, and reduced retail footfall likely contribute to lower outdoor crime rates, though the surge in other theft may indicate vulnerabilities in residential or commercial spaces. Top crime types include other theft (28.6%) and violence and sexual offences (28.6%), with the latter remaining 72% below the UK average. This balance hints at a local dynamic where property-focused crimes are more prevalent, due to the area’s urban density or economic factors. The low overall rate, combined with the shift in crime mix, illustrates an area where safety is generally maintained, but targeted vulnerabilities—such as unsecured properties or specific retail sectors—require attention.

January 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in other theft, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This surge, while significant, contrasts with a 33.3% drop in violent crimes, which fell from 6 to 4. The shift in crime mix highlights property crimes’ dominance, accounting for 57% of total incidents compared to 28.6% for violent offences. Other theft in Ravenshead is 43% above the UK average (0.5 per 1,000), suggesting localized factors—such as retail or residential vulnerabilities—may be at play. Meanwhile, violent crime remains 72% below the UK average (2.5 per 1,000), a gap that likely reflects the area’s demographic or geographic profile. Residents may find the 300% rise in theft particularly relevant, as it indicates a sharp but isolated spike in this category.
