Ravenshead Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area of Ravenshead’s population size—just under 5,900 residents—19 crimes reported in June 2025 equate to a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 people. This places the built-up area well below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap of 60.5%. The crime profile shows a clear focus on violent and anti-social incidents, with violence and sexual offences making up 31.6% of all recorded crimes (6 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (26.3%, 5 cases) and public order offences (15.8%, 3 cases). These figures align with the seasonal rhythm of June, the start of summer, when longer daylight hours and the onset of tourism may influence local dynamics. While the area’s low overall crime rate suggests a generally safe environment, the prominence of violent and anti-social incidents contrasts with the UK-wide trend, where property crimes and burglary typically dominate. This divergence may reflect Ravenshead’s character as a compact, commuter-oriented built-up area within Gedling, where community interactions and local amenities shape crime patterns differently than in larger urban centres. The absence of significant property crime—only 4 cases in total—further underscores the area’s distinct profile, though this could also be influenced by effective local policing or environmental factors that deter such offences.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in specific crime categories, with anti-social behaviour surging by 400% (from 1 to 5 cases) and public order offences doubling (from 1 to 3). Drugs-related incidents also rose by 100%, marking a first for the month. These spikes suggest a shift in the crime mix, with violent and disorderly conduct outpacing property crime for the first time in recent records. Violence and sexual offences—though still below the UK average by 65%—accounted for over a third of all crimes, a proportion significantly higher than the national trend where such offences typically make up around 29% of total incidents. The area’s violent crime rate (1.0 per 1,000) is 65% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a gap that may reflect the effectiveness of local interventions or the relatively low population density of Ravenshead compared to more densely populated regions. Residents might find the 100% increase in drug-related offences particularly noteworthy, as this category is typically minor in built-up areas but saw a marked rise this month.

The crime rate in June 2025 (3.2 per 1,000) represents a 26.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.6 per 1,000, indicating a modest upward trend. On a daily basis, this translates to roughly one crime reported per day in Ravenshead, a figure that may seem low but reflects the area’s small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 310 residents—a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively sparse distribution of incidents across the local population. When compared to the UK average, Ravenshead’s crime rate remains strikingly lower, with the gap widening in several categories. For instance, anti-social behaviour is 37% below the UK average, and criminal damage and arson are 66% below. These disparities suggest that factors such as community cohesion, local policing strategies, or even the physical layout of Ravenshead—perhaps a more compact, less sprawling built-up area—may contribute to the area’s consistently low crime levels. While the increase from May to June is notable, the overall context remains one of safety compared to national benchmarks, though residents may need to remain vigilant in areas where anti-social behaviour and public order offences have risen sharply.
