Ravenshead Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead's crime rate in March 2025 stood at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 69.2% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This stark contrast underscores the area's consistently low crime profile, a trend reinforced by its unique distribution of crime types. Violence and sexual offences dominated the breakdown, accounting for 35.7% of all reported crimes—though this figure remains 67% below the UK average. Shoplifting and anti-social behaviour followed closely, each contributing 14.3% of incidents, both significantly lower than national benchmarks. The seasonal transition in March, with longer evenings and the clocks changing, likely influenced patterns of activity, though the overall low rate suggests structural factors contribute to Ravenshead's safety. The area's built-up nature within Gedling may foster community cohesion, potentially reducing opportunities for crime. However, the emergence of criminal damage and arson as a new category in March raises questions about transient influences. The data also highlights a unique anomaly: 'other crime' exceeded the UK average by 58%, a deviation that may reflect local-specific reporting practices or unclassified incidents. While the overall crime rate remains exceptionally low, the month-on-month increases in violence and property-related crimes signal areas warranting continued attention.

Ravenshead's crime rate in March 2025 rose by 133.3% compared to February 2025, marking a notable upward shift despite remaining well below the UK average. This increase contrasts with the area's historically low crime profile, suggesting transient factors may have influenced the month.
