Ravenshead Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Ravenshead, a built-up area within Gedling, recorded a crime rate of 1.2 per 1,000 residents in February 2026, placing it 81.2% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national statistics underscores the area's unique crime profile, shaped by its size, location, and seasonal dynamics. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 71.4% of all reported crimes (5 incidents), though this rate (0.9 per 1,000) was 61% below the UK average of 2.3 per 1,000. Property crimes, though minimal, also reflected a pronounced gap compared to the UK, with only 1 incident (0.2 per 1,000) reported. This aligns with the seasonal context of February, a winter month marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in public engagement, which likely contributes to lower crime rates. The area's small population and localized nature further amplify these trends, as crime patterns in such environments are often influenced by the density of community interactions and the physical constraints of the built-up area. While the rise in violent crimes by 150% compared to the previous month is notable, the absolute numbers remain low, emphasizing that Ravenshead continues to maintain a significantly safer environment than the UK average.

February 2026 witnessed a 150% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge, though still well below the UK average of 2.3 per 1,000, highlights a shift in the crime mix toward violent incidents. The overall crime rate remains 81.2% below the UK average, with property crimes at 1 incident (0.2 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour at 1 incident (0.2 per 1,000), both significantly lower than their respective UK averages. Anti-social behaviour in Ravenshead is 78% below the national average of 0.9 per 1,000, suggesting a community with comparatively low levels of disorderly conduct. Residents might find the 150% rise in violent crimes a point of concern, though the absolute numbers remain low given the area's small population.

Ravenshead's crime rate in February 2026 dropped by 46.2% compared to the previous month, reflecting a marked decline from 2.2 to 1.2 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with the seasonal context of February, a winter month typically associated with lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull in public engagement. Daily crime statistics for the area show an average of 0.25 crimes per day over the 28-day period, equating to roughly zero crimes per day in practical terms. When considering the population-scaled perspective, the monthly exposure to crime is 1 reported incident for every 842 residents, a figure that underscores the area's relatively low risk profile. With a population of 5,891, the combination of low daily crime counts and the monthly exposure metric illustrates a community where crime is infrequent and largely isolated. This contrasts sharply with national averages, though Ravenshead's data remains distinct due to its small size and localized dynamics.
