Violence and sexual offences dominate Pheasey’s crime profile in June 2023, accounting for 45% of all reported incidents. With a total crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 51.8% below the UK average of 8.5, a significant gap that reflects its smaller, more contained built-up character. The breakdown reveals that violence and sexual offences—18 cases—far outpace other categories, followed by anti-social behaviour (6 cases) and criminal damage (5 cases). This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where violence constitutes 38% of all crimes, compared to Pheasey’s 45%. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the start of summer, may contribute to higher visibility of certain crimes. Anti-social behaviour, at 15% of reports, is 59% below the UK average, a disparity that may be linked to community cohesion or local policing efforts. Meanwhile, vehicle crime. from the previous month, still matches the UK average at 0.5 per 1,000. These figures suggest that Pheasey’s crime profile is shaped by its urban-rural interface, with limited exposure to the high-density dynamics of larger cities. The dominance of violence, however, highlights a need for targeted interventions in local hotspots, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or social gatherings.

June 2023 saw a 50% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 12 to 18 cases—a sharp shift that outpaces other categories. Criminal damage and arson surged by 150%, jumping from 2 to 5 incidents, possibly linked to seasonal factors such as the start of summer and increased outdoor activity. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by 37.5%, dropping from 8 to 5, suggesting a temporary decline in opportunities for such offences. Anti-social behaviour, which constitutes 15% of reported crimes, remains 59% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect the area’s community-focused environment. Possession of weapons rose by 100%, a single incident that, while statistically minor, highlights a potential concern in local policing priorities. These shifts illustrate a mixed picture: while some categories align with national trends, others diverge significantly, pointing to unique local dynamics.

Pheasey’s June 2023 crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents marks a 2.4% decline from the previous month’s 4.2, reflecting a slight but consistent trend in local safety. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 246 residents—a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of one crime per day, a rate that, while low, underscores the need for vigilance in community areas. When compared to the UK average, Pheasey’s overall rate remains 51.8% below, a disparity that aligns with its smaller, more tightly knit built-up area profile. The population of 9,823 residents further scales these figures, meaning individual risk remains minimal compared to larger urban centres. This low rate, combined with the monthly exposure metric, suggests that residents are less likely to encounter crime than those in more densely populated regions, though localised patterns—such as spikes in violence—warrant closer attention.
