Pheasey Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Pheasey's crime rate stood at 3.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 52% below the UK average of 7.5. This figure translates to an individual risk of encountering a crime roughly once every 281 residents over the course of the month, a statistic that contextualises the low level of risk faced by the area's population. The most frequently reported crimes were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.7% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour at 11.4% and robbery at 8.6%. These patterns align with the seasonal context of November, which includes darker evenings, the Black Friday shopping period, and the Bonfire Night celebrations—factors that may influence both the frequency and nature of reported crimes. The relatively low rate of property crimes compared to violent crimes suggests a different set of local dynamics at play, potentially reflecting the area's character as a built-up residential zone within Walsall. While the overall crime rate remains below the UK average, the 200% higher rate of robbery compared to the national average indicates a specific challenge that requires targeted attention. The interplay between seasonal events and crime types highlights the need for a nuanced understanding of how external factors shape local crime profiles, even in areas with historically low crime levels.

November 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Pheasey. The most significant increase occurred in drug-related offences, which rose by 100% from zero to one incident, marking a new trend in the area. Similarly, other crime and burglary both doubled compared to the previous month, reflecting potential changes in local dynamics or seasonal factors. Conversely, other theft cases dropped by 83.3%, from six to one, suggesting a possible reduction in opportunistic crimes during this period. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, contributing 45.7% of all incidents, yet this rate is 38% below the UK average. Robbery, though a smaller proportion of total crimes, is strikingly 200% above the UK average, highlighting a unique challenge in Pheasey compared to other areas. These fluctuations underscore the importance of monitoring specific categories to understand local crime trends accurately.

Pheasey's crime rate in November 2023 rose slightly to 3.6 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% increase from the previous month's 3.5. This small upward trend contrasts with the area's broader historical context of consistently low crime levels, which have long positioned it below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day during November, a figure that, while low, reflects the ongoing presence of crime in even the most secure communities. When viewed through the lens of population exposure, the 35 total crimes reported in November equate to one crime for every 281 residents over the course of the month. This monthly aggregate highlights the relatively low risk faced by individuals in Pheasey compared to other parts of the UK, where the average resident encounters a significantly higher frequency of crime. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while crime does occur, its impact is proportionally minor in this built-up area within Walsall.
