Pheasey Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Pheasey during April 2024 reveals a distinct pattern, with violence and sexual offences accounting for over half of all reported crimes. At 4.2 per 1,000 residents, the area’s crime rate is 45.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting a consistently lower incidence of crime compared to national trends. The breakdown shows that 51.2% of crimes were violent, a category that sits 18% below the UK average for this type. This contrasts sharply with property crimes, which make up 26.8% of the total (11 out of 41), a proportion significantly lower than the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also contribute less than a fifth of total crimes, both remaining far below the UK average. Seasonal factors in April—such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity—may partly explain fluctuations in certain categories, though the overall low rate suggests effective local measures or demographic characteristics that limit crime opportunities. The area’s relatively small population and urban character may contribute to this profile, with fewer high-risk environments typical of larger cities. This mix of crime types illustrates a balance skewed toward violent incidents, influenced by local social dynamics, while property and disorder-related crimes remain subdued.

April 2024 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences both doubling from March levels, rising by 100% to five and two incidents respectively. This increase, while notable, remains far below the UK average for both categories—anti-social behaviour is 59% below the UK rate, and public order offences are 62% below. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell sharply, with a 75% decrease from four to one incident, suggesting a seasonal dip in such activity. Violent crimes, though making up the largest share of reported incidents, remain 18% below the UK average for this category, indicating a consistent trend in Pheasey’s lower-than-national violent crime rates. Vehicle crime and burglary also show divergent trends, with vehicle crime slightly exceeding the UK average by 6%, and burglary being 25% above the UK rate. These variations highlight the complexity of local crime dynamics, where some categories align with national trends while others deviate significantly. A resident might find the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour particularly relevant, as it could signal emerging local issues requiring targeted attention.

The crime rate in Pheasey rose by 10.6% from March 2024’s rate of 3.8 per 1,000 to 4.2 per 1,000 in April, though it remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day, a figure that, while seemingly low, reflects the small population of 9,823 residents. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for every 240 residents, illustrating the relatively low monthly exposure to crime in this built-up area. When scaled to the population, this suggests that the likelihood of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than in many other UK areas. The previous month’s rate of 3.8 per 1,000 indicates a modest upward trend, but the overall rate is still 45.5% below the UK average. This comparison underscores Pheasey’s position as a safer area compared to national benchmarks, despite the recent increase. The population context also means that even a small number of crimes can represent a proportionally larger impact, as seen in the sharp rise of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. These statistics provide a nuanced view of local safety, balancing the upward trend against the broader context of national crime rates and the area’s demographic profile.
