Pheasey Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Pheasey’s crime rate in February 2024 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure 46.5% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This performance places the area among the safest in the country, with its crime profile shaped by a combination of local factors and seasonal trends. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 37.8% of total crimes, followed by burglary (13.5%) and anti-social behaviour (10.8%). The dominance of violent crimes, despite their lower rate compared to the UK average, may reflect Pheasey’s built-up nature, where interpersonal conflicts in densely populated areas can escalate quickly. Conversely, property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remain relatively low, a trend consistent with the area’s compact layout and community policing efforts. February’s winter conditions, with reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, likely contributed to the overall stability in crime rates, though this is not a guaranteed pattern. The area’s performance against the UK average underscores the effectiveness of local strategies, though the persistence of burglary at 67% above the national rate indicates targeted challenges. These patterns suggest that while Pheasey benefits from strong community cohesion and policing, specific vulnerabilities—such as the higher burglary rate—require sustained attention.

February 2024 marked a stark contrast in crime trends, with robbery incidents doubling from one to two, a 100% increase. This surge, though modest in absolute terms, suggests a shift in criminal focus, possibly linked to seasonal transitions or localized factors. Simultaneously, vehicle crime dropped sharply by 57.1%, from seven to three, a decline that may reflect reduced outdoor activity during winter or enhanced vehicle security measures in the area. Shoplifting also fell by 50%, from two to one, aligning with the pre-spring lull in retail activity. Burglary rates in Pheasey remain 67% above the UK average, with five incidents reported in February—highlighting a persistent local challenge. Violence and sexual offences, however, are 44% below the UK average, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, indicating that Pheasey’s overall safety profile continues to outperform national trends. For residents, the 57.1% drop in vehicle crime offers a tangible reassurance, particularly for those with cars stored in communal spaces or on residential streets.

February 2024 saw a 9.6% decrease in Pheasey’s crime rate compared to January, dropping from 4.2 to 3.8 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with the typically lower crime activity observed in winter months, when outdoor activity diminishes and community engagement shifts indoors. On a daily basis, Pheasey recorded approximately one reported crime per day in February—a figure that, while consistent with the area’s historical pattern, reflects the relatively low overall crime rate compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 265 residents, illustrating the area’s continued safety profile relative to its population size. This monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, which sees one crime for every 140 residents. The population-scaled perspective further highlights Pheasey’s resilience, with its built-up nature and compact community likely contributing to faster response times and stronger local policing presence. While the drop from January is modest, it underscores the stability of Pheasey’s crime trends during the winter season, a period when crime rates nationally tend to peak due to colder weather and holiday-related factors.
