Pheasey Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Pheasey’s crime profile in June 2024, accounting for 57.9% of all reported incidents. This category, recorded at a rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents, remained 20% below the UK average (2.8 per 1,000), underscoring a persistent gap between local and national trends. The overall crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000—52.4% below the UK’s 8.2 per 1,000—reflects a broader pattern of lower criminal activity in this built-up area of Walsall. Anti-social behaviour and shoplifting followed as the next most common categories, with rates 79% and 52% below the UK average, respectively. The data aligns with seasonal patterns typical of early summer, when increased outdoor activity and tourism may contribute to higher rates of certain crimes, though Pheasey’s figures remain subdued. The absence of significant month-on-month changes in the overall rate suggests a stable environment, though the dominance of violent crime highlights the need for targeted interventions. The low levels of property crime, particularly vehicle crime and burglary, contrast with UK averages and may be influenced by the area’s compact nature and limited retail or industrial infrastructure. These findings reinforce the idea that Pheasey’s crime profile is shaped by its unique local dynamics, including its role within Walsall and the characteristics of its population.

June saw a 200% increase in shoplifting, with three incidents reported compared to one in May. This surge, though still below the UK average for the category (0.6 per 1,000), may reflect seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic in local retail areas during the summer. Burglary and other theft both doubled from zero to two incidents, marking a notable uptick that could be linked to warmer weather and extended daylight hours. Conversely, vehicle crime fell by 50%, aligning with the UK average (0.5 per 1,000) and indicating reduced opportunities for such crimes during the month. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by half, from six to three incidents, a decrease that may be attributed to the start of the summer season and changes in community activity patterns. Violence and sexual offences, at 2.2 per 1,000, remained 20% below the UK average, highlighting a persistent gap between Pheasey’s crime profile and national trends.

Pheasey's crime rate in June 2024 remained stable at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity, though the overall rate remains markedly lower than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, reflecting a low but persistent level of activity. When scaled to the local population, this equates to one reported crime for roughly every 259 residents over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the relatively low exposure to crime compared to larger urban centres. The stability in the monthly rate contrasts with broader UK trends, where crime rates often show more pronounced seasonal variations. For residents, this suggests that while Pheasey is not immune to crime, its crime profile remains distinct from national patterns, with violent crime dominating the local landscape despite the area’s small population.
