Pheasey Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Pheasey's crime rate in November 2024 stood at 2.8 per 1,000 residents, a figure that translates to an everyday risk of approximately one in 364 residents experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. This rate is 63.2% below the UK average, a significant gap that reflects the area's unique characteristics as a compact built-up zone within Walsall. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 59.3% of all incidents, though this category remains 38% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday shopping, and extended periods of darkness—raises questions about how these factors might influence crime patterns. Typically, Black Friday could see spikes in shoplifting or theft, yet Pheasey's shoplifting rate of 0.1 per 1,000 is 86% below the UK average, suggesting that local retail environments or community engagement may mitigate such risks. Similarly, the area's low burglary rate, at 0.3 per 1,000 (3% below the UK average), may be attributed to the density of built-up areas and the presence of community policing initiatives. The relatively low crime rate, even amid seasonal fluctuations, indicates that Pheasey's residents face a markedly lower risk of encountering crime compared to the national average, though the persistent presence of violent offences underscores the need for targeted interventions in this category.

November 2024 saw notable fluctuations in crime types, with public order offences dropping by 75% compared to October, likely reflecting reduced social gatherings during darker evenings. Vehicle crime also fell sharply, down 66.7%, possibly linked to fewer outdoor activities during the month. Conversely, other crime increased by 100%, though this category remains a small proportion of total incidents. Violent crime, which constitutes 59.3% of all reported crimes, is 38% below the UK average, a disparity that may be influenced by Pheasey's compact built-up area and community-focused policing. Burglary, at 0.3 per 1,000, is just 3% below the UK average, suggesting that while property crime is rare, it remains a concern for residents. The sharp decline in public order offences offers a concrete data point for locals: with only one incident reported this month, the likelihood of encountering such crime in Pheasey is significantly lower than in many comparable areas.

Pheasey's crime rate in November 2024 dropped by 34.1% compared to the previous month, falling from 4.2 to 2.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline suggests a possible shift in local dynamics, though no definitive causal link can be drawn from the data alone. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the rate as relatively low even for a built-up area. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 364 residents, a statistic that translates to a monthly exposure rate of approximately 0.27% for any given individual. When scaled to the area's population of 9,823, this highlights that the vast majority of residents are not directly affected by crime, a pattern consistent with Pheasey's historically low crime profile. The comparison to the UK average further underscores this safety, with the area's crime rate 63.2% below the national figure, a gap that persists across multiple categories.
