Pheasey Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Pheasey’s crime rate in May 2025 remained at 3.2 per 1,000 residents, 60.5% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure, while showing a 3.6% increase from April, is consistent with the area’s long-standing position as one of the UK’s safer built-up areas. The breakdown of crimes reveals a clear dominance of violent offences, which accounted for 48.4% of all incidents (15 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (12.9%) and vehicle crime (9.7%). This violent crime rate of 1.5 per 1,000 is 47% below the UK average, suggesting that Pheasey’s social dynamics—possibly influenced by its compact, community-oriented layout—help mitigate more severe incidents. Seasonal factors likely played a role in shaping these patterns: longer evenings and bank holidays in May may have increased outdoor socialising, aligning with the 48.4% share of violent crimes and the 12.9% anti-social behaviour rate. However, the area’s low property crime rate (only 5 incidents, 16% of total) contrasts sharply with the UK average, where property crimes typically make up a larger portion of the total. This may reflect Pheasey’s limited retail presence and lower foot traffic compared to larger urban centres. The UK average for 'possession of weapons' is 0.1 per 1,000, while Pheasey recorded 0.2 per 1,000, a 150% above average figure, indicating a specific local concern that warrants further attention.

May 2025 saw three crime categories surge by 100% compared to April: 'other crime', 'drugs', and 'possession of weapons'. This dramatic rise in drug-related offences—jumping from zero to two incidents—suggests a possible seasonal shift, with longer evenings and bank holidays potentially increasing opportunities for such activities. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 20% (from five to four incidents), and violent crimes dropped by 6.3% (from 16 to 15), reflecting a slight easing of tensions in public spaces. The area’s violent crime rate of 1.5 per 1,000 remains 47% below the UK average, a stark contrast to the 25% above UK levels seen in 'other crime' and the 150% above average for 'possession of weapons'. These figures indicate a complex mix of local factors, with Pheasey’s compact built-up area likely fostering both community cohesion and concentrated pockets of risk. A resident might find the 100% rise in drug-related crimes particularly noteworthy, as it signals a need for targeted local awareness.

Pheasey’s crime rate in May 2025 rose 3.6% compared to April, from 3.1 to 3.2 per 1,000 residents. While this slight increase is within normal fluctuation ranges, the daily crime context reveals a manageable local pattern: 1 crime reported per day across the built-up area. Over the course of the month, this translates to 1 reported crime for every 317 residents, a figure that highlights the area’s relatively low exposure compared to national averages. Population context further underscores this: with 9,823 residents, the monthly total of 31 crimes means each resident faces a 0.0032 chance of being directly involved in a crime. This aligns with Pheasey’s consistent position as one of the UK’s safer built-up areas, where community policing and local initiatives likely contribute to sustained low rates. The comparison to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000 reinforces this, with Pheasey’s rate remaining 60.5% below the national figure despite the small upward trend in May.
