Bodicote Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bodicote’s crime rate in January 2025 stood at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 80.3% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends underscores the area’s unique safety profile, though the low crime rate may be influenced by a combination of local characteristics and seasonal dynamics. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.4% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (22.2%) and criminal damage and arson (11.1%). These figures suggest that interpersonal conflicts and minor disturbances, rather than property-related crimes, dominate the local crime picture. January’s post-holiday context—marked by reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours—may have contributed to the lower overall crime rate, as outdoor activities and commercial interactions typically linked to theft and burglary are curtailed. However, the presence of violence and sexual offences at a rate 76% below the UK average (2.5 per 1,000) indicates that while the area is generally safe, targeted interventions may still be necessary to address specific incidents. The low frequency of property crimes, particularly burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and other theft (0.2 per 1,000), which are both significantly below UK averages, could be attributed to factors such as secure housing stock or community vigilance. These patterns, while encouraging, warrant continued attention to ensure that the area’s safety remains a priority as local conditions evolve.

January 2025 saw a notable shift in crime composition, with violent crimes (4 incidents) outnumbering property crimes (3 incidents). This balance, while not unprecedented, contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes typically constitute a smaller share. Among month-on-month changes, violence and sexual offences rose by 33.3%, reflecting a jump from 3 to 4 incidents—a trend that may be linked to seasonal factors such as reduced social activity during colder weather. Conversely, other theft and burglary both declined sharply: other theft fell by 75.0% (from 4 to 1), and burglary dropped by 66.7% (from 3 to 1). These decreases, particularly in burglary, could indicate improved security measures or a temporary lull in opportunistic crimes. The rise in anti-social behaviour (+100.0%) and criminal damage and arson (+100.0%) from zero to 2 and 1 incidents respectively, respectively, suggests a need for closer monitoring of public spaces, especially given the area’s low baseline crime rate.

Bodicote’s crime rate in January 2025 dropped to 1.4 per 1,000 residents, a 43.9% decline from the previous month’s rate of 2.5 per 1,000. This reduction, while modest, aligns with the seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period marked by shorter days and reduced retail activity. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day over the 31-day month, a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents relative to the population. When scaled to monthly exposure, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 703 residents, a statistic that highlights the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. Compared to the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000, Bodicote’s crime rate remains exceptionally low, though the population-scaled perspective offers a more tangible sense of risk for residents. This contrast with national trends suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion or environmental design—may contribute to the area’s safety profile, though further analysis would be needed to confirm such connections.
