Bodicote Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bodicote’s crime profile in September 2025 stands in stark contrast to the UK average, with an overall rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents — 77% below the national figure of 7.4 per 1,000. This anomaly reflects a community where crime remains a rare occurrence, even as seasonal factors like the start of the academic year and shorter evenings influence local patterns. Violence and sexual offences dominate the crime profile, accounting for 54.6% of all reported incidents, though this category remains 61% below the UK average. Public order offences and anti-social behaviour follow, with the latter seeing an 80% monthly decline. The data suggests that Bodicote’s built-up character, possibly shaped by a mix of residential and small-scale commercial areas, contributes to a crime environment where property crimes are exceptionally rare. With only one property crime recorded — a theft — in a month marked by back-to-school activity and the onset of cooler weather, the area’s low crime density appears to be consistent with its likely rural-adjacent setting. Seasonal transitions may play a role in shaping crime trends: the reduction in anti-social behaviour could be linked to the closure of summer festivals or the return of students to structured routines. However, the persistent prevalence of violence and sexual offences, despite their UK-wide decline, raises questions about localized factors such as community cohesion or access to support services. While direct causes, the combination of low overall rates and specific category trends illustrates a place where crime is not a defining feature of daily life, even as it remains an area of interest for comparative analysis.

September 2025 saw significant declines in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour dropping by 80% (from 5 to 1) and other theft falling by 66.7% (from 3 to 1). These decreases, coupled with a 33.3% reduction in violence and sexual offences (from 9 to 6), suggest a shift in crime patterns that may reflect seasonal changes or community-led interventions. Violence and sexual offences remain the most prevalent category, contributing 54.6% of all reported crimes — a rate 61% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends indicates that Bodicote’s residents face a markedly lower risk of violent crime than the average UK citizen. The breakdown also reveals that public order offences, while accounting for 27.3% of crimes, remain 7% below the UK average, further reinforcing the area’s distinct profile. For residents, the data offers reassurance that even as the academic year begins, the local crime profile remains relatively stable.

Bodicote’s September 2025 crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 59.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.3 per 1,000. This sharp drop aligns with the transition from late summer to early autumn, a period often associated with reduced public activity as evenings grow darker. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 575 residents — a figure that underscores the area’s low crime density relative to its population size. Daily crime counts averaged 0.37 per day, though this local statistic cannot be directly compared to UK-wide daily figures, which are not available for this area. When scaled to the population, the 11 total crimes recorded in September represent a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low, reflecting a community where routine interactions with crime are rare. This contrast with the UK average highlights Bodicote’s unique position as a place where crime remains a distant concern for most residents, even as seasonal shifts influence local dynamics.
