Lutterworth Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Lutterworth’s crime profile in March 2023 reveals a striking contrast between its overall safety and a single outlier category. While the area’s crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents is 48.7% below the UK average, robbery rates stood out as the only category exceeding the national benchmark by 11%. This anomaly is tempered by the dominance of violent crimes, which accounted for 47.9% of all incidents.9 per 1,000 remains 31% below the UK average for this category. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences, followed by public order and burglary, a pattern consistent with the built-up area’s characteristics. Seasonal factors may have influenced these trends: as March transitions to spring, lengthening evenings and the clocks changing could have affected outdoor activity patterns, contributing to the prominence of violent crimes. However, the overall low rate across most categories—particularly shoplifting, anti-social behaviour, and criminal damage—suggests a community environment where crime is infrequent, with local initiatives or demographic factors likely playing a role. The data also highlights the importance of context-specific analysis: while robbery rates deviate from the norm, the area’s broader crime profile remains significantly safer than the UK average, reflecting the combination of local conditions and national trends.

March 2023 saw robbery rates in Lutterworth at 0.1 per 1,000 residents, 11% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly contrasts sharply with the area’s overall safety, where most crime categories remain significantly below national levels. Violent crimes accounted for nearly half (47.9%) of total incidents.9 per 1,000 is 31% below the UK average for this category. Shoplifting and anti-social behaviour were particularly low, with rates 39% and 81% below the UK average respectively, potentially reflecting strong community engagement or effective local enforcement. For residents, the daily crime count of two incidents offers a clear, manageable context for assessing risk, despite the outlier in robbery rates.

Lutterworth’s crime rate in March 2023, at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, remains significantly lower than the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This translates to roughly two reported crimes per day, a figure that reflects the area’s consistently low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 260 residents, a rate that underscores the relative safety of the built-up area. With a population of 12,459, the local context suggests that community cohesion and local policing efforts may contribute to this trend. While the overall rate is well below the national average, the daily crime count provides a tangible measure for residents: in practical terms, the likelihood of experiencing a crime is low. The monthly exposure statistic further illustrates that even in a small town like Lutterworth, crime remains a rare occurrence, with most residents unlikely to encounter it directly.
