Lutterworth Crime Rate March 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Lutterworth's crime rate in March 2024 stood at 4.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 39% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure reflects a community where crime remains subdued, with the most prevalent category being violence and sexual offences (18 incidents, 30.5% of total), which are 48% below the UK average. The breakdown reveals a mix of low-level and property-related crimes, with criminal damage and arson (10 incidents) and shoplifting (9 incidents) accounting for 17% and 15.3% of total crimes, respectively. These rates, while slightly above the UK average for criminal damage (38% above) and shoplifting (15% above), are mitigated by the area's overall low crime profile. March, a transitional month with longer evenings and the clocks changing, may have influenced activity patterns. The dominance of violent crime as the most common category contrasts with Lutterworth's broader trend of property-related offences being 57% below the UK average, suggesting a unique local dynamic that warrants further exploration.

March 2024 saw marked shifts in specific crime categories, with anti-social behaviour surging by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and criminal damage and arson rising by 150% (from 4 to 10). These increases, though notable, remain below the UK average for criminal damage (38% above) and shoplifting (15% above). Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 60% (from 5 to 2), aligning with Lutterworth's broader trend of vehicle-related offences being 57% below the national average. The violent crime category, which accounted for 30.5% of total incidents, fell by 21.7% (from 23 to 18), maintaining its position as 48% below the UK average. This contrast between rising anti-social behaviour and declining violent crime suggests a combination of local factors, such as seasonal changes or community initiatives.

Lutterworth's crime rate remained stable at 4.7 per 1,000 residents in March 2024, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity, though the rate remains 39% below the UK average. Daily crime reporting reveals an average of two incidents per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the area's generally secure environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 211 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Lutterworth well below the national benchmark. The population context further reinforces this: with 12,459 residents, the relatively low number of reported crimes underscores the area's effectiveness in maintaining public safety. These metrics, when viewed alongside the breakdown of crime types, highlight a community where property-related incidents and violent crimes are suppressed compared to national trends.
