Lutterworth Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Lutterworth, the crime rate of 4.2 per 1,000 in June 2025 means a 1-in-240 chance of experiencing a crime monthly—a figure that remains 48.1% below the UK average. This per-capita perspective reveals that while the area is not immune to crime, its rates are markedly lower than national benchmarks. The top three crime types—violence and sexual offences (28.9% of total), anti-social behaviour (23.1%), and shoplifting (11.5%)—highlight a mix of personal and public safety concerns. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.2 per 1,000, are 58% below the UK average, possibly reflecting local initiatives or community cohesion. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, is 30% below the UK rate, suggesting that community policing or environmental design may be reducing such incidents. Shoplifting, though a smaller share of total crimes, is 21% below the UK average, a trend consistent with Lutterworth’s likely retail profile, which may involve fewer high-traffic commercial zones compared to larger urban centres. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—could explain shifts in crime patterns, such as increased anti-social behaviour linked to extended daylight hours or tourism. However, the overall low crime rate suggests that local factors, such as strong community engagement or effective policing, are likely contributing to this sustained gap from national averages. Residents may also consider the area’s character as a relatively small built-up area within Harborough, where lower population density and more dispersed residential patterns could naturally limit certain types of crime. These dynamics illustrate how local conditions interact with broader trends, shaping the unique crime profile of Lutterworth.

June saw sharp increases in burglary, anti-social behaviour, and drugs, each doubling from May’s figures. Burglary, for instance, rose from 0 to 2 incidents—a 100% jump—suggesting heightened vulnerability in certain areas, possibly linked to seasonal property activity or localised patterns. Anti-social behaviour also doubled to 12 incidents, a figure consistent with the start of summer, when increased social gatherings could contribute to such reports. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 37.5% compared to May, reflecting seasonal factors or targeted interventions. Violence and sexual offences, at 1.2 per 1,000, remain 58% below the UK average, indicating that local initiatives or community cohesion may be effective in mitigating such crimes. This contrast between rising and falling categories highlights a dynamic crime profile, where some areas of concern are expanding while others show improvement. For residents, the data on anti-social behaviour—now at 23.1% of total crimes—provides a concrete insight into the most prevalent local issue, offering a focus for community action.

Lutterworth’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 29.9% increase from the previous month’s 3.2 per 1,000. This translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day across the built-up area, a figure that remains significantly lower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 240 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low risk residents face compared to national benchmarks. This per-capita perspective is critical for understanding personal safety: even with the month-on-month rise, Lutterworth’s rate remains 48.1% below the UK average, suggesting a combination of local factors—such as community engagement, policing strategies, or seasonal dynamics—may contribute to this sustained gap. The population-scaled analysis also reveals that while the absolute number of crimes has grown, the rate of increase is proportionally modest, indicating that the area’s overall crime profile remains stable despite the upward trend. This context is essential for residents assessing risk, as it highlights that local conditions, rather than national patterns, likely shape these figures.
