Barwell Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Barwell's crime rate stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure that translates to 46 total crimes across the built-up area's population of 9,135. This rate is 41.2% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. The breakdown of incidents reveals a stark focus on violent crimes, which accounted for 67.4% of all recorded offences—31 cases in total. This concentration of violent incidents, including 31 cases of violence and sexual offences, contrasts sharply with the 4 property crimes reported, which were evenly split between theft and vehicle-related offences. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and early summer activities, may have contributed to the prominence of violent and public order offences. While the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.9 per 1,000, Barwell's rate of 3.4 per 1,000 suggests a localised concentration of such incidents that warrants further analysis. The relatively low property crime rate, particularly with anti-social behaviour incidents at 0.2 per 1,000 (86% below the UK average), indicates a different crime dynamic compared to larger urban areas where property-related offences are more prevalent.

June 2023 saw a striking 250% increase in public order offences, rising from 2 to 7 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in vehicle crime and possession of weapons, highlights shifting patterns in local crime dynamics. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour and other theft cases both fell by 50%, suggesting targeted interventions may have had an impact. Violent crimes remained the dominant category, contributing 67.4% of all incidents—16% above the UK average for this category. The sharp rise in public order offences may reflect increased community activity during the summer months. Residents may find the 46 total crimes recorded in June—a figure that translates to roughly 2 incidents per day—particularly relevant for understanding local safety context.

Barwell's crime rate in June 2023 rose slightly to 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a 9.6% increase from the previous month's 4.6. This translates to roughly two crimes reported each day across the built-up area, which has a population of 9,135. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 199 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. While the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, the increase from May highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of trends. The daily crime count, though low, underscores that even in areas with historically low crime rates, fluctuations can occur. This monthly exposure metric offers a tangible way for residents to grasp the scale of incidents relative to their community size, helping to avoid overestimating risk while remaining aware of local patterns.
