Warboys Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Warboys during April 2024 reveals a profile dominated by violent offences, which accounted for 77.8% of all reported crimes—a striking contrast to the UK average, where violent crimes make up 45% of the total. With a crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents, Warboys' overall rate is 76.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting the area's relative safety. The breakdown of crimes shows that violence and sexual offences (7 incidents) far outstrip property crimes (2 incidents), a pattern consistent with the characteristics of a built-up area within a rural district. This imbalance may reflect the community's dynamics, such as the presence of local amenities or social interactions that could influence crime types. Seasonal factors in April—Easter, spring weather, and increased outdoor activity—likely play a role in shaping crime patterns, though the low overall rate suggests that these factors have not led to a surge in incidents. The dominance of violent crimes over property crimes contrasts with typical trends in larger urban centres, where property crime often dominates. This may indicate a unique local context, such as a smaller population or stronger community networks that reduce opportunities for property-related offences. The low burglary rate (0.4 per 1,000) compared to the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) further underscores the area's safety, though the 25% increase above the UK average for this category suggests room for further analysis. The combination of these factors illustrates a community where personal safety remains a priority, yet the presence of violent incidents—however rare—remains a concern for local authorities and residents alike.

April 2024 saw a stark shift in Warboys' crime profile, with violent crimes comprising 77.8% of total incidents—significantly above the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000, 45% below Warboys' rate). This contrasts with the previous month, where violence and sexual offences accounted for 9 out of 12 total crimes. Meanwhile, burglary increased by 100.0% (from 1 to 2 incidents), though this remains below the UK average for burglary (0.3 per 1,000, 25% above Warboys' rate). The month-on-month decrease in violent crimes—22.2% (from 9 to 7)—may reflect seasonal factors, such as the Easter period and early spring weather, which often see shifts in public activity patterns. Residents may find the 77.8% dominance of violent crimes noteworthy, particularly given the area's otherwise low overall crime rate.

Warboys' crime rate in April 2024 (1.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 50.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the seasonal shift into spring, when outdoor activity typically rises but local crime statistics show a contrasting trend. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day in April—a figure that, while statistically precise, may appear surprising to residents accustomed to low crime environments. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 561 residents, a measure that contextualises the rarity of incidents within the community. When scaled to the area's population of 5,051, this suggests that most residents experience no direct exposure to crime during a typical month. The contrast between Warboys and the UK average—where 7.7 crimes occur per 1,000 residents—underscores the area's relative safety, though local factors such as community cohesion or policing strategies may contribute to this gap.
