Cawston (Rugby) Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2023, Cawston (Rugby) recorded 19 crimes across a population of 6,276, translating to a crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents. This figure was 60% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to the national context. The dominant category of reported crime was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 68.4% of all incidents—13 cases in total. This stark prevalence of violent crime contrasts with the UK average for this category, where the rate was 2.6 per 1,000 residents. The seasonal context of April, with its Easter period and spring weather, likely influenced patterns of outdoor activity and social interactions, though the exact relationship between these factors and the crime rate remains speculative. Property-related offences, including vehicle crime, shoplifting, and anti-social behaviour, made up the remaining 31.6% of incidents, with each of these categories reporting rates significantly below the UK average. For instance, vehicle crime in Cawston (0.3 per 1,000) was 33% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000. The built-up area's proximity to Rugby's town centre may contribute to this dynamic, as urban environments with higher foot traffic and commercial activity often see distinct crime patterns. However, the low overall rate suggests that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may play a role in mitigating violent crime, even during periods of increased public activity.

April 2023 witnessed significant fluctuations in specific crime categories. Vehicle crime and shoplifting each saw a 100% increase compared to March, rising from zero to two incidents. This surge, though modest in absolute terms, may partly explain the shift in the crime mix, as property-related offences accounted for 21% of total crimes—lower than the 68.4% attributed to violent crimes. The reduction in violent crimes by 7.1% (from 14 to 13) contrasts with the growth in property offences, illustrating a nuanced shift in the area's crime profile. Cawston's violent crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents was 19% below the UK average for this category, a gap that suggests local factors—such as the built-up area's proximity to Rugby's town centre—may contribute to the lower incidence of severe offences. A resident would find the 1-in-330 monthly exposure rate particularly informative, as it provides a tangible sense of risk relative to the population.

Cawston (Rugby)'s crime rate in April 2023 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 29.5% reduction from the previous month's rate of 4.3. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns observed in similar built-up areas, where crime rates often dip during spring as outdoor activity shifts to more structured routines. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for residents. When scaled to the population of 6,276, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 330 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in Cawston compared to larger urban centres, though it remains important to note that this is a localised statistic and cannot be directly compared to national averages. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the manageable nature of crime in this built-up area, where the density of incidents is significantly lower than the UK average.
