Cawston (Rugby) Crime Rate October 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,276, 37 crimes were recorded in Cawston (Rugby) during October 2023—a rate of 5.9 per 1,000 residents. This figure is 26.2% below the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently safer environment compared to national trends. The breakdown shows violence and sexual offences (19 incidents, 51.4% of total) as the most prevalent category, followed by vehicle crime (5 incidents, 13.5%) and public order offences (3 incidents, 8.1%). These patterns align with seasonal rhythms: October’s darker evenings and Halloween activities may have contributed to the spike in violent crimes. Vehicle crime rates, while 54% above the UK average, could be influenced by local traffic patterns or temporary changes in parking habits. The area’s relatively low burglary and anti-social behaviour rates (both 12–77% below UK averages) suggest strong community cohesion or effective local deterrents. This data underscores the importance of contextual factors in shaping crime profiles, even within a built-up area of a larger town.

Violence and sexual offences surged by 171.4% month-on-month, rising from 7 to 19 incidents. This jump, combined with a 54% increase in vehicle crime (2 to 5 incidents), suggests shifting dynamics in local crime patterns. Violence rates in Cawston (3.0 per 1,000) are 11% above the UK average for this category, despite the overall rate being 26.2% lower nationally. Conversely, public order offences (0.5 per 1,000) are 15% below the UK average, and anti-social behaviour is 77% below, indicating areas where local initiatives may be effective. The 100% increase in burglary cases (1 to 2 incidents) could reflect seasonal vulnerabilities, such as increased home occupancy during weekends or holidays. Residents may find the 5.9 per 1,000 rate particularly relevant, as it places Cawston well below the UK norm, though the spike in violent crime warrants attention.

October’s crime rate (5.9 per 1,000) marked an 117.7% increase compared to September’s rate of 2.7 per 1,000, highlighting a significant upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day in October, a figure that, while low, reflects the sharp rise in violent incidents. Monthly exposure shows that over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 170 residents—a rate that, while modest, contrasts with the UK average of 8.0 per 1,000. This 1-in-170 statistic underscores the relative safety of the area, even as the surge in violent crime raises questions about localized factors. With a population of 6,276, the 37 total crimes represent a manageable burden for local services, though the doubling of violent offences compared to the previous month suggests a need for targeted interventions. The comparison to the UK average reinforces that Cawston remains a comparatively low-risk area, though the recent spikes indicate areas for further analysis.
