Cawston (Rugby) Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences emerged as the dominant category in Cawston (Rugby) in April 2025, accounting for 52.6% of the 19 total crimes recorded. This category, which reported 10 incidents at a rate of 1.6 per 1,000 residents, remains 39% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The overall crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with the local rate 61% below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, contributed 26.3% of crimes, with 5 incidents reported at a rate of 0.8 per 1,000. This is 40% below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000, reflecting a pattern of lower levels of disruptive behaviour compared to other areas. The low rate of property crimes, which accounted for just 21% of total incidents, contrasts with national trends where property crimes typically dominate. April's spring weather and Easter period likely influenced activity patterns, with increased outdoor engagement potentially contributing to the violence figures. The area's built-up character within Rugby, a commuter town with a mix of residential and commercial spaces, may explain the relatively low levels of vehicle crime and burglary compared to more densely populated urban centres. This data suggests a community where violent incidents, while present, remain significantly below national benchmarks, though the presence of anti-social behaviour indicates areas for targeted intervention.

April 2025 saw notable shifts in the crime mix, with anti-social behaviour rising by 66.7% compared to March, driven by an increase from three to five incidents. This category, which contributes 26.3% of all crimes, remains 40% below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. Other theft and vehicle crime both doubled from zero to one and zero to two incidents respectively, though these remain well below UK averages. The most significant drop was in criminal damage and arson, which fell by two-thirds from three to one incident. Violence and sexual offences, the dominant category at 52.6% of all crimes, are 39% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with the national trend highlights Cawston's distinct crime profile, where property crimes account for only 21% of total incidents. Residents may find the 61% gap to the UK average particularly reassuring, though the rise in anti-social behaviour suggests localised pressures that warrant attention.

Cawston (Rugby)'s crime rate in April 2025 fell to 3.0 per 1,000 residents, marking a 9.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.4 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its overall rate 61% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day in April, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the Easter holiday period. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 330 residents, a statistic that highlights the low monthly exposure to crime compared to larger urban centres. This rate is particularly notable given the area's population size, as the 6276 residents collectively accounted for just 19 crimes. The drop in the crime rate from March may reflect seasonal factors, such as the quieter post-holiday environment or the influence of spring weather on outdoor activity patterns.
