Cawston (Rugby) Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Cawston (Rugby), a built-up area within the town of Rugby, reported a crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents in January 2025, placing it 39.4% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast to national figures highlights the area’s relatively secure environment, though the nature of crime here diverges from typical patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 51.9% of all reported crimes, with 14 incidents recorded, a rate of 2.2 per 1,000. This category is 12% below the UK average, consistent with the area’s low levels of public disorder and potentially reflecting its residential character with limited nightlife. Drugs-related crimes (3 incidents, 0.5 per 1,000) and possession of weapons (3 incidents, 0.5 per 1,000) both exceed UK averages by 92% and 733% respectively, suggesting isolated but notable spikes in specific categories. These figures may be influenced by local factors such as proximity to transport routes or transient populations. Seasonal context also plays a role: January’s post-holiday period and reduced retail activity likely contributed to lower overall crime compared to months with higher footfall. The area’s crime profile thus presents a mix of low overall rates and concentrated risks in specific categories, requiring targeted attention.

January 2025 saw sharp increases in possession of weapons (+200.0%), criminal damage and arson (+100.0%), and public order offences (+100.0%) compared to December 2024. These jumps, particularly in weapons-related crimes, suggest a possible shift in local dynamics. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell by 83.3% (from 6 to 1 incidents), and vehicle crime dropped by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), potentially reflecting seasonal trends such as reduced outdoor activity and fewer vehicles on the road during colder months. The area’s violent crime rate (2.2 per 1,000) remains 12% below the UK average, while drugs-related crimes (0.5 per 1,000) are 92% above the national figure, illustrating a divergence in local challenges. Residents may find the 39.4% UK comparison particularly noteworthy, as it underscores the area’s relative safety despite isolated spikes in certain categories. The balance between property and violent crime also shifted, with violent offences making up 51.9% of all reported crimes, a higher proportion than the UK average where property crime typically dominates.

Cawston (Rugby)’s crime rate in January 2025 was 4.3 per 1,000, a 3.6% decrease from December 2024’s rate of 4.5 per 1,000. This slight decline, though modest, aligns with January’s typical seasonal patterns, including reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours, which may limit opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly 1 crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while low, could be of interest to residents concerned about local safety. Monthly exposure to crime was 1 in 232 residents, a statistic that contextualises the rarity of incidents in this built-up area. With a population of 6,276, the area’s low crime rate is particularly striking when compared to the UK average, where 7.1 crimes occur per 1,000 residents. This disparity may reflect Cawston’s integration within Rugby’s broader infrastructure, which likely includes policing resources and community initiatives that contribute to its lower rates. However, the area’s higher-than-average rates for drugs-related crimes and weapons possession indicate that while overall safety is strong, specific challenges persist that may require targeted interventions.
