Cawston (Rugby) Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,276 residents, 23 crimes were recorded in Cawston (Rugby) during October 2025, translating to a crime rate of 3.7 per 1,000 people. This figure is 51.9% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflecting a safer environment compared to national trends. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (9 cases, 39.1% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (4 cases, 17.4%) and burglary (3 cases, 13.0%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up district within a larger town, where community cohesion and local policing may contribute to lower rates. Seasonal factors such as darker evenings and Halloween could have influenced the increase in violent incidents. The low overall rate suggests effective crime prevention strategies, though the slight rise in violent crime compared to previous months warrants cautious monitoring. The breakdown also highlights that property crimes, while present, constitute a smaller share of the total, contrasting with urban centres where theft and burglary often dominate. This data underscores the importance of maintaining community-focused initiatives and leveraging local knowledge to address emerging trends.

October 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns compared to September, with burglary, other theft, and other crime each increasing by 100% (from 0 to 3, 0 to 1, and 0 to 1 respectively). This surge in less common categories suggests either a change in criminal activity or improved reporting mechanisms. Conversely, public order offences dropped by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), and anti-social behaviour fell by 42.9% (from 7 to 4), possibly reflecting seasonal transitions or local interventions. Violence and sexual offences, though still the most frequent category, remained 47% below the UK average (1.4 vs 2.7 per 1,000), indicating a consistent trend of lower violent crime in this area. The sharp rise in possession of weapons (0.3 per 1,000, 329% above the UK average) raises specific concerns, though the small absolute numbers (2 cases) suggest this may be an isolated spike rather than a broader issue. Residents might find the 100% increase in other theft and other crime particularly relevant, as these categories often encompass unclassified incidents that could impact daily life.

The crime rate in October 2025 (3.7 per 1,000) marked a 4.3% increase from September’s 3.5 per 1,000, though it remains significantly below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a figure that, while low, highlights the potential for rapid changes in local dynamics. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 273 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low compared to national benchmarks. With a population of 6,276, the 23 recorded crimes equate to a manageable burden for local authorities, though the 100% increase in certain categories underscores the need for vigilance. The contrast between Cawston (Rugby) and the UK average is stark: while the area’s violent crime rate is 47% below the national figure, its burglary rate is 67% above the UK average. This divergence likely reflects the built-up nature of the area, where property crime may be more concentrated than in rural regions. The low overall rate, combined with the area’s compact size, suggests that community engagement and targeted policing could further reduce crime without significant resource allocation.
