Long Lawford Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Long Lawford’s crime rate in March 2023 stood at 1.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 80.3% below the UK average of 7.6. This marked divergence from national trends underscores the area’s unique position as a built-up district within Rugby, where crime levels remain exceptionally low. The most prevalent category of crime was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 50% of all reported incidents. This figure is 71% below the UK average for the same category, suggesting that while violent crime is present, its frequency is far lower than in most other parts of the country. Vehicle crime, at 0.3 per 1,000, was 38% below the UK average, a statistic that may reflect the area’s compact layout and limited open spaces, which could deter such offences. Other theft and anti-social behaviour also fell well below national averages, though the rate of possession of weapons—1.0 per 1,000—was 186% higher than the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, indicating a specific area for concern. The seasonal context of March, with its transition to spring and the gradual lengthening of evenings, may have influenced local patterns. Longer daylight hours could have contributed to the low overall crime rate by increasing visibility and community activity, though the above-average rate for weapon possession suggests that other factors—such as localized tensions or enforcement priorities—may be at play. This combination of low crime levels and a small but notable spike in weapon-related incidents illustrates the complexity of maintaining safety in a small, densely populated area within a larger urban context.

March 2023 saw a stark contrast in crime distribution, with violent crimes accounting for 50% of total incidents—significantly higher than the UK average for this category (2.7 per 1,000). This concentration of violent crime, despite the area’s overall low rate, may reflect localized factors such as community dynamics or seasonal transitions. Vehicle crime, at 0.3 per 1,000, remained 38% below the UK average, suggesting that the built-up nature of Long Lawford may limit opportunities for such offences. Conversely, possession of weapons—1.0 per 1,000—was 186% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, a discrepancy that warrants closer scrutiny. For residents, the low overall crime rate offers reassurance, though the above-average rate for weapon possession highlights a specific area for attention. The month-on-month data, though not explicitly provided, is consistent with Long Lawford’s historical pattern of minimal fluctuations in total crime numbers, reinforcing its stability.

Long Lawford’s crime rate in March 2023 remained exceptionally low, with only 10 crimes reported across a population of 6,660 residents. This equates to one reported crime for every 666 residents over the course of the month, a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly zero crimes per day, a statistic that highlights the infrequency of criminal activity in this built-up area within Rugby. When contextualised against the UK average, the disparity is stark: Long Lawford’s rate of 1.5 per 1,000 residents is 80.3% below the national average of 7.6. This gap suggests that factors unique to Long Lawford—such as its compact size, community cohesion, or local policing strategies—may contribute to its consistently low crime levels. The population-scaled perspective further illustrates that, for someone living in Long Lawford, the likelihood of experiencing a crime is significantly lower than in most other parts of the UK. This contrast is particularly striking given the area’s proximity to larger urban centres, where crime rates are typically higher.
