Long Lawford Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Long Lawford's crime profile in June 2024, accounting for 51.9% of all reported incidents—a rate of 2.1 per 1,000 residents, 24% below the UK average. This category’s prominence contrasts sharply with the relatively low levels of property crime, which contributed only 3 out of 27 total crimes. The overall crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents places Long Lawford 50% below the UK average of 8.2, a gap that reflects a combination of local factors and broader demographic trends. As a built-up area within Rugby, Long Lawford’s crime picture is shaped by its proximity to urban amenities and the characteristics of its resident population. The seasonal context of June—a time of longer daylight hours and the start of summer—may have influenced patterns, though the persistent focus on violent offences suggests that underlying social dynamics, such as community cohesion or policing strategies, play a significant role. While property crimes remain rare, the sharp rise in 'other crime' and vehicle crime in June highlights the need for ongoing monitoring of emerging trends. The area’s low crime rate, particularly in comparison to the UK average, may also be linked to effective local governance or community engagement efforts that have mitigated risks typically associated with urban environments. This data underscores that while Long Lawford is relatively safe, targeted attention to the most frequent crime types—violence and sexual offences—remains critical.

June saw a dramatic 300% increase in 'other crime' incidents, rising from one to four cases, and a 100% jump in vehicle crime, which moved from zero to one. These spikes contrast with declines in other categories: possession of weapons fell by 50%, and other theft cases dropped by 50% from four to two. The dominance of violent crimes—14 out of 27 total incidents—positions them as the most pressing concern, with a rate of 2.1 per 1,000, 24% below the UK average for this category. 'other crime' in Long Lawford is 275% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000, highlighting a unique local dynamic that may reflect unclassified or emerging crime types. While the overall rate remains low, the sharp rise in 'other crime' suggests a need for further investigation into what constitutes these incidents and how they might be addressed. This contrast with the UK average for anti-social behaviour—64% below—indicates that Long Lawford’s community may be more proactive in managing disruptive conduct.

Long Lawford's crime rate in June 2024 fell by 29.1% compared to the previous month, reflecting a continued downward trend in reported incidents. At 4.1 crimes per 1,000 residents, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that, while low, underscores the need for sustained vigilance. When scaled to the local population of 6,660, this translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 247 residents over the course of June. This monthly exposure rate is a useful benchmark for residents, illustrating that the likelihood of encountering crime is relatively low compared to national standards. The drop from 5.7 per 1,000 in May suggests that local initiatives or seasonal factors—such as the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have contributed to the reduction. However, the persistence of certain crime types, like violent offences, indicates that targeted efforts remain necessary.
