Long Lawford Crime Rate March 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Long Lawford’s crime rate for March 2024 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 45.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s relative safety compared to national trends, though the data reveals a complex picture within the local context. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 53.6% of all reported crimes, with 15 incidents—far below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000 (2.3 per 1,000 in Long Lawford). This dominance of violent crime may reflect the built-up nature of the area, where higher population density and proximity to Rugby’s urban core could contribute to such incidents. Property crimes, though fewer in number (6 incidents), were proportionally smaller than the UK average, with criminal damage and arson (0.6 per 1,000) slightly exceeding the national figure. The seasonal context of March—transitioning to spring, with longer evenings—may have influenced patterns, though the overall low crime rate suggests effective local policing or community engagement. Public order offences (0.5 per 1,000) were 7% below the UK average, indicating fewer disturbances in public spaces. These findings illustrate an area that, while not immune to crime, maintains a significantly lower rate than the national average, with targeted efforts likely playing a role in sustaining this disparity.

March 2024 saw a 100% increase in criminal damage and arson, with four incidents reported—up from zero in February. This category also exceeded the UK average by 3%, marking an anomaly in an otherwise low-crime area. Other crime and robbery both rose from zero to two and one incidents respectively, though these categories were 100% and 100% above the UK average. Conversely, anti-social behaviour and public order offences fell by 66.7%, reflecting a sharp decline in incidents that may relate to seasonal changes or targeted interventions. The dominance of violent crimes—accounting for 53.6% of all reported crimes—contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences are 14% lower. This imbalance suggests that local factors, such as community tensions or specific hotspots, may be influencing crime patterns more than national trends.

Long Lawford’s crime rate in March 2024 rose slightly to 4.2 per 1,000 residents, a 3.7% increase from the previous month’s 4.1 per 1,000. This places the area firmly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, with a gap of 45.5%—a figure that underscores the area’s relative safety. On a daily basis, the 28 reported crimes over 31 days equate to roughly one crime per day, a low frequency that aligns with the built-up nature of Long Lawford within the larger town of Rugby. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 238 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly. While the slight increase from February may reflect seasonal factors such as longer evenings or transitions in local activity, the overall trend remains significantly below national levels, indicating that the area’s policing or community dynamics may be contributing to this sustained low crime profile.
