Long Lawford Crime Rate September 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Long Lawford’s crime rate in September 2024 stood at 1.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 76.6% below the UK average of 7.7. This marked decline reflects a broader trend of reduced criminal activity, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 33.3% of total crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at the same proportion. Public order offences made up 16.7%, with all categories significantly below national averages. The low overall rate aligns with the area’s character as a relatively small, built-up district within Rugby, where community cohesion and limited commercial density may contribute to lower crime levels. Seasonal factors in September—back-to-school routines and the transition to shorter evenings—likely influenced patterns, with fewer incidents of alcohol-fueled violence typically associated with summer nights. While property crimes remained minimal (2 total), the focus on violent and anti-social offences highlights the need for continued attention to community-based interventions. The data suggests that local initiatives, combined with the area’s compact nature, may play a role in sustaining this below-average rate, though further analysis would be required to confirm causal links. This month’s figures underscore a consistent trend of safety improvements, with the area maintaining a crime profile far removed from national benchmarks.

September 2024 saw a notable 63.6% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 11 to 4 incidents. This follows a 75% reduction in other theft, which fell from 4 to 1, marking one of the most significant month-on-month declines. Anti-social behaviour also decreased by 33.3%, aligning with broader reductions in violent crime. These decreases contrast with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which stood at 2.6 per 1,000—77% below the national rate in Long Lawford. The category breakdown reveals a shift away from property crimes, which accounted for only 16.7% of total incidents, compared to 33.3% for violent and anti-social offences. For residents, the sharp drop in other theft suggests that targeted measures—such as increased visibility of security cameras or community awareness campaigns—may have had a measurable impact. The low rate of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) further reinforces the area’s position as a safer locale, with all property-related crimes remaining well below the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. These trends, while promising, warrant ongoing monitoring to ensure sustained progress.

The crime rate in Long Lawford fell by 53.8% from 3.9 per 1,000 in August to 1.8 per 1,000 in September 2024, reflecting a sustained downward trajectory. Over the course of the month, this translated to roughly 0 crimes per day, a figure that underscores the area’s exceptionally low level of criminal activity. When scaled to the population of 6,660 residents, the monthly exposure was 1 crime for every 555 residents—a stark contrast to the average UK resident’s experience. This monthly aggregate highlights the rarity of crime in Long Lawford, where the built-up nature of the area may limit opportunities for certain offences, such as vehicle-related crimes or large-scale theft. The comparison to the previous month also reveals a consistent pattern of decline, with no significant spikes in any category. While the daily crime rate is effectively zero, the monthly exposure figure provides a more nuanced perspective, illustrating that even infrequent incidents can have a measurable impact on local residents. These statistics, when contextualised against the area’s size and demographics, suggest a combination of environmental factors and community dynamics that contribute to its below-average crime profile.
