Long Lawford Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 6,660 residents, Long Lawford recorded 14 crimes in December 2025, translating to a crime rate of 2.1 per 1,000 people—70% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This figure, though low, reflects a combination of seasonal and local factors. The breakdown of crimes highlights that violence and sexual offences dominated the month, accounting for 35.7% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (21.4%) and vehicle crime (14.3%). These patterns are consistent with the area’s character as a built-up part of Rugby, where commercial activity and residential density may influence crime types. The lower rate of property crimes compared to violent crimes could be attributed to seasonal dynamics, such as the Christmas shopping peak and dark evenings, which may drive interpersonal conflicts or deter outdoor crimes. However, the area’s compact nature and limited industrial presence likely contribute to its overall safety. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, meaning Long Lawford’s rate of 0.8 per 1,000 is 69% below, a gap that underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community cohesion. This data, when contextualised with the area’s geography and demographics, suggests a crime profile shaped by both environmental and seasonal influences.

December 2025 marked notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime, possession of weapons, and shoplifting all surging by 100% compared to November. This spike in vehicle crime may reflect increased car usage during the festive season or heightened opportunities in the built-up area’s limited parking zones. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 25%, potentially linked to seasonal factors such as reduced nightlife activity during the Christmas period. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences—accounting for 35.7% of all incidents—were 69% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s relative safety, though the rise in weapon possession raises questions about local enforcement or community dynamics. For residents, the absence of property crimes (only 4 recorded) compared to 5 violent crimes suggests a shift in criminal focus, influenced by the season’s social dynamics.

December 2025 saw a 6.7% decline in Long Lawford’s crime rate, falling from 2.3 to 2.1 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with a broader trend observed in the built-up area within Rugby, where crime rates tend to remain consistently lower than the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day over the month, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this community. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure of 1 reported crime for every 476 residents illustrates a stark contrast to the UK’s average monthly exposure, which is not provided here but would likely be significantly higher. This low rate, combined with the area’s compact built-up nature and limited industrial activity, suggests that the local environment—characterised by residential stability and minimal commercial density—may contribute to the subdued crime profile. For residents, these figures translate to a tangible sense of security, with the likelihood of encountering crime being exceptionally low compared to broader national trends.
