Long Lawford Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Long Lawford's crime rate in March 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 46.2% below the UK average of 7.8. This national comparison underscores the area’s relative safety, though the rate reflects a 75% increase from February’s 2.4 per 1,000. The crime profile reveals a balance between violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences (10 cases, 35.7% of total) dominating, followed by anti-social behaviour (6 cases, 21.4%). The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.7 per 1,000, meaning Long Lawford’s rate is 45% lower. This pattern may be influenced by the area’s built-up nature within Rugby, where proximity to urban services could mitigate certain crime types while amplifying others. Seasonal factors in March—such as the transition to spring and extended evenings—may contribute to fluctuations, with anti-social behaviour surging by 200% compared to February. Despite these changes, the area’s crime rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, suggesting effective local measures or demographic characteristics that reduce risk. The relatively low rate of property crime (8 cases, 28.6% of total) aligns with its urban context, where vehicle theft and burglary may be less common than in more rural or isolated areas. However, the 329% increase in possession of weapons compared to the UK average raises questions about local enforcement or reporting trends, though further data would be needed to confirm this anomaly. Overall, March’s figures illustrate a combination of seasonal dynamics and the area’s unique position within Rugby.

March 2025 marked sharp increases in anti-social behaviour (+200%), possession of weapons (+100%), and vehicle crime (+100%) compared to February. These spikes, particularly in anti-social behaviour, may reflect seasonal shifts as evenings lengthen and social activity increases. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 35.7% of all crimes (10 cases), 45% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Conversely, possession of weapons was 329% above the UK average (0.1 per 1,000), a stark outlier that warrants attention. The area’s property crime rate (8 cases) was 49% below the UK average for vehicle crime, aligning with its built-up nature where vehicle theft may be less common than in more dispersed areas. Residents may find the 1-in-238 monthly exposure figure particularly useful for understanding local crime context.

Long Lawford's crime rate in March 2025 rose 75.0% compared to February, climbing from 2.4 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though significant, still places the area 46.2% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to roughly 1 reported crime per day over the 31-day period—a figure that may help residents contextualise risk in daily life. When scaled to the population of 6,660, the monthly exposure means one crime occurred for roughly every 238 residents. This monthly aggregate highlights the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK norm, though the rise from February suggests a need for continued monitoring. The area's built-up status within Rugby may influence crime dynamics, with proximity to urban amenities affecting both crime rates and reporting patterns.
