Long Lawford Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Long Lawford’s crime rate in May 2025 stood at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 70.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark divergence highlights the area’s unique safety profile, shaped by its built-up character within Rugby. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 56.3% of all incidents — a figure that, while significant, remains 51% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed with 31.3% of total crimes, and vehicle crime contributed 6.3%, both significantly lower than national benchmarks. The seasonal context of May — with longer evenings and bank holidays — likely influenced patterns, as increased outdoor activity and socialising may have impacted reported incidents. However, the overall low crime rate suggests effective local measures or a demographic profile that mitigates risk. The built-up nature of Long Lawford, coupled with its integration into the larger Rugby area, may contribute to its lower crime rates compared to more isolated or densely populated regions. This month’s data reinforces the need for continued monitoring of anti-social behaviour trends, which saw a sharp rise, while the sustained decline in drugs-related crime indicates potential progress in addressing specific challenges.

The most dramatic month-on-month change in May 2025 was a 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, suggests a potential shift in community dynamics or environmental factors. Conversely, drugs-related crime fell by 75%, declining from 4 to 1 incident, a drop that may reflect targeted interventions or seasonal influences. The area’s violent crime rate of 1.4 per 1,000 — 51% below the UK average — underscores a persistent trend in lower levels of serious crime. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 56.3% of all crimes, a share that aligns with the area’s built-up nature and potential for concentrated social interactions. These figures offer a snapshot of local priorities for community safety initiatives.

Long Lawford’s crime rate in May 2025 fell by 48.4% compared to April, reflecting a marked improvement in safety. The monthly exposure figure shows that, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 416 residents — a stark contrast to the previous month’s rate. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, a low frequency consistent with the built-up area’s overall crime profile. When scaled to the population of 6,660, this translates to a level of safety significantly outperforming the UK average. The reduction in crime appears to align with seasonal patterns, as May’s longer evenings and bank holidays may have shifted social activity patterns, reducing opportunities for certain types of crime. This context underscores the importance of considering local rhythms when interpreting crime statistics, as the area’s built-up nature likely interacts with seasonal changes in unique ways.
