Long Lawford Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 presented a mixed picture for Long Lawford's crime profile, with some troubling trends emerging despite the area's overall status as one of the safest in the UK. The total crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000 residents, 62.3% below the UK average of 7.7, masked significant increases in violent crime and weapon possession. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category, rose by 33.3% to 8 incidents, a figure that, while still 55% below the UK average, suggests a worrying upward trend. Anti-social behaviour. to 5 cases, remained 37% below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. The seasonal context of October—shorter days and the approach of Halloween—likely contributed to the spike in violent crime, as darker evenings may have increased opportunities for such incidents. However, the area's low population density and proximity to Rugby's infrastructure may have acted as mitigating factors, reducing the overall scale of crime. The rise in 'other theft' cases, which increased by 200% to 3 incidents, highlights a potential vulnerability in local security measures, particularly in areas with high transient populations. These developments underscore the need for continued vigilance, especially in community spaces that see increased activity during the autumn months.

Violent crimes surged by 33.3% in October 2025, rising from 6 to 8 incidents. This increase, coupled with a 200% rise in 'other theft' and a 100% jump in 'possession of weapons' cases, signals a concerning shift in the crime profile. While anti-social behaviour decreased by 28.6% (from 7 to 5), the category of 'violence and sexual offences' remains 55% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, highlighting a persistent gap in local crime trends. The spike in weapon-related incidents, now at 0.3 per 1,000 (329% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000), may partly explain the rise in violent crime. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high foot traffic, where the combination of seasonal darkness and Halloween activities could create conditions conducive to such offences. The 'other theft' category, now at 0.5 per 1,000, is 4% below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, suggesting that while local theft rates are broadly in line with national benchmarks, the specific rise in this category merits closer monitoring.

Long Lawford's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a 5.0% decrease from the previous month's 3.0 per 1,000. This decline positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its overall rate 62.3% below the national average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day in October, a figure that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents despite the seasonal context of darker evenings and Halloween. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 351 residents, a statistic that provides a clear sense of the scale of exposure for local residents. When viewed against the population of 6,660, this translates to a manageable level of risk, though the recent rise in violent crimes warrants attention. The area's small population size further amplifies the significance of individual incidents, making even minor fluctuations in crime type distribution more impactful for residents.
