Studley Crime Rate August 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For a resident of Studley, the crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents in August 2024 translates to a 1-in-189 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime over the course of the month. This figure, while non-trivial, is 35.4% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, reflecting the area’s relatively low-risk profile. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 50% of all reported incidents. This category’s rate of 2.6 per 1,000 is 3% below the UK average, a small but consistent gap that may be explained by Studley’s status as a smaller, less densely populated built-up area within Stratford-on-Avon. Anti-social behaviour followed, making up 12.5% of incidents.7 per 1,000 is 51% below the UK average, highlighting the area’s generally lower levels of disorder. The seasonal context of August—peak holiday month—may have influenced crime patterns, as empty homes during school holidays could have increased burglary risk. However, burglaries fell to one incident in August, down from two in July, suggesting that local measures or seasonal closures may have mitigated this risk. The overall crime rate remains well below the UK average, a trend that aligns with Studley’s character as a quieter, more residential area compared to larger urban centres. This per-capita perspective underscores that, while crime is not absent, its impact on daily life is comparatively limited, offering reassurance to residents and visitors alike.

August 2024 saw a 100% increase in 'other crime' incidents, rising from zero to one, a shift that may reflect new categories of activity or underreported issues. Meanwhile, public order offences fell by two-thirds, from three to one, potentially linked to reduced summer events or heightened community vigilance. Vehicle crime also dropped by 50%, from four to two, a decline consistent with seasonal patterns and the area’s lower traffic density compared to urban centres. Studley’s rate for violence and sexual offences (2.6 per 1,000) is 3% below the UK average, a slight edge that may be attributed to the area’s smaller, more tightly knit community. Conversely, 'other crime' is now 25% above the UK average for that category, a figure that deserves closer attention in future analyses. These shifts highlight the importance of contextual factors, such as local demographics and seasonal activity, in shaping crime trends.

Studley’s August 2024 crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents marks a 20.1% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.6, reflecting a downward trend in reported incidents. This reduction translates to approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that, while non-zero, underscores the area’s relative safety compared to the UK average. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 189 residents, a monthly aggregate that provides context for local risk perception. When scaled to the population of 6,056, this means fewer than 3% of residents faced a direct encounter with crime in August. This figure is lower than the UK’s average monthly exposure, which would be higher given the national rate of 8.2 per 1,000. The decrease aligns with seasonal patterns, as August typically sees increased police presence in tourist areas and fewer opportunities for burglary due to seasonal closures. However, the daily crime count remains a reminder that even low rates can have tangible impacts on community safety.
