Studley Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Studley's November 2024 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents placed it 43.4% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. The area's crime mix showed a clear focus on violent and property-related offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 34.6% of all crimes reported (9 incidents), followed by vehicle crime (19.2%, 5 incidents). This pattern aligns with Studley's character as a relatively low-density built-up area within Stratford-on-Avon, where retail and community hubs may contribute to targeted property crimes. Seasonal factors in November—such as the lead-up to Christmas shopping, the timing of Bonfire Night (5 November), and the transition to shorter evenings—likely influenced crime dynamics. For example, the spike in public order offences during Bonfire Night suggests a temporary increase in community gatherings and associated disturbances. Meanwhile, the lower-than-average rates for violent crime (1.5 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour (0.3 per 1,000) indicate a generally stable social environment, though the presence of vehicle crime above the UK average (0.8 vs 0.4 per 1,000) hints at potential vulnerabilities in local traffic management or parking security. The area's historical data suggests that seasonal transitions often see fluctuations in crime types, with property crimes remaining a persistent concern despite overall low rates.

November 2024 saw significant month-on-month shifts in Studley's crime profile. Public order offences doubled from zero to two incidents, likely linked to Bonfire Night celebrations on 5 November, which often see increased community gatherings and associated disruptions. Conversely, burglary and other theft decreased by 50% each, with burglary falling from four to two incidents and other theft dropping from seven to three. This decline may reflect heightened community vigilance during the festive season or seasonal adjustments in criminal activity patterns. Vehicle crime remained 82% above the UK average (0.8 vs 0.4 per 1,000), suggesting local factors such as increased traffic during Black Friday shopping or vulnerabilities in car parking infrastructure. The drop in anti-social behaviour (from four to two incidents, -50%) and criminal damage (from two to three incidents, +50%) highlights the unpredictable nature of crime in the area, with some categories showing marked volatility. For residents, the 43.4% gap between Studley's rate and the UK average underscores the area's relative safety, though the vehicle crime discrepancy indicates targeted opportunities for local intervention.

Studley's November 2024 crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents marked a 27.8% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.9 per 1,000, illustrating a clear downward trend in local crime levels. Over the course of the month, this translated to approximately one reported crime for every 233 residents, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents within the area's population of 6,056. Daily crime statistics showed an average of one crime per day, a manageable frequency that aligns with Studley's status as a relatively safe built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Studley's position as a low-crime location is reinforced by the 43.4% gap in overall rates. However, the disparity in vehicle crime—82% above the UK average—suggests a specific local challenge that may require targeted strategies, such as improved parking security or awareness campaigns. The contrast between Studley's consistent low rates and the UK's higher average highlights the area's unique characteristics, including its smaller population, lower density, and potential community-driven crime prevention efforts. These figures provide residents with a clear benchmark to understand their local safety context relative to national trends, while also identifying areas for focused improvement.
