Studley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For an area with a population of 6,056, Studley's 33 reported crimes in September 2025 translate to one crime for every 184 residents. This rate of 5.5 crimes per 1,000 people places Studley 25.7% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 36.4% of all reported incidents—22% below the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed at 18.2% of the total, also 15% below the national average. These figures align with seasonal patterns typical of September, when back-to-school routines and university freshers' week may increase social interactions in public spaces. The relatively low overall crime rate may partly reflect Studley's character as a built-up area within Stratford-on-Avon, where historical and cultural attractions draw visitors but also benefit from community-focused policing initiatives. The rate of violent crime is lower than the UK average, which could indicate effective local strategies in managing public safety during transition periods between summer and autumn. However, the higher-than-average rates for criminal damage and arson (51% above UK levels) suggest a need for targeted interventions in property-related offences.

September 2025 saw significant shifts in crime trends compared to August. Robbery and 'other crime' categories both increased by 100% from zero to one incident each, while public order offences rose by 50% to three incidents. These increases contrast with notable decreases in anti-social behaviour (-57.1%), shoplifting (-50%), and other theft (-33.3%). The violent crime category remained the most common, but its rate of 2.0 per 1,000 was 22% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Anti-social behaviour, though down from 14 to 6 incidents, still contributed 18.2% of total crimes, 15% below the UK average. The spike in criminal damage and arson (51% above UK rates) may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased outdoor activities or property maintenance during the transition to autumn. Residents might find the 100% increase in robbery incidents particularly noteworthy, as this category is typically rare in Studley. The UK average for robbery is 0.1 per 1,000, compared to Studley's 0.2 per 1,000 in September 2025. This anomaly highlights the need for continued vigilance in public spaces during the university term start.

Studley's crime rate in September 2025 (5.5 per 1,000) marks a 28.3% decrease from August's 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a substantial year-on-year improvement. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of one reported crime per day over the 30-day period, which is a local metric not directly comparable to national averages. When scaled to the population, this equates to one crime for every 184 residents over the course of the month—a figure that contextualises the impact of crime on the local community. The monthly exposure metric provides a useful perspective for residents: if all 6,056 residents were to experience the same rate of crime, each would face approximately 0.0055 crimes on average. This low figure contrasts with the UK average, where residents face 0.0074 crimes per person monthly. The decline from August may be linked to the end of summer holidays and the start of structured routines, such as the return of students to Stratford-on-Avon's educational institutions. However, the higher-than-average rates for criminal damage and arson (51% above UK levels) suggest that property-related risks remain a concern, even as overall crime rates fall. This comparison underscores the importance of targeted local initiatives to address specific crime types while maintaining the broader downward trend.
