Warwick Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warwick's overall crime rate in April 2025 stood at 6.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 19.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a town with a historically low crime profile, consistent with its character as a mix of historic and modern environments. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (283 cases, 29.6% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (213 cases, 22.3%). These rates align with seasonal patterns in April, when increased outdoor activity and Easter-related movements may influence crime dynamics. The town's violent crime rate (1.8 per 1,000) was 31% below the UK average, a gap that could stem from community-focused policing, lower population density, or the absence of high-risk areas typical of larger cities. Conversely, vehicle crime (74 cases, 0.5 per 1,000) exceeded the UK average by 32%, a trend that may correlate with Warwick's road networks or commuter traffic. The seasonal context of April—marked by spring weather and Easter holidays—likely contributed to fluctuations, though can be established from this data alone. The relatively low levels of theft from the person (four cases, 0.0 per 1,000) and robbery (three cases) further reinforce the town's safety profile, though these categories remain areas for continued monitoring.

April 2025 saw a sharp 66.7% decrease in robbery incidents, from nine to three, marking the most dramatic month-on-month change. This drop contrasts with a 34.6% rise in other theft and a 32.1% increase in vehicle crime, suggesting shifting patterns in criminal activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category (283 cases, 29.6% of total), but their rate (1.8 per 1,000) was 31% below the UK average—a disparity that may reflect Warwick's smaller population or specific local deterrents. Anti-social behaviour (213 cases) and vehicle crime (74 cases) both exceeded UK averages, with vehicle crime 32% above the national rate. These figures could indicate challenges in areas with higher vehicle density or transient populations. A resident might find the 66.7% drop in robbery particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a potential shift in criminal focus or improved community safety measures.

Warwick's crime rate in April 2025 (6.2 per 1,000 residents) marks a 6.1% decrease from the previous month's rate of 6.6 per 1,000. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of spring, when outdoor activity increases but violent crime often stabilises. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 162 residents—a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local residents. Daily crime counts averaged 32 incidents per day, a metric that highlights the pace of activity in a town with a mix of historic and modern environments. The rate remains 19.5% below the UK average, a consistent gap that reflects Warwick's relatively low crime profile compared to other areas. This comparison suggests that local initiatives, community engagement, or geographic factors may contribute to sustained lower rates, though can be confirmed from this data alone.
