Warwick Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warwick's overall crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This performance highlights a marked divergence from national trends, particularly in the category of violence and sexual offences, which occurred at a rate of 2.0 per 1,000 — 22% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. As a historic market town with a university presence, Warwick's crime profile reflects a mix of traditional and modern influences, with anti-social behaviour and shoplifting emerging as persistent challenges. The data shows that violence and sexual offences accounted for 29.6% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.8%) and shoplifting (12.7%). These figures align with the area's character as a medium-sized town where retail and academic institutions contribute to distinct crime patterns. Seasonal factors in November — including the transition to darker evenings, Bonfire Night events, and Black Friday shopping — may have influenced certain trends. For instance, the drop in vehicle crime (down 41.7%) could be linked to reduced foot traffic during peak shopping periods, while the sharp rise in bicycle theft (up 120%) remains unexplained by the available information. Warwick's violent crime rate, however, consistently lags behind the UK average, a trend that may be attributable to the town's relatively low population density and the presence of community-focused policing initiatives. The breakdown of crimes also reveals that shoplifting (0.9 per 1,000) and anti-social behaviour (1.3 per 1,000) both exceed UK averages by significant margins, indicating areas where targeted interventions might be warranted. These findings underscore the combination of local demographics, economic factors, and seasonal dynamics in shaping Warwick's crime profile.

November 2025 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with bicycle theft surging by 120% (10 to 22 incidents) — the most dramatic increase of any category. This jump, though unexplained by the data, may be linked to seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night or increased outdoor activity during darker evenings. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour remained 23% above the UK average (1.1 vs 1.3 per 1,000), a persistent issue that appears unaffected by the month's overall decline in crime. Vehicle crime fell sharply by 41.7% (115 to 67), potentially influenced by reduced Black Friday shopping traffic or improved vehicle security measures. The category of 'other theft' also rose by 28.8% (59 to 76), suggesting a broader shift in property crime patterns. Warwick's violent crime rate (2.0 per 1,000) was 22% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), a consistent trend that may reflect the town's character as a historic market town with lower population density compared to major urban centres.

Warwick's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 8.8% compared to the previous month, falling from 7.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced vehicle crime, which fell by 41.7% (115 to 67 incidents), likely reflecting changes in local traffic patterns or seasonal retail activity. On a daily basis, Warwick recorded an average of 35 crimes per day in November, a figure that contextualises the pace of criminal activity within the district. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 147 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests a relatively low level of personal risk compared to larger urban areas. This statistic, however, does not account for variations in population density or local demographics, which may influence individual experiences of crime. The reduction in drug-related offences by 44.8% (29 to 16) further highlights shifts in crime dynamics, possibly linked to seasonal factors or changes in local policing priorities.
