Warwick Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Warwick’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 6.8% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, a trend consistent with its historical and cultural character as a market town with a strong sense of community. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 29.6% of all reported incidents—22% below the UK average. This deviation may be attributed to local policing initiatives or the town’s demographic makeup, which includes a significant proportion of older residents and families. Anti-social behaviour, however, emerged as a notable outlier, with 198 incidents reported—23% above the UK average. This could be tied to the timing of Bonfire Night and the associated increase in public gatherings, which may amplify disturbances in residential areas. Shoplifting also remained elevated, with a rate 43% above the UK average, likely reflecting the retail activity around Black Friday. The seasonal context of November—marked by shorter days, colder weather, and the transition from autumn to winter—may have influenced crime patterns, with darker evenings increasing opportunities for anti-social behaviour and theft. These factors collectively illustrate how local conditions and seasonal rhythms intersect with broader national trends, shaping Warwick’s unique crime profile.

Bicycle theft saw a 120% increase in November, rising from 10 to 22 incidents. This sharp rise may be linked to the post-Black Friday shopping surge, with more cyclists navigating busy retail areas. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 41.7%, likely due to reduced parking congestion as holiday travel eased. Anti-social behaviour remained 23% above the UK average, with 198 incidents reported, a figure that may reflect the impact of Bonfire Night events and increased social gatherings in public spaces. The category of 'Other theft' also rose by 28.8%, suggesting a possible uptick in opportunistic crimes during the month. Drug-related offences fell by 44.8%, a decline that could indicate successful local interventions or seasonal shifts in activity. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in Warwick, where specific events and seasonal rhythms influence patterns.

Warwick's crime rate in November 2025 fell by 8.8% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.5 to 6.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as darker evenings and reduced foot traffic in retail areas may contribute to lower reported crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 35 crimes per day, a figure that reflects the local context of a mixed urban-rural district with a strong historical and cultural presence. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for roughly every 147 residents, a monthly exposure rate that remains consistent with Warwick’s character as a relatively safe area with a population of 154,889. This rate is 6.8% below the UK average, suggesting broader contextual factors such as community engagement or local policing strategies may play a role. However, the daily crime count does not directly correlate to population density, as Warwick’s spread includes both densely populated towns and less populated rural areas.
