Kenilworth Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Kenilworth’s crime profile in June 2023 continued to show a marked improvement compared to the UK average, with a crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents—60% below the national figure of 8.5. The month’s data highlights a shift in crime dynamics, with violence and sexual offences remaining the most common category (33.3% of total crimes) but at a rate significantly lower than the UK average. This trend aligns with the area’s character as a relatively small, built-up district within Warwick, where local initiatives and community engagement may contribute to reduced violent crime. Anti-social behaviour, accounting for 14.7% of crimes, also showed a sharp decline compared to the UK average, potentially reflecting seasonal factors or localized efforts to address nuisance crimes. The start of summer, with longer days and the onset of tourist activity, may have influenced crime patterns. Property crimes, including other theft and criminal damage, accounted for 40% of all incidents, but their rates were also below the UK average. These figures suggest a combination of geographic and demographic factors—such as a stable, low-density population and limited commercial activity—that may help explain Kenilworth’s consistently low crime levels. The data also underscores the importance of contextual factors, as the area’s proximity to Warwick and its role as a commuter hub could influence both crime opportunities and community policing strategies.

June 2023 saw a stark contrast in crime trends, with bicycle theft doubling from zero to one incident—a 100% increase—while burglary dropped by 60% as five incidents were reported in May and only two in June. This shift may reflect seasonal patterns, with increased cycling activity during summer months potentially contributing to the rise in bicycle theft. Meanwhile, the 60% decrease in burglary could be linked to heightened security measures or reduced opportunities during warmer weather. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 33.3% of all crimes.1 per 1,000 was 62% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour also showed a significant decline, with its rate 66% lower than the national average. These figures illustrate how Kenilworth’s crime profile diverges from the UK average in both absolute and relative terms, suggesting a combination of local factors and broader trends influencing crime patterns.

Kenilworth’s June 2023 crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents marks a 16.7% drop from the previous month’s 4.1, reflecting a continued trend toward lower crime levels. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 2 crimes per day over the month, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 296 residents over the course of June. This monthly exposure rate highlights the relatively low frequency of crime compared to the UK average, though it is not directly comparable to national figures. The population context further underscores this safety: with 22,173 residents, the area’s crime statistics indicate that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. The reduction in burglary and vehicle crime, coupled with a sharp rise in bicycle theft, suggests shifting patterns that may reflect seasonal changes or localized factors. These figures, while modest in absolute terms, provide a clear snapshot of the area’s crime profile relative to its population size and historical trends.
