Whitnash Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Whitnash, 2.3 crimes were recorded in December 2025—a figure 67.1% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This low rate translates to a daily risk of roughly one crime per 31 days, or one reported incident for every 436 residents over the course of the month. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (52.9% of total), followed by possession of weapons (17.7%) and anti-social behaviour (5.9%). This starkly contrasts with the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which stood at 2.6 per 1,000, highlighting a 53% gap in this category. Seasonal factors likely contribute to the crime profile: December’s dark evenings and holiday-related absences may amplify risks in certain areas. The area’s character—as a small built-up area within Warwick—suggests a tightly knit community with limited commercial activity, which may help explain the absence of high-volume property crimes typically associated with larger urban centres. Violent crime rates in Whitnash are 53% below the UK average, a disparity consistent with the area’s rural-adjacent demographics and limited nightlife infrastructure. The low prevalence of vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) and burglary (0.1 per 1,000) further underscores the area’s relative safety compared to more densely populated regions.

December 2025 saw a 12.5% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 8 to 9 cases—a shift that may reflect seasonal pressures such as holiday-related tensions or heightened public activity during Christmas shopping. Possession of weapons rose sharply by 100%, jumping from 0 to 3 incidents, a figure 471% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000. This anomaly could indicate unreported local issues or specific enforcement actions. Conversely, other theft fell by two-thirds (from 3 to 1), due to reduced retail activity during the festive period or increased community vigilance. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 50%, from 2 to 1 case, a trend that may align with seasonal shifts in public behaviour or targeted interventions. The absence of property crimes like burglary or vehicle crime—both below UK averages by 64% and 73% respectively—suggests that Whitnash’s compact, low-density layout may inherently limit opportunities for such crimes. Residents should note that while violent crime remains a concern, the overall risk is significantly lower than national benchmarks, with only 1 in 436 residents affected by a reported crime this month.

Whitnash’s crime rate in December 2025 (2.3 per 1,000) was 5.8% lower than the previous month’s rate of 2.4 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent decline. This translates to a daily crime count of approximately 1 incident per 31 days, a figure that underscores the area’s safety relative to larger urban centres. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 436 residents—a monthly exposure rate that is exceptionally low by UK standards. With a population of 7,411, this means that the likelihood of any individual encountering crime is minimal compared to national averages. The stark contrast between Whitnash and the UK’s overall crime profile is evident in categories like violence and sexual offences, where the area’s rate is 53% below the national average. However, the 471% disparity in possession of weapons highlights a unique local dynamic that warrants further contextual analysis. These statistics suggest that while Whitnash is generally safe, specific pockets of activity—such as those related to weapons possession—require targeted attention. The area’s compact size and low population density likely play a role in maintaining low crime rates, though the absence of a robust commercial or nightlife sector may also reduce opportunities for certain types of offences.
