Crime Risk Scores

Warwickshire Police • 12 Months Ending April 2026

 

The typical five-minute walk within Warwickshire Police has a crime risk score of 452. This is based on analysis of 21,838 nearby areas within Warwickshire Police, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.

Five Mins
452 crime risk score
Ten Mins
447 crime risk score
Fifteen Mins
453 crime risk score

Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in Warwickshire Police's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.

Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Warwickshire Police, crime risk scores are typically around 452, while in National they are average 500.

Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 447 (500 for National), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 453 (National 500).

Calculated via Seasonal and Trend decomposition using Loess, the Seasonality Adjusted line represents the original data with seasonality subtracted, and the Trend line has been plotted unadjusted. Overall trend direction has been identified using the Mann-Kendall trend test, and rate calculated from the slope of the best-fit line identified from linear regression.
