Figures for the Stratford Town policing neighbourhood from data.police.uk, published by Warwickshire Police about two months after the month ends. Updated 13 October 2026. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
Understanding the figures
- These are crimes recorded by the police, not all crime. Some crime is never reported, and changes in recording can move the numbers.
- Stratford is a busy tourist town with a large night-time economy, so its figures include incidents involving visitors as well as residents. That makes per-resident comparisons with other towns misleading.
- Anti-social behaviour counts incidents reported to the police; not all of them are crimes.
- Single months jump about. The 12-month totals are a better guide to the trend.
- Figures are published about two months after the month ends and can be revised. We count crimes inside the neighbourhood’s boundary, so totals may differ slightly from police.uk’s own summaries. We don’t list individual streets.
