In the 12 months to August 2026, the most common types were violence and sexual offences (2,220), other crime (908) and shoplifting (744).
A year earlier, the recorded crime rate in CV3 was 84.6 per 1,000 people.

Rates are per resident, so places that many people work in or visit, such as Westminster, the City of London and other city centres, have far higher rates than their residents alone would suggest.
