Aston Clinton Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In Aston Clinton, the per-capita crime risk in June 2024 translates to a daily probability of encountering one reported crime for every 366 residents over the course of the month. With a crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 67.1% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This stark contrast reflects a fundamentally different crime profile compared to larger urban centres. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.9% of all reported incidents, followed by vehicle crime (27.8%) and other theft (11.1%). These figures suggest a mix of localised tensions and specific vulnerabilities, such as vehicle-related crime, which may be linked to the area’s infrastructure or seasonal activity patterns. June, as the start of summer, brings longer daylight hours and increased tourism in nearby rural areas, which could influence crime dynamics. However, the low overall rate indicates that Aston Clinton’s built-up area maintains a relatively safe environment for residents, with most incidents concentrated in narrower categories rather than widespread disorder.

June 2024 saw a dramatic surge in vehicle crime, jumping from 1 to 5 incidents—a 400% increase compared to May. This spike, while still below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000 (78% higher than Aston Clinton’s rate), raises questions about specific vulnerabilities in local vehicle storage or parking areas. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences rose by 133.3%, from 3 to 7 incidents, placing the category 60% below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000. This suggests that while violent crime is present, its scale is significantly mitigated compared to national trends. Other theft also doubled, from 0 to 2 incidents, though it remains 48% below the UK average. These shifts highlight a notable imbalance in crime distribution, with property-related issues (vehicle crime and theft) becoming more prominent than violent crime, which is typically higher in densely populated areas. Residents might find the 400% increase in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it underscores a specific area for vigilance, such as securing vehicles in public spaces.

The crime rate in June 2024 (2.7 per 1,000) marked a 99.3% increase compared to May’s rate of 1.4 per 1,000, reflecting a significant upward trend over the past month. On a daily basis, Aston Clinton experienced roughly one reported crime per day in June—a local figure that does not include UK-wide comparisons. When scaled to the population, this means that over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 366 residents, a statistic that contextualises risk in terms of personal likelihood rather than absolute numbers. This monthly exposure figure, while low, contrasts sharply with the UK’s higher overall rates, indicating that Aston Clinton’s built-up area operates within a distinct risk framework. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the rarity of crime in the area, with even the most common categories (violence and sexual offences) affecting only a small fraction of residents. These figures collectively suggest that while crime has risen in June, the area remains exceptionally safe compared to national benchmarks, with the majority of residents unlikely to encounter any reported incident during the month.
