Aston Clinton Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Aston Clinton’s crime rate in May 2024 remained exceptionally low at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 83.3% below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national figures underscores the area’s overall safety, though the breakdown of crime types reveals specific patterns that merit attention. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of all incidents, a rate 82% below the UK average, suggesting that even when incidents occur, they are less frequent here. Burglary followed closely, contributing 22.2% of crimes.3 per 1,000 is only 3% below the UK average—a narrow margin that may indicate a need for targeted prevention measures. The rise in 'other crime' to 22.2% of total incidents, which is 76% above the UK average for this category, introduces a layer of complexity to the area’s crime profile. Seasonal factors in May, such as longer evenings and increased outdoor socialising, may have influenced the types of incidents reported. The low overall rate is consistent with Aston Clinton’s built-up character, where a relatively small population and low population density likely contribute to reduced opportunities for certain crimes. However, the doubling of burglary cases compared to April raises questions about local vulnerabilities, tied to specific locations or times of day. While the area remains markedly safer than the UK average, the shifts in crime types highlight the need for continued monitoring and community engagement to address emerging trends.

May 2024 saw a notable 100% increase in burglary and 'other crime' compared to April, with both categories rising from zero to two incidents. This shift contrasts with the 75% decline in criminal damage and arson, which fell from four to one incident. Violence and sexual offences also decreased by 62.5%, dropping from eight to three cases. These changes highlight a combination of factors influencing crime patterns, though the rise in burglary is particularly concerning for residents. The category of 'other crime'—which includes a range of non-specific incidents—now accounts for 22.2% of total crimes, matching burglary as the second-most common type. This increase is 76% above the UK average for this category, suggesting a potential gap in local reporting or a unique local trend. Residents should be aware of these shifts, particularly the doubling of burglary cases, which may indicate targeted activity in specific areas of the built-up zone.

Aston Clinton's crime rate in May 2024 stood at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, a 60.7% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 3.5 per 1,000. This decline underscores a continued trend of reduced criminal activity in the area, though residents should remain vigilant given the specific shifts in crime types. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 0 crimes per day in May, reflecting an exceptionally low level of reported incidents. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 732 residents, a figure that contextualises the rarity of incidents within the local population. While this monthly exposure rate is significantly lower than the UK average, such statistics are influenced by local factors, including the area’s relatively small population and the nature of its built-up environment. These figures suggest that Aston Clinton remains a place where crime is infrequent, but the specific increases in certain categories—such as burglary and other crime—warrant attention from local authorities and residents alike.
