Aston Clinton Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Aston Clinton's crime rate for October 2024 was 1.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 77.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s exceptional safety profile compared to the national picture, where crime rates are typically higher in urban and densely populated regions. The breakdown of crimes reveals a disproportionate focus on violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 66.7% of the total 12 reported incidents. This category alone was 55% below the UK average for the same type of crime, underscoring the area’s relatively low levels of violent activity. Other crime types, such as criminal damage and arson, were also significantly below the UK average, with the latter being 66% lower than the national figure. Seasonal factors may have influenced these trends, as October’s darker evenings and Halloween festivities could have contributed to a slight uptick in incidents. The area’s built-up nature within Buckinghamshire likely plays a role in its lower crime rates, as smaller communities often experience fewer incidents per capita. The dominance of violent crimes over property crimes further suggests that local dynamics—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may be effective in deterring theft and burglary. However, the 100% increase in possession of weapons, while statistically significant, remains an isolated anomaly in an otherwise stable environment. This data reinforces Aston Clinton’s position as a low-crime area, where the combination of geographic isolation, community policing, and seasonal considerations creates a unique crime profile that diverges from broader UK trends.

October 2024 saw a 100% increase in possession of weapons, rising from 0 to 1 incident, and a similar surge in anti-social behaviour, both of which were previously unreported in the month. This shift contrasts with significant declines in other categories: vehicle crime dropped by 75.0% (from 4 to 1), and criminal damage and arson fell by 50.0% (from 2 to 1). The violent crime category, which dominated the month with 8 incidents (66.7% of all crimes), remained 55% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. Meanwhile, possession of weapons in Aston Clinton was 186% above the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, a rare outlier in an otherwise low-crime environment. These fluctuations suggest a combination of localized factors and broader trends, though the overall safety profile of the area remains strong compared to national benchmarks.

Aston Clinton's crime rate in October 2024 stood at 1.8 per 1,000 residents, a 50.0% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.6 per 1,000. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, with the gap widening further. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, highlighting an exceptionally low frequency of incidents. When scaled to the local population of 6,585, this equates to one reported crime for every 549 residents over the course of the month—a figure that underscores the area's relative safety compared to national trends. While the UK's average crime rate reflects a mix of urban and rural dynamics, Aston Clinton’s built-up nature likely contributes to its lower exposure, as smaller communities often see fewer incidents per capita. The monthly exposure metric, though not directly comparable to UK-wide data, provides a clear snapshot of how infrequent crime is in this specific location, offering residents a tangible sense of security.
