Aston Clinton Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Aston Clinton recorded 34 crimes across a population of 6,585 residents, translating to a crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 individuals. This figure represents a 39.5% deficit compared to the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000, highlighting the area's comparatively low crime environment. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 32.4% of all reported incidents (11 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.7%) and other theft (14.7%). This distribution contrasts with the UK average, where violence and sexual offences typically constitute 44% of all crimes. The summer season appears to influence patterns, with 34 crimes recorded during a period of peak tourism, festivals, and school holidays. While this context may increase opportunities for crime, the overall low rate suggests effective community policing or natural deterrents such as the area's limited commercial density. Violence and sexual offences in Aston Clinton were 44% below the UK average, a disparity consistent with the area's built-up but non-urban character, where fewer late-night venues and lower population density may reduce exposure to such crimes. Anti-social behaviour also fell significantly below the UK average (42% below), reflecting the area's quieter residential profile. However, other theft and vehicle crime were higher than national benchmarks, indicating vulnerabilities in property security or temporary spikes linked to summer activities. These findings suggest a combination of seasonal dynamics and local characteristics that shape crime patterns in Aston Clinton.

July 2025 saw a 150% increase in other theft, rising from 2 to 5 incidents. This jump, while significant, still places the rate at 0.8 per 1,000—45% above the UK average for this category. Concurrently, vehicle crime surged by 100%, with four incidents reported compared to none in June. This shift may reflect increased outdoor activity during peak summer, as festivals and events in the area create temporary opportunities for such crimes. Conversely, drug-related offences fell by 50%, dropping from 2 to 1. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns observed in similar rural-adjacent built-up areas, where reduced foot traffic during school holidays may limit drug-related activity. The most notable UK comparison is for violence and sexual offences, which in Aston Clinton were 44% below the national average. This suggests a community environment with lower levels of violent crime than the UK as a whole, due to the area's limited nightlife and quieter residential character.

Aston Clinton's crime rate in July 2025 stood at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 3.0% decline from the previous month's 5.3. This minor drop aligns with broader patterns observed in similar built-up areas during summer months, where increased community activity and tourism may contribute to lower reported crime. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime per day over July, a figure that translates to roughly one reported incident for every 194 residents across the month. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average, reflecting Aston Clinton's relatively stable crime environment. The population context further underscores this: with 6,585 residents, the 34 recorded crimes represent a small fraction of the population, suggesting that most residents experience minimal direct exposure to crime. This aligns with the area's character as a low-density built-up zone with limited commercial density compared to larger urban centres.
