Aston Clinton Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Aston Clinton's crime profile in March 2025 was defined by an unusually low rate of violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.4% of all crimes reported. At 4.1 per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate was 47.4% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the area's relative safety. The most common offences were violence and sexual offences, followed by anti-social behaviour and other crime, creating a mix that diverges from the UK average in several key categories. This pattern may be influenced by the area's built-up nature within Buckinghamshire, where community policing and limited commercial activity could contribute to lower violent crime rates. Seasonal factors in March—such as the transition to spring and longer evenings—may have encouraged more outdoor activity, increasing exposure to certain crimes like public order offences, though these remained below the UK average. The data also highlights a notable 34% gap between Aston Clinton's rate of violence and sexual offences and the UK average, a figure that suggests the area's demographics or local initiatives may play a role in maintaining lower levels of violent crime. While property crimes were relatively rare (6 incidents total), the overall balance between violent and property crimes indicates a crime profile that is more skewed towards interpersonal offences than the national trend.

March 2025 saw a 200% increase in 'other crime' compared to February, rising from one to three incidents. This category, which includes fraud and other non-specific offences, is 163% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. Concurrently, public order offences and burglary both doubled from zero to one incident each, marking a stark shift in the crime mix. Vehicle crime, however, dropped by 80% (from five to one), a decline that may reflect seasonal changes in parking patterns or reduced vehicle-related activity as the weather warmed. The rise in 'other crime' contrasts with the 34% below UK average rate for violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 44.4% of all crimes. Residents may find the 80% decrease in vehicle crime particularly notable, suggesting a potential reduction in theft from parked vehicles during the month.

Aston Clinton's crime rate in March 2025 rose by 17.5% compared to February's 3.5 per 1,000, reflecting a slight upward trend. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that aligns with the area's generally low crime profile. When scaled to the local population of 6,585, this translates to one crime occurring for every 244 residents over the course of March—a monthly aggregate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents. This rate remains significantly below the UK average, but the increase from February suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, while crime is rare, the 17.5% rise could be influenced by seasonal factors such as extended daylight hours or changes in community activity patterns during the transition to spring.
