Aston Clinton Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Aston Clinton’s crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents in October 2025 places it 77.9% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting a stark contrast to national trends. This built-up area within Buckinghamshire, likely shaped by its suburban character and lower population density, shows a crime profile dominated by violence and sexual offences (36.4% of total crimes), followed by drug-related incidents (27.3%) and other theft (18.2%). The seasonal context of October—shorter days, Halloween festivities, and the clocks going back—may have influenced patterns, though the area’s overall safety remains evident. Violence and sexual offences, while the most common category, remain 77% below the UK average, suggesting local factors such as community engagement or policing strategies may contribute to this divergence. Drug offences, however, stand out as 79% above the UK average, indicating a specific challenge in this category. The low overall crime rate, combined with a balanced mix of violent and property crimes, illustrates an area where crime prevention efforts appear to be working, though targeted interventions may still be needed for drug-related issues.

October 2025 saw marked decreases in key crime categories compared to September, with violence and sexual offences dropping by 71.4% (from 14 to 4 incidents). Anti-social behaviour also fell sharply, by 66.7% (from 3 to 1), while public order offences decreased by 50.0% (from 2 to 1). These reductions suggest potential success in local initiatives or seasonal factors, such as the transition to darker evenings reducing opportunities for certain crimes. However, drug-related offences remain a concern, with 3 incidents recorded—79% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This disparity highlights a specific challenge for Aston Clinton, as drug crime is higher than the national average. The crime mix also shows a shift: while violent crimes (4) still dominate, property crimes (2) are less frequent, reflecting a balance that is 42% below the UK average for other theft. For residents, the sharp decline in public order offences may indicate improved community cohesion or policing focus in this area during October.

Aston Clinton’s crime rate in October 2025 fell 63.4% compared to September’s 4.6 per 1,000, marking a significant improvement. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 0 crimes per day over the 31-day period, underscoring its low-crime environment. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of October, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 599 residents—a figure that, when contextualised with the area’s population of 6,585, illustrates the rarity of crime in this built-up area. This compares favourably to the UK average, where residents face a much higher risk. The population-scaled perspective also reveals that Aston Clinton’s crime rate is exceptionally low, with the majority of residents unlikely to encounter crime during the month. While this suggests strong local safety measures, the 79% increase in drug-related offences compared to the UK average highlights a need for targeted strategies in this category. The combination of low overall crime and specific vulnerabilities in drug crime paints a nuanced picture of an area that is largely safe but requires focused attention in certain areas.
