Aston Clinton Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

September 2025 marked a significant shift in Aston Clinton's crime profile, with the area's overall crime rate standing at 4.6 per 1,000 residents — 37.8% below the UK average. This built-up area within Buckinghamshire maintains a generally low crime environment, though the month's data reveals a notable uptick in violent offences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 46.7% of all reported crimes, far surpassing other categories such as drugs (13.3%) and anti-social behaviour (10.0%). The dominance of violent crime in September contrasts with the area's usual pattern, which typically sees property crimes and anti-social behaviour as more prevalent. Seasonal factors likely contributed to this shift, as September coincides with the return of students to local institutions and the transition into darker evenings, which may influence patterns of social interaction and outdoor activity. While the area's crime rate remains significantly below the UK average, the rise in violent offences suggests a need for continued monitoring. The drugs category, though relatively small in volume, remains 131% above the UK average, indicating a persistent local challenge. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both fell below UK averages, reflecting a generally stable environment in these areas. The overall picture illustrates a combination of localized issues and broader regional trends, with Aston Clinton's crime profile shaped by its unique demographic and geographic characteristics.

September 2025 saw a dramatic 180% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 5 to 14 cases. This spike is the most significant month-on-month change recorded, outpacing other categories by a wide margin. The rise in violent crimes may be linked to seasonal factors, such as the start of the academic year and the return of students to the area. Other notable increases included a 100% rise in public order offences and a 100% jump in 'other crime' reports, which were previously unrecorded in August. While drugs offences remained 131% above the UK average, this category only accounted for 13.3% of total crimes, suggesting a localized issue rather than a widespread trend. Residents should note that the area's overall crime rate remains 37.8% below the UK average, though the sharp rise in violent offences warrants attention.

Aston Clinton's crime rate rose by 50.0% from August 2025 to September 2025, increasing from 3.0 to 4.6 per 1,000 residents. This shift contrasts with the area's overall position below the UK average, though the upward trend highlights a local fluctuation. On a daily basis, 1 crime was reported per day in September, reflecting a low but consistent presence of criminal activity in this built-up area. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for roughly every 220 residents, placing the monthly exposure in context for the local population. With a population of 6,585, this figure suggests that most residents are unlikely to directly encounter crime, though the increase in violent offences may alter this perception. The change aligns with seasonal transitions, as September marks the start of the academic year and nights draw in, potentially influencing patterns of activity and interaction in public spaces.
