Beaconsfield Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Beaconsfield's crime rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents in June 2023 places it 28.2% below the UK average, reflecting the area's overall safety profile. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 34.5% of all incidents, followed by vehicle crime and criminal damage and arson at 11.9% each. This distribution aligns with Beaconsfield's built-up character, where residential and commercial areas may contribute to both violent incidents and property-related crimes. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer — is likely a factor in the crime profile, as longer daylight hours and increased social activity can influence patterns of criminal behaviour. While the overall rate remains stable, the significant share of violent crime suggests a need for continued community engagement and policing focus in areas prone to such incidents. Vehicle crime, though relatively low compared to the UK average, remains a concern given its 49% above the national rate. This discrepancy may be explained by local factors such as the density of parked vehicles in residential areas or the presence of high-traffic zones. The data also shows that anti-social behaviour is 73% below the UK average, a positive indicator that could be attributed to the area's community-oriented environment. As the summer season progresses, residents are advised to remain vigilant in public spaces and ensure vehicle security, particularly in areas with high foot traffic.

June 2023 saw a sharp rise in public order offences, increasing by 166.7% to 8 incidents — the most significant month-on-month jump in the area. This surge, from 3 to 8, is likely linked to the start of the summer season and increased public activity in Beaconsfield's town centre. Robbery incidents also doubled, rising from 1 to 2, a change that could indicate heightened vulnerability in specific locations such as high-traffic retail areas. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson increased by 66.7% (6 to 10), a trend that may reflect seasonal factors or local events. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 50% (2 to 1), and burglary rates halved (6 to 3), due to increased community awareness or seasonal patterns. Vehicle crime remains 49% above the UK average at 0.7 per 1,000, a figure that residents should monitor closely given Beaconsfield's built-up nature and potential for parking-related incidents. These shifts highlight the need for targeted vigilance in public spaces and vehicle security.

Beaconsfield's crime rate remained stable at 6.1 per 1,000 residents in June 2023, unchanged from the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 3 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the local population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 165 residents, a monthly exposure rate that provides a tangible measure of risk for residents. When compared to the UK average, Beaconsfield's overall crime rate remains 28.2% below the national figure, a gap that reflects the area's broader safety profile. However, this aggregate statistic masks variations in specific crime categories, such as vehicle crime, which is 49% above the UK average. These disparities highlight the importance of examining crime types individually to understand local challenges. The stability in the crime rate, combined with the relatively low exposure per resident, suggests that Beaconsfield continues to maintain a safer environment than many parts of the country, though targeted efforts may still be needed for specific issues.
