Beaconsfield Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In August 2025, Beaconsfield recorded 74 crimes across its population of 13,889, translating to a crime rate of 5.3 per 1,000 residents. This figure represents a significant 34.6% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, underscoring the town's generally low crime profile. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences (25.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.3%) and other theft (16.2%). These patterns reflect the area's characteristics as a small, affluent town with a mix of residential and commercial zones. The high proportion of property-related crimes, particularly other theft and vehicle crime, may be influenced by the town's proximity to larger urban centres and its role as a commuter hub. Seasonal factors also played a role, with August's peak holiday season potentially increasing shoplifting risks while the absence of school holidays may have reduced youth-related anti-social behaviour. Despite these challenges, Beaconsfield's crime rate remains well below the UK average, a testament to effective local policing and community engagement initiatives. The decrease in violent crimes, which fell by 26.9% compared to July, suggests that ongoing efforts to address alcohol-fuelled incidents in public spaces are yielding results. However, the 76% increase in 'other theft' compared to the UK average highlights a need for targeted measures to address property-related crime in specific areas of the town.

August 2025 saw notable shifts in Beaconsfield's crime profile. Shoplifting increased by 25% compared to July, rising from 4 to 5 incidents, a trend that may partly explain by the town's proximity to tourist attractions during peak holiday season. Conversely, violent crimes fell by 26.9%, dropping from 26 to 19, a decrease that aligns with the area's generally lower levels of alcohol-fuelled violence. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 15.4%, reflecting a 20.3% share of all crimes, though this remains 25% below the UK average. The category of 'other theft' stood out as 76% above the UK average (0.5 per 1,000), highlighting a localised issue in property-related crimes. Vehicle crime, at 0.8 per 1,000, was 105% above the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted measures in car parks and residential areas. These patterns illustrate a combination of local demographics and seasonal factors, with Beaconsfield's crime profile showing both strengths and areas requiring focused attention.

Beaconsfield's crime rate in August 2025 fell to 5.3 per 1,000 residents, a 21.3% decline from July's 6.8 per 1,000. This reduction aligns with the area's generally low crime profile, which has consistently outperformed national averages. On a daily basis, the town saw an average of 2 crimes reported each day in August, a figure that reflects the area's relatively small population and community-focused policing efforts. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 188 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the town's safety compared to larger urban centres. With a population of 13,889, Beaconsfield's crime statistics translate to a manageable burden on local services, allowing for targeted interventions rather than broad-scale operations. This contrast with the UK's average of 8.1 per 1,000 highlights the effectiveness of local crime prevention strategies, particularly in managing property crimes and violent incidents through proactive community engagement.
