Beaconsfield Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Beaconsfield, 6.8 crimes were reported in July 2025—a rate 20.9% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This figure translates to a per-capita risk that is lower than national benchmarks, with violence and sexual offences comprising 27.7% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (13.8%) and other theft (13.8%). The seasonal context of July—peak summer, school holidays, and tourism—likely influences the crime mix, as outdoor events and festivals may drive public order offences. However, the area's crime profile remains distinct: while violent crime rates are 38% below the UK average, property crimes like vehicle theft are 105% above national levels, a discrepancy that may reflect Beaconsfield's proximity to major transport routes and its role as a commuter hub. The drop in burglary cases compared to June, coupled with a 54% deficit in shoplifting compared to the UK average, suggests that local retail security measures and community engagement efforts may be effective. This data underscores the importance of situational factors in shaping crime patterns, with Beaconsfield's built-up area characteristics influencing both the types and frequency of incidents reported.

July 2025 saw a 450% surge in public order offences, jumping from two to 11 cases—a stark anomaly in the area's otherwise stable crime profile. This spike, consistent with the peak of summer festivals and outdoor events, may partly explain the increase in anti-social behaviour reports, which rose by 160% to 13 cases. Conversely, burglary rates dropped by 50%, aligning with a general trend of reduced property crime during warmer months. Violence and sexual offences fell by 18.8% compared to June, despite the summer season, suggesting that local community initiatives or increased police presence in high-traffic areas may have contributed to this decline. Residents should note that other theft cases—up 160%—include incidents at local businesses, linked to increased foot traffic during the July tourist peak.

Beaconsfield's crime rate in July 2025 (6.8 per 1,000 residents) marks a 30.7% increase from the previous month's 5.2 per 1,000. This rise translates to roughly three reported crimes per day, a figure that may feel more tangible to residents. Over the course of July, one crime occurred for every 148 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places the area in a safer bracket compared to the UK average. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Beaconsfield's crime profile remains markedly lower than national trends, with categories like violence and sexual offences 38% below the UK average. However, the sharp rise in public order crimes—jumping from two to 11 cases—suggests a need for local vigilance during summer festivals and outdoor events. These figures, while modest in absolute terms, highlight the dynamic interplay between seasonal activity and crime patterns in a built-up area with a strong community presence.
