Beaconsfield Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Beaconsfield's crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 35.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This continued trend of lower-than-national crime rates reflects the area's character as a largely residential, commuter-oriented built-up area within Buckinghamshire. The most prevalent crimes were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44.4% of all reported incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.1%) and shoplifting (8.3%). While violent crime remains a concern—particularly with 32 incidents reported in June, a rate of 2.3 per 1,000—the category is 20% below the UK average. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the start of summer tourism, may have influenced patterns of criminal activity. For instance, shoplifting's 200% increase compared to May could be linked to increased retail activity during the summer months, though no definitive causal link is established. Conversely, anti-social behaviour's sharp rise may reflect changes in community dynamics during the warmer weather. Despite these increases, Beaconsfield's overall crime profile remains markedly safer than the UK average, a trend consistent with the area's low-density, suburban nature. The balance between property and violent crimes also shifted slightly in June, with property crimes (26 incidents) making up 36% of total reports, compared to 45% for violent crimes. This mix suggests that while violent crime remains a primary concern, property-related offences are also an emerging focus for local authorities.

June 2025 saw a stark increase in shoplifting, with reported cases rising by 200% compared to May, from 2 to 6 incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, raises concerns for local retailers and shoppers. Anti-social behaviour also increased sharply by 166.7%, rising from 3 to 8 incidents, a figure that is 58% below the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000. Meanwhile, vehicle crime decreased by 37.5%, falling from 8 to 5 incidents, though it remained 8% above the UK average. The data also reveals an unexpected rise in 'other crime' by 100%, with 3 incidents reported for the first time this year. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high foot traffic, where shoplifting and anti-social behaviour are most likely to occur. The contrast between rising property crimes and falling violent crimes—violence and sexual offences dropped by 10% in June—suggests shifting patterns in criminal activity that warrant further observation.

Beaconsfield's crime rate in June 2025 rose by 12.4% compared to the previous month, increasing from 4.6 to 5.2 per 1,000 residents. While this marks a slight upward trend, the area remains significantly safer than the UK average, with crime rates 35.8% below the national figure. On a daily basis, 2 crimes were reported each day in June, a figure that reflects the area's generally low crime environment. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 193 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relative safety of Beaconsfield compared to larger urban centres. This statistic, when contextualised against the area's population of 13,889, illustrates how infrequent crime remains in this built-up area. The shift in crime patterns compared to May may partly reflect seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic during summer from the data alone.
