Gerrards Cross Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Gerrards Cross, a built-up area in Buckinghamshire, recorded a crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents in September 2025, placing it 37.8% below the UK average of 7.4. This figure, while modest, reflects the area’s continued status as one of the safer communities in the country. The crime profile in September was dominated by violence and sexual offences (27.3% of total incidents), followed closely by other theft (15.2%) and public order offences (15.2%). These patterns align with seasonal rhythms, as the month marks the transition from summer to autumn—a period when back-to-school activities and university freshers’ week may contribute to increased social interactions and associated risks. The relatively low levels of violent crime, despite the area’s proximity to London, may be attributed to its compact, residential character and strong community policing presence. However, the presence of public order offences and the slight uptick in other theft suggest that areas with higher foot traffic, such as the town centre, may require targeted attention. The overall crime rate also benefits from a drop in property-related incidents, with burglary rates falling sharply by 66.7% compared to August. While direct causal links, the seasonal context—nights drawing in and the start of term-time activities—likely contributes to the mix of offences observed.

September 2025 marked a significant increase in 'other crime,' which rose by 100% compared to the previous month, jumping from 0 to 2 reported incidents. This category, which includes unclassified offences, may partly explain the slight shift in the crime mix. Meanwhile, 'other theft' saw a 25% increase, rising from 4 to 5 incidents—a trend that contrasts with the overall downward trajectory of the area’s crime rate. Several categories remain significantly below the UK average: violence and sexual offences are 53% below the national rate, and anti-social behaviour is 66% below. However, 'other theft' and 'public order' offences are 40% and 30% above UK averages, respectively, suggesting localized pressures in these areas. Residents should be particularly aware of the spike in 'other crime,' as this category may signal emerging issues that require closer monitoring.

Gerrards Cross saw a 21.6% decline in its crime rate from 5.8 to 4.6 per 1,000 residents in September 2025, continuing a downward trend observed in recent months. This reduction positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with a rate 37.8% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day during the month, reflecting a low but consistent level of activity. When scaled to the population, this translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 220 residents over the course of September. While this figure may seem abstract, it underscores the relatively low risk environment for residents. The monthly exposure metric also highlights that the majority of the population is unaffected by crime, though localized hotspots—particularly in areas with higher foot traffic—may still require vigilance. This population-scaled perspective helps contextualize the data for individuals living or working in the area, emphasizing that while crime is present, it remains a rare occurrence for most residents.
