Buckinghamshire Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Buckinghamshire's crime rate in June 2025 (5.7 per 1,000 residents) stands 29.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower level of criminal activity compared to the national picture. The area's crime profile is dominated by violence and sexual offences (40.5% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (12.4%) and other theft (9.2%). This mix contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes and public order offences typically carry heavier weights. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer with longer daylight hours — likely contributes to the prominence of violent crimes, as outdoor activity and tourism in Buckinghamshire's rural and coastal regions increase. However, the area's overall safety is reinforced by its significantly lower rates of anti-social behaviour (51% below UK average) and public order offences (15% below UK average). These trends align with Buckinghamshire's character as a largely rural and suburban district, where community policing efforts and lower population density may temper the incidence of certain crime types. The relatively low rate of burglary (0.2 per 1,000, 29% below UK average) further underscores the area's distinct profile, with fewer incidents of home-related crime compared to more densely populated urban centres.

June 2025 saw a marked 56.3% increase in theft from the person, rising from 16 to 25 incidents. This sharp rise contrasts with a 37.2% decrease in robbery, which fell from 43 to 27. The shift in crime mix suggests a potential reallocation of criminal activity, with property-related crimes like burglary also rising by 24.7% (85 to 106). Meanwhile, violent crime remains significantly below the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 2.3 per 1,000 — 20% below the national rate. Anti-social behaviour, another major category, is 51% below the UK average at 0.7 per 1,000. These disparities highlight Buckinghamshire's distinct profile compared to other areas, where higher rates of anti-social behaviour and public order offences are more common. For residents, the 56.3% spike in theft from the person offers a concrete example of how crime patterns can shift rapidly, even within a single month.

Buckinghamshire's crime rate in June 2025 rose slightly to 5.7 per 1,000 residents, a 4.6% increase from the previous month's 5.4. This upward trend, though modest, aligns with the start of summer when tourism activity in the area's rural and coastal regions typically increases. On a daily basis, 109 crimes were reported over the 30-day period, equating to roughly one reported crime for every 177 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure provides a tangible sense of the frequency of incidents within the local population. While the overall rate remains well below the UK average, the slight month-on-month rise suggests a need for continued monitoring of seasonal patterns, particularly as summer progresses. The population context further underscores that even a small increase in crime rate translates to a significant number of incidents when scaled across Buckinghamshire's 578,772 residents.
