Little Chalfont Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2025, Little Chalfont recorded 45 crimes, translating to a crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents — 23.5% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure, while lower than the national benchmark, reflects a 50.0% increase from the previous month's rate of 4.2. The area's crime profile is dominated by anti-social behaviour (31.1% of total incidents), followed by violence and sexual offences (28.9%) and burglary (11.1%). These patterns align with the characteristics of a small built-up area within Buckinghamshire, where community dynamics and limited commercial activity may influence crime trends. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer, may have contributed to increased anti-social behaviour. The UK average comparison highlights a broader trend of lower crime rates in rural and semi-rural areas, where factors such as stronger social cohesion and fewer public spaces may deter certain types of offences. Shoplifting and burglary rates in Little Chalfont are significantly higher than the UK average for their respective categories, suggesting localised vulnerabilities that may require targeted interventions. The overall crime rate, however, remains well below the national average, indicating that the area's broader characteristics — including its relatively small population and lower levels of economic deprivation — contribute to a safer environment overall.

June 2025 saw a 400% increase in burglary cases, rising from 1 to 5 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 200% jump in shoplifting (1 to 3), suggests a potential shift in criminal activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour, which accounts for 31.1% of all crimes, nearly doubled from 7 to 14 cases, marking a 100% month-on-month increase. This category is 34% above the UK average of 1.4 per 1,000, indicating a localised challenge in managing public order. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50%, from 2 to 1 incident, offering a contrasting trend. The violent crime category. of total incidents, is 37% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggesting a relative safety in this area compared to national benchmarks. These shifts may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic during summer months.

Little Chalfont's crime rate in June 2025 (6.2 per 1,000 residents) marked a 50.0% increase from the previous month's 4.2 per 1,000. This shift translates to roughly 2 crimes per day across the area's 7,210 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 160 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the population. While the rate remains 23.5% below the UK average, the month-on-month rise suggests a temporary uptick in activity. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with 45 total crimes, the local impact is proportionally lower than the national average. This contrast may reflect the area's rural character, where community cohesion and limited public spaces could contribute to lower overall crime rates despite specific category spikes.
