Winslow Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In June 2023, Winslow’s crime rate stood at 5.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 40% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This relatively low rate positions Winslow as a safer area compared to national trends. The dominant crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 33.3% of all reported crimes—nine incidents in total. This category’s rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 42% below the UK average, suggesting that local factors may contribute to reduced violent crime. The area’s built-up nature within Buckinghamshire likely influences this profile, as urban centres often see higher concentrations of certain offences. However, the seasonal context of June—a time of increased outdoor activity and the start of summer—may also play a role. While violent crime decreased by 50% from May, other categories like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage saw significant increases, indicating shifting patterns. The breakdown of crimes reveals that property-related offences, including other theft and vehicle crime, are also present but remain below UK averages. Winslow’s crime profile thus reflects a combination of local characteristics and seasonal influences, with violent crime being the most prominent driver. The area’s low overall rate, coupled with specific fluctuations, underscores the need for ongoing analysis to address emerging trends.

June 2023 saw a significant 50% reduction in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 18 to 9 incidents. This decrease, while notable, contrasts with sharp increases in other categories. Anti-social behaviour surged by 200%, rising from one to three incidents, a shift that may reflect changing social dynamics or seasonal factors. Similarly, criminal damage and arson doubled, and other theft cases increased from zero to four, highlighting emerging trends in property-related crime. Winslow’s violence and sexual offences rate of 1.7 per 1,000 is 42% below the UK average, a stark contrast to categories like criminal damage, which are 25% above the national rate. These divergences underscore the area’s unique crime profile. For residents, the reduction in violent crime is a clear positive, but the rise in anti-social behaviour and property damage suggests areas for further monitoring. The data also reveals that shoplifting remains 26% below the UK average, a figure that may reflect local retail practices or enforcement efforts.

Winslow’s crime rate in June 2023 rose slightly by 3.9% compared to the previous month, increasing from 4.9 to 5.1 per 1,000 residents. This shift, though modest, highlights the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one reported crime per day in June, a figure that reflects the relatively low overall rate compared to the UK average. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 196 residents, a ratio that contextualises the scale of crime in a way that is directly relatable to the local population. This monthly exposure statistic is particularly useful for residents seeking to understand the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives. Winslow’s population of 5,290 means that crime impacts a small but notable portion of the community, though the rate remains well below the UK average. The combination of low crime figures and the area’s built-up character suggests that local factors, such as community policing or demographic stability, may contribute to this trend. However, the increases in specific categories like anti-social behaviour and criminal damage indicate areas requiring closer attention.
