Winslow Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Winslow, the crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents in November 2023 translates to a daily risk that is markedly lower than the UK average. This figure, which is 37.3% below the national benchmark of 7.5 per 1,000, suggests a community that, despite its small size, maintains a relatively secure environment. The most common crime type in the area during this period was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 44% of all reported incidents. This category was 19% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect the area’s character as a low-density built-up area with limited nightlife or public spaces that could contribute to such offences. Seasonal factors in November—such as the dark evenings associated with Bonfire Night and the commercial activity of Black Friday—may have influenced crime patterns. Vehicle crime, at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, was 20% above the UK average, a figure that could be linked to the area’s connectivity to major transport routes. Other theft and anti-social behaviour also showed distinct trends, with the former being 3% below the UK average and the latter 62% below. These variations highlight how local conditions, such as the absence of large retail centres or high-traffic zones, can shape the crime profile of a small community. The overall picture, while not without its fluctuations, remains one of relative safety, with crime rates that are consistently lower than national averages in most categories.

November 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime, drugs, and other crime each surging by 100% compared to the previous month. This spike in vehicle crime—jumping from zero to three incidents—may partly explain the seasonal context of Black Friday shopping. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50%, and anti-social behaviour decreased by 33.3%, suggesting a temporary reduction in disturbances. The breakdown of crime types reveals that violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, contributing 44% of all crimes, and were 19% below the UK average for this category. Meanwhile, vehicle crime in Winslow was 20% above the UK rate of 0.5 per 1,000, a discrepancy that could reflect local factors such as the area’s proximity to major roads or its status as a commuter hub. These figures provide residents with specific insights into where to focus attention, particularly on vehicle security during peak shopping periods.

In November 2023, Winslow recorded a crime rate of 4.7 per 1,000 residents, a 4.2% increase from the previous month’s rate of 4.5 per 1,000. This upward shift, though modest, reflects a subtle shift in local patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the consistency of criminal activity in a small built-up area. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one crime for every 212 residents, a statistic that situates Winslow firmly within the lower end of the UK’s crime spectrum. This monthly aggregate highlights the relative safety of the area, even as minor fluctuations in specific categories—such as the 100% rise in vehicle crime—suggest the need for continued vigilance in targeted areas. The contrast between Winslow’s overall rate and the UK’s 7.5 per 1,000 average further emphasizes the area’s distinct position, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour, which are 62% below the national benchmark. These figures collectively illustrate how a small, low-density community can maintain a crime profile that diverges significantly from broader trends.
