Winslow Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Winslow’s crime rate in November 2024 stood at 3.8 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 50% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000. This figure, though modest, reflects a combination of local conditions and broader national trends. Violent crimes dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 85% of all incidents, with 17 reported cases of violence and sexual offences. This category’s rate of 3.2 per 1,000 was 24% below the UK average, suggesting that while violent crime has surged locally, it remains relatively contained compared to other regions. Property crimes, by contrast, were rare, with only three incidents reported—criminal damage and arson at 0.4 per 1,000, 30% below the UK average. The seasonal context of November, with its shorter days and events like Bonfire Night, likely contributed to the spike in violent offences, as darker evenings may have increased opportunities for crime in public spaces. The low overall rate, however, indicates that Winslow’s built-up area within Buckinghamshire maintains a safer profile than many comparable towns, possibly due to its smaller population and limited retail or nightlife infrastructure. This data highlights that while residents face a low but tangible risk, the area’s crime profile remains markedly different from the UK average, with violence being the primary concern rather than property-related incidents.

November 2024 saw a dramatic 240% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from five to 17 incidents. This surge, though stark, still places Winslow’s violent crime rate at 3.2 per 1,000—24% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Property crimes, by contrast, remained sparse, with only three reported (0.4 per 1,000), a figure 30% below the UK average for criminal damage and arson. The crime mix shifted sharply toward violent offences, which accounted for 85% of all incidents, compared to 15% for property crimes. This imbalance suggests that local factors, such as seasonal events like Bonfire Night and the darker evenings of November, may have amplified risks in public spaces. Residents should be particularly vigilant in areas with high foot traffic during late hours, where the likelihood of encountering violent incidents is higher than in other months.

In November 2024, Winslow’s crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents marked an 81.7% increase from the previous month’s rate of 2.1. This rise, though significant, still places the area 50% below the UK average. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of one reported crime per day over the month, reflecting a low but noticeable presence of criminal activity. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 265 residents, a figure that contextualises risk in terms of everyday likelihood. While this ratio remains substantially lower than the UK average, the upward trend from October suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population context further underscores that even with the increase, Winslow’s residents face a markedly lower risk than the national average, with violent crime accounting for 85% of incidents but remaining 24% below the UK rate for this category. These numbers highlight a balance between local fluctuations and broader regional trends.
