Winslow Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Winslow's August 2025 crime rate of 5.1 per 1,000 residents marked a 28.5% increase from July but remained 37% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Violence and sexual offences (12 incidents) dominated the crime profile, contributing 44.4% of all reported crimes, a rate 20% lower than the UK average. This category's 20% monthly decline from 15 to 12 incidents may reflect seasonal patterns, as August is a peak holiday month when local populations temporarily shrink and tourism increases. Anti-social behaviour, however, surged by 150% to five incidents, the highest rate among non-violent crimes. This spike, coupled with the doubling of public order and burglary cases, suggests a combination of factors, including increased transient populations during August. Winslow's built-up nature and limited high-density zones likely contribute to its lower overall crime rate compared to larger urban areas. Seasonal context further influences crime dynamics, with August's tourism season potentially elevating anti-social behaviour while reducing violent crime due to fewer residents. The area's low property crime rates, particularly for shoplifting (68% below UK average) and burglary (26% below), align with its character as a smaller, more tightly knit community with fewer commercial hubs.

August 2025 saw a 150% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 2 to 5 incidents, a stark contrast to the 50% drop in other theft cases. Burglary and public order offences both doubled from zero to one incident, marking a significant shift in crime patterns. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category (44.4% of total crimes), fell by 20% compared to July, aligning with a UK average that is 20% higher. The sharp rise in anti-social behaviour, however, outpaced other categories and may partly reflect seasonal factors such as increased foot traffic during August's peak holiday period. For residents, the 20% decrease in violent crime is a notable positive, though the spike in anti-social behaviour warrants attention from local authorities.

Winslow's crime rate in August 2025 rose 28.5% compared to July's 4.0 per 1,000, reaching 5.1 per 1,000. This increase, though notable, remains 37% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Daily crime figures show one reported incident per day on average, a rate consistent with Winslow's typically low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 196 residents, a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the area's population of 5,290. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average for most categories, reflecting Winslow's status as a built-up area with limited high-density residential zones. The population context highlights that even with the 28.5% increase, the absolute number of crimes remains small, reinforcing the area's overall safety profile compared to larger urban centres.
