Winslow Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Winslow’s crime rate stood at 8.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 19.2% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure translates to a tangible risk for individuals, with roughly one in every 115 residents experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (4.0 per 1,000, 45.7% of total crimes) and other theft (2.8 per 1,000, 32.6% of total crimes), both of which exceeded UK averages by significant margins. The seasonal context of November—marked by dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—likely contributed to these trends. For instance, the spike in violent offences may be consistent with increased social interactions during festive events, while the surge in thefts could reflect heightened retail activity. However, the area’s crime profile also shows variation: vehicle crime (0.6 per 1,000) and criminal damage (0.4 per 1,000) were below UK averages, suggesting that local factors such as community policing or infrastructure may mitigate certain risks. Winslow’s position as a built-up area within Buckinghamshire—serving as a commuter hub or retail centre—could explain the balance between property and violent crimes. The data highlights the need for residents to remain vigilant during peak shopping periods and to utilise local initiatives that address the specific risks of theft and violence.

November 2025 saw a dramatic 275% rise in 'other theft' cases, jumping from 4 to 15 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 250% increase in violence and sexual offences—rising from 6 to 21—points to a significant shift in crime dynamics. While property crimes remained balanced with violent crimes (21 each), the UK average for violence and sexual offences was 2.6 per 1,000, meaning Winslow’s rate of 4.0 per 1,000 is 56% higher. This disparity suggests local factors, such as increased foot traffic during Black Friday sales or the impact of dark evenings on visibility, may partly explain the rise. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 50%, aligning with a UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. For residents, the 275% increase in thefts is a stark reminder to secure valuables, particularly in high-traffic areas. The data also reveals a 62% drop in anti-social behaviour compared to the UK average, though this may reflect underreporting or improved community engagement efforts.

Winslow's crime rate in November 2025 rose sharply to 8.7 per 1,000 residents, a 70.6% increase from the previous month’s rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This surge translates to roughly two crimes reported per day, a figure that, while localised, underscores the need for vigilance in daily life. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 115 residents—a statistic that, when considered against the area’s population of 5,290, highlights the tangible impact of crime on individual risk. The population context further illustrates this: with 46 total crimes recorded, the rate per capita places Winslow above the UK average, though this section focuses solely on local comparisons. The shift in crime patterns, particularly the spike in violent offences and theft-related crimes, contrasts with declines in drug-related incidents and anti-social behaviour. These fluctuations suggest a dynamic interplay between seasonal factors and local conditions, even as the monthly exposure figure remains a critical lens for residents assessing their personal risk.
