Winslow Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Winslow's crime rate in September 2025 stands at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 33.8% below the UK average of 7.4. This performance underscores the area's relatively low crime profile, which may be influenced by its character as a built-up area within Buckinghamshire, likely featuring a mix of residential and commercial zones. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 38.5% of all reported incidents (10 cases), followed by drugs (15.4%) and other theft (15.4%). These figures suggest a combination of local demographics and crime patterns. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return to school and university term starts—may contribute to the observed decrease in anti-social behaviour, as structured routines often temper disruptive activities. However, the sharp rise in drug-related offences, which are 208% above the UK average, indicates a specific challenge requiring further attention. The overall crime rate's proximity to the UK average in certain categories, such as shoplifting (34% below the UK average), suggests that Winslow's policing strategies and community engagement efforts may be effectively addressing some crime types. These trends, when viewed through the lens of the area's seasonal rhythms and demographic makeup, paint a nuanced picture of a community grappling with both persistent and emerging crime challenges.

September 2025 saw a 300% increase in 'other theft' cases, rising from 1 to 4 incidents. This jump, coupled with a 100% rise in drug-related offences (from 0 to 4), highlights emerging trends in Winslow. Drug offences in the area are 208% above the UK average, a stark contrast to the 66% reduction in anti-social behaviour (from 5 to 2 cases). The decrease in violence and sexual offences (-16.7%) aligns with the seasonal transition of September, as university freshers and back-to-school routines may contribute to more structured environments. The sharp rise in drug offences, however, raises questions about local factors influencing this category.

Winslow's crime rate in September 2025 (4.9 per 1,000 residents) represents a 3.7% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This slight decline aligns with the seasonal rhythm of September, as school and university term starts typically see a temporary reduction in antisocial behaviour linked to structured routines. Locally, the daily crime count averages 1 incident per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 5,290 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 203 residents—a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents against the community's size. When compared to the UK average, Winslow's rate remains lower, suggesting effective local policing or community factors that suppress crime from this data alone.
