Woburn Sands Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Woburn Sands recorded a crime rate of 2.2 per 1,000 residents in June 2025, placing it 72.8% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast highlights the area’s generally low crime environment, though the breakdown of incidents reveals a mix of patterns. Violent crimes, the most common category, accounted for 61.5% of total crimes, with 8 incidents reported. This figure, while significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, suggests a need for further analysis of local factors that may influence such incidents, such as the area’s suburban character or seasonal dynamics. Other crime followed with 15.4% of total incidents, though this category is 87% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and the beginning of increased tourism in surrounding areas—may contribute to fluctuations in crime types. Shoplifting, anti-social behaviour, and criminal damage each accounted for 7.7% of total crimes, all of which are significantly below UK averages. This pattern, combined with the overall low rate, suggests that Woburn Sands’ crime profile is shaped by its relatively small population, suburban setting, and lower levels of commercial or nightlife activity compared to larger urban centres. The low crime rate, however, remains consistent with broader trends observed in similar built-up areas within Milton Keynes, where community-focused policing and limited industrial activity may play a role in maintaining public safety.

June 2025 saw a significant shift in Woburn Sands’ crime profile, with violent crimes increasing by 33.3% to 8 reported incidents—accounting for 61.5% of total crimes. This rise, though not extreme in absolute terms, marks a notable departure from earlier trends and may reflect seasonal factors, such as the start of summer and the potential influx of visitors. Other crime also saw a dramatic 100% increase, rising from 0 to 2 incidents, a category that is 87% above the UK average of 0.2 per 1,000. This anomaly could suggest a temporary spike in unclassified or emerging types of crime. Anti-social behaviour also doubled, from 0 to 1 incident, a category that is 86% below the UK average. Meanwhile, violent crimes in Woburn Sands remain 55% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, illustrating a persistent contrast between local and national trends. For residents, the most immediate insight is the doubling of other crime, which, while rare, underscores the need for continued awareness of unusual or non-traditional criminal activity.

The crime rate in Woburn Sands for June 2025 rose by 44.3% compared to the previous month, climbing from 1.5 to 2.2 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest in absolute terms, reflects a shift in the crime profile, with violent crimes surging by 33.3% and other crime doubling. Daily crime statistics show that, on average, no crimes occurred per day in June—a figure that underscores the area’s generally low crime environment. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 464 residents, a rate that, while statistically rare, may prompt local residents to remain vigilant. When scaled to the area’s population of 6,035, this translates to a monthly exposure that is significantly lower than the UK average, which sits at 8.1 per 1,000. The population context further highlights how Woburn Sands’ small size and possibly its suburban or semi-rural character contribute to its distinct crime dynamics, where even minor fluctuations can appear more pronounced in relative terms.
