Ashingdon Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominated Ashingdon’s crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 30.8% of all reported incidents—4 cases in total. This category, at 0.6 per 1,000 residents, remains 79% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, highlighting the area’s relative safety. The overall crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 residents is 75.3% lower than the UK average of 8.1, a stark contrast that reflects the built-up area’s low-crime environment. Criminal damage and arson, the second most common category, saw a 23.1% share of total crimes, but this rate of 0.5 per 1,000 is still 14% below the UK average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—likely contributes to the low overall crime rate, as increased foot traffic and tourism in nearby areas may deter criminal activity. However, the rise in vehicle crime, burglary, and possession of weapons suggests emerging trends that could be influenced by local factors such as increased vehicle presence or shifts in community dynamics. These patterns, while minor, warrant monitoring as part of the area’s ongoing crime management.

Residents may find the 100% increase in vehicle crime particularly noteworthy, as it signals a potential shift in local criminal activity that could warrant further attention.

Ashingdon’s crime rate in June 2025 rose by 8.5% compared to May 2025, moving from 1.9 to 2.0 per 1,000 residents. This slight increase, however, remains far below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000.

This contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing and the community’s low crime profile, even as small fluctuations occur.
