Egham Crime Rate March 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Egham’s crime profile in March 2023 was dominated by violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 25.6% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 15.0% and criminal damage and arson at 10.9%. These figures highlight the significant role of interpersonal and property-related incidents in shaping the local crime profile. The area’s overall crime rate of 10.0 per 1,000 residents places it 31.6% above the UK average, a disparity that is particularly pronounced in categories such as vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour. The transition to spring in March likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which may have influenced the prevalence of public order offences and anti-social behaviour. However, the lower rate of burglary compared to the UK average suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or property security measures, may be playing a role in reducing home-related crime. The seasonal context of March—marked by longer evenings and the shift in daylight hours—could also have impacted the timing and nature of reported incidents, with evening hours seeing higher levels of social interaction and associated risks. This month’s data underscores the combination of environmental, demographic, and seasonal factors in shaping crime patterns in Egham.

March 2023 saw a notable shift in the crime mix, with property crimes accounting for 44% of all reported incidents and violent crimes for 26%. This distribution reflects a higher proportion of property-related offences compared to the UK average, where violent crimes typically make up a larger share. Vehicle crime, at 1.0 per 1,000 residents, was 108% above the UK average, likely influenced by the area’s commuter traffic and proximity to major transport links. Anti-social behaviour, another significant category, was 44% above the UK average, a figure that may be connected to the area’s built-up nature and the density of its population. Meanwhile, burglary rates in Egham were 39% below the UK average, suggesting that local security measures or demographic factors may be contributing to this lower incidence of home-related crime. These variations underscore the need for tailored approaches to crime prevention that consider the specific characteristics of Egham’s community.

Daily crime figures for Egham reveal an average of nine crimes reported each day in March, a figure that reflects the built-up nature of the area and its proximity to commuter routes.
