Slough Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Slough's crime rate in June 2025 was 8.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.5% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This rate, though slightly higher than the national figure, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal dynamics. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 41.2% of all crimes reported in the month. This category's rate of 3.4 per 1,000 is 19% above the UK average, underscoring a particular challenge for local authorities in managing violent crime. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common category, saw a rate of 0.8 per 1,000, 44% below the UK average, suggesting effective community policing or engagement strategies in this area. Vehicle crime, at 0.7 per 1,000, was 89% above the UK average, likely linked to Slough's role as a commuter town with high traffic volumes and potential vulnerabilities in vehicle security. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the beginning of summer, may have influenced patterns of activity, potentially increasing opportunities for certain crimes while also allowing for more public visibility and policing in open spaces. This data provides a nuanced picture of Slough's crime profile, highlighting both areas of concern and potential success in mitigating specific types of incidents.

June 2025 saw notable reductions in several crime categories, with anti-social behaviour declining by 22.1% (from 172 to 134 incidents) and burglary dropping by 32.6% (from 46 to 31 cases). These decreases may partly explain the overall stability in the crime rate despite seasonal factors. Meanwhile, bicycle theft surged by 53.3% (15 to 23 cases), a sharp increase that could be linked to the start of summer, when cycling activity typically rises. Shoplifting also rose by 27.5% (from 80 to 102 incidents), reflecting increased retail footfall as tourism and local shopping habits shift with the season. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 41.2% of all crimes, significantly above the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This contrast with the UK's lower rate for this category highlights Slough's unique challenges in managing violent crime, which may be influenced by its urban character and population density.

Slough's crime rate in June 2025 remained stable at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, a 1.4% decrease from May's 8.4 per 1,000. This suggests a consistent pattern of activity despite seasonal shifts. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 46 crimes per day, reflecting the density of population and infrastructure in Slough. When considering the monthly exposure, one crime occurred for every 121 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population. While this rate is slightly above the UK average, the stability between months indicates that local policing efforts and community initiatives may be effectively maintaining crime levels. The daily figure, though high, is a localised metric and does not directly compare to national averages, which are not available in daily form. This data offers a snapshot of the area's ongoing challenges and the need for sustained attention to crime prevention strategies.
