Slough Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Slough’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.5% above the UK average of 8.1. While the overall rate remained stable compared to the previous month, the crime profile revealed significant shifts in specific categories. Violence and sexual offences dominated the landscape, accounting for 41.2% of all reported crimes, a rate of 3.4 per 1,000 residents—19% above the UK average. This aligns with Slough’s character as a densely populated town with a mix of urban and suburban areas, where high foot traffic and public spaces may contribute to higher rates of violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour, though still a notable category at 9.7% of total crimes, showed a marked decline, with a 22.1% reduction from May to June, suggesting early success in local efforts to address disorder. Meanwhile, vehicle crime remained elevated at 0.7 per 1,000, 89% above the UK average, consistent with Slough’s status as a commuter hub with extensive road networks and parking facilities. Seasonal factors in June—longer daylight hours and the start of summer—may have influenced patterns, with increased outdoor activity correlating with higher vehicle-related crimes and lower anti-social behaviour due to improved community engagement. The data also highlights Slough’s unique position in the UK crime profile, where property crimes (510 incidents) and violent crimes (571 incidents) were nearly balanced, contrasting with regions where property crime typically dominates.

June 2025 saw notable fluctuations in Slough’s crime mix, with some categories showing sharp declines while others rose. Anti-social behaviour fell by 22.1% compared to May, a decrease that may reflect the impact of targeted local initiatives or seasonal factors such as warmer weather encouraging outdoor activity rather than disorderly conduct. Burglary also dropped by 32.6%, from 46 to 31 incidents, a significant reduction that could be attributed to improved home security awareness or police presence. Conversely, bicycle theft surged by 53.3%, rising from 15 to 23 incidents, a trend likely linked to the start of summer and increased cycling for recreation or commuting. Shoplifting increased by 27.5%, with 102 incidents reported, driven by higher foot traffic in retail areas during the warmer months. These shifts underscore the combination of seasonal activity and crime patterns in Slough, where urban infrastructure and population density create both challenges and opportunities for law enforcement. Slough’s rate of violence and sexual offences (3.4 per 1,000) remains 19% above the UK average, a persistent challenge that may require sustained community engagement and resource allocation.

Slough’s crime rate in June 2025 was 8.3 per 1,000 residents, a slight decrease from the previous month’s rate of 8.4—a stable trend that suggests no major shifts in overall crime levels. On a daily basis, the town experienced an average of 46 crimes per day, a figure that provides context for residents seeking to understand the frequency of incidents in their local area. When scaled to the population, this equates to one reported crime for every 121 residents over the course of June, a monthly aggregate that highlights the relative proportion of the population affected. While this rate is marginally higher than the UK average, the breakdown of specific crime types reveals both strengths and vulnerabilities in Slough’s security profile. For instance, anti-social behaviour and burglary are both significantly below UK averages, indicating effective local measures in those areas. However, the elevated rates of vehicle crime and violence underscore the need for targeted interventions. These comparisons are particularly meaningful for residents, who can use them to benchmark Slough’s performance against national trends and identify where local efforts are succeeding or require further attention.
