Bagshot Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Bagshot, the crime rate of 7.0 per 1,000 in June 2024 translates to a tangible but manageable risk. With 43 crimes reported across a population of 6,159, the rate is 14.6% below the UK average of 8.2, indicating a safer environment compared to national trends. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (41.9% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (16.3%) and other theft (11.6%). This distribution suggests a mixed profile of local challenges, with interpersonal crime dominating over property-related offences. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the start of summer — a period often associated with increased outdoor activity, tourism, and social gatherings. While the built-up area's proximity to Surrey Heath's commuter routes might typically drive vehicle crime, this month saw a notable 75% decrease, due to reduced traffic congestion or seasonal shifts in criminal opportunity. The relatively low rate of anti-social behaviour (1.1 per 1,000) and public order offences (0.2 per 1,000) indicates a community that may be effectively managing local disturbances, though the spike in possession of weapons (0.2 per 1,000) raises questions about isolated incidents or temporary disruptions. Bagshot's crime picture is shaped by its character as a suburban built-up area within Surrey, where the balance between residential stability and occasional spikes in specific offences reflects the complexities of urban living in a regional context.

June 2024 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with possession of weapons and bicycle theft both rising by 100% from zero to one incident each — an unusual spike that may reflect isolated incidents rather than a trend. Other theft increased by 66.7%, from three to five cases, potentially linked to seasonal shopping activity or heightened opportunities in retail areas. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped sharply by 75% (from eight to two incidents), due to reduced parking congestion or increased community vigilance. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 36.4% (from 11 to seven cases), suggesting a temporary reduction in disturbances. Bagshot's violent crime rate (2.9 per 1,000) is 5% above the UK average for this category, highlighting a localised concentration of violence and sexual offences that outpaces national trends despite the overall lower crime rate.

Bagshot's crime rate in June 2024 dropped by 24.5% compared to May's 9.3 per 1,000, now standing at 7.0 per 1,000 — a figure 14.6% below the UK average. On a daily basis, this equates to roughly one crime reported per day across the built-up area, reflecting a consistent but low-level presence of criminal activity. When scaled to the local population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 143 residents, a statistic that contextualises risk in terms of personal likelihood rather than absolute numbers. This rate contrasts with the UK average, where residents face a higher frequency of crime per capita, though Bagshot's specific profile shows variations in crime type distribution. The decrease in vehicle crime (down 75%) and public order offences (down 80%) suggests shifts in criminal activity patterns, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as increased daylight hours or changes in community engagement during the summer months.
