The question of what the specific violence and sexual offence crime statistics are for Windlesham is one that many residents understandably want answered. Based on available data for the Built-up Area (BUA) of Windlesham, situated within the Surrey Heath borough, the overall crime rate is notably low. The crime rate stands at 27.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is considerably lower than the UK average, which sits at 91.6 incidents per 1,000 people.
It’s important to note that this figure represents the total crime rate, encompassing all categories of offences, not solely violence and sexual offences. Specific data relating only to violence and sexual offences is not readily available in this aggregated format. However, the low overall crime rate strongly suggests that the prevalence of violence and sexual offences is also likely to be lower than the national average.
Further supporting Windlesham's reputation for safety is its safety score of 94 out of 100. This score is significantly higher than the UK average of 79, indicating a perceived level of safety among residents. A population of 4239 contributes to this overall picture.
While the data paints a reassuring picture, it is crucial to remember that crime statistics are dynamic and can fluctuate. Understanding the context behind these numbers is key. A low crime rate doesn't imply the absence of crime; it indicates a lower incidence compared to other areas. Residents are still encouraged to remain aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. Surrey Police provides resources and advice for crime prevention which can be accessed through their official website.
