Eynsham Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Eynsham’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 5.7 per 1,000 residents, placing it 29.6% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This figure, while showing a 36.9% increase from May, remains a testament to the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to national standards. The breakdown of crimes revealed that violence and sexual offences accounted for 46% of all reported incidents (17 cases), followed by public order offences (18.9%, 7 cases) and anti-social behaviour (13.5%, 5 cases). The dominance of violent crimes aligns with Eynsham’s position as a small built-up area within West Oxfordshire, where community dynamics and local events may influence such patterns. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to the increased visibility of public order issues and violence, though no direct causal link can be confirmed. The area’s anti-social behaviour rate (0.8 per 1,000) is 44% below the UK average, reflecting a potential effectiveness of local policing or community engagement initiatives. Meanwhile, shoplifting in Eynsham is 68% below the UK average, suggesting either strong retail security measures or a lower retail presence in the area. These patterns, combined with the overall crime rate, illustrate a combination of local factors and national trends, with Eynsham maintaining a distinct position in the broader UK crime profile.

June 2025 saw significant fluctuations in Eynsham’s crime profile. Violent and sexual offences surged by 142.9%, jumping from 7 to 17 cases, a shift that may partly explain the overall rise in the crime rate. Public order offences also spiked dramatically, increasing by 250% (from 2 to 7 cases), suggesting heightened tensions or activity in communal spaces. Conversely, drug-related crimes fell by 50%, and criminal damage and arson cases dropped by 50%, possibly due to seasonal factors or local interventions. The area’s violent crime rate (2.6 per 1,000) is 9% below the UK average, while public order offences (1.1 per 1,000) are 86% above the national rate. This stark contrast highlights the need for targeted approaches to address specific local issues. Residents might find the 68% shortfall in shoplifting compared to the UK average particularly relevant, indicating a possible focus on broader security measures rather than retail-specific crime.

Eynsham’s crime rate in June 2025 rose to 5.7 per 1,000 residents, marking a 36.9% increase from the previous month’s 4.2 per 1,000. This rise, while notable, remains well below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 175 residents, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents in a community of 6,475 people. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime per day, a rate that, while consistent with historical patterns, may reflect seasonal factors such as the start of summer and increased foot traffic in local areas. The population-scaled perspective highlights that even with the increase, Eynsham remains significantly safer than the UK average, with violent crimes (17 cases) and public order offences (7 cases) forming the bulk of reported incidents. This contrast with national trends underscores the area’s unique characteristics, possibly shaped by its relatively small size and lower population density compared to larger urban centres.
