Windsor and Maidenhead Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 158,943, the 987 crimes reported in June 2025 equate to one in every 161 residents over the course of the month, a figure that illustrates the manageable scale of incidents in this mixed urban-rural district. The overall crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents places Windsor and Maidenhead 23.5% below the UK average of 8.1, a disparity that reflects the area’s relatively low levels of property crime and violent incidents compared to more densely populated regions. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 41.3% of all reported incidents, while anti-social behaviour (12.8%) and public order offences (9.1%) followed closely. These patterns align with the area’s character as a historic town with a strong tourist presence and suburban communities, where public spaces and social events may contribute to higher rates of interpersonal crime. The seasonal context of June, marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours, may also explain the increase in violent crime compared to the previous month, as well as the potential rise in theft from the person during extended evening activities. However, the area’s consistently low rates of burglary, shoplifting, and vehicle crime compared to the UK average suggest effective local policing strategies and community-focused initiatives that mitigate risks in residential and commercial zones.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, including a 50% rise in possession of weapons, likely tied to increased outdoor activity during longer daylight hours. Other thefts surged by 40%, potentially reflecting seasonal retail activity or unsecured property during summer holidays. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 31.1%, possibly due to reduced commuter traffic or enhanced parking security measures. Violence and sexual offences remained 9% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour was 44% lower, suggesting effective community engagement strategies. The 35.7% increase in theft from the person, however, signals a growing concern for personal safety in public spaces, a trend warranting closer attention from local authorities and residents alike.

In June 2025, Windsor and Maidenhead recorded a crime rate of 6.2 per 1,000 residents, a 10.1% increase from the previous month’s 5.6. This translates to approximately 33 crimes reported daily, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents in a localised timeframe. Over the course of the month, 1 crime was reported for every 161 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure figure, while modest, reflects a sustained trend of lower-than-average crime levels in the area, consistent with its status as a mixed urban-rural district with strong community engagement and policing presence. The rise in violent crime compared to May 2025, however, highlights the need for targeted interventions during peak social activity periods, such as summer weekends and tourist influxes.
