The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter and springtime activity—likely contributed to shifts in crime patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially impacting property crimes.

This anomaly, coupled with the decline in anti-social behaviour, illustrates the combination of seasonal and geographic influences on crime in Maidenhead.
