Old Windsor and Wraysbury Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Old Windsor and Wraysbury, the crime rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents in June 2023 translates to a daily risk of less than 1 in 1,000—a figure that likely feels even more remote given the area’s consistently low crime profile. This rate, 57.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, reflects the built-up area’s character as a relatively tranquil environment. The most common crime type, violence and sexual offences (38.5% of total incidents), occurred at a rate of 1.4 per 1,000, significantly below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This may partly stem from the area’s proximity to Windsor, a historic town with a strong community presence that could deter certain types of crime. Anti-social behaviour followed with 19.2% of incidents.7 per 1,000 remains 53% below the UK average, suggesting effective local management of nuisance issues. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—may also influence these patterns, with longer daylight hours reducing opportunities for certain crimes while increasing foot traffic in public spaces, which could contribute to the rise in anti-social behaviour. Overall, the data illustrates a balance between low-risk environments and the need for targeted responses to specific incidents.

June 2023 marked a stark contrast in crime trends, with anti-social behaviour surging by 400% (from 1 to 5 incidents) and public order offences doubling (from 1 to 3). These spikes, while notable, were offset by a 71.4% decline in vehicle crime (from 7 to 2), likely reflecting reduced traffic during the summer months. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 28.6%.4 per 1,000 remains 52% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This category’s decline may partly explain the overall rate’s drop. Anti-social behaviour, now at 0.7 per 1,000, is 53% below the UK average of 1.5 per 1,000, suggesting that local initiatives or seasonal factors—such as increased community engagement during longer daylight hours—may play a role. For residents, the 400% increase in anti-social behaviour, though small in absolute terms, highlights the need for vigilance in public spaces during the summer.

June 2023 saw an 18.7% decline in the crime rate compared to May, with the area’s rate dropping from 4.4 to 3.6 per 1,000 residents. This reduction aligns with the seasonal shift into summer, a period typically associated with lower crime rates in similar built-up areas. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in June, a figure that translates to a low-frequency exposure for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 278 residents, underscoring the relatively low risk profile compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure figure, while modest, reflects the area’s consistent performance in maintaining safety, particularly in contrast to larger urban centres where crime rates are often higher. The population-scaled perspective further highlights that even with the 10 violent crimes recorded, the rate remains significantly below national benchmarks, suggesting that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may contribute to this sustained safety record.
