Arborfield Garrison Crime Timing Patterns

Even in a low-crime area like Arborfield Garrison, temporal patterns are evident. During the morning and afternoon, theft is the primary concern, accounting for 36% and 41% of incidents respectively. This suggests that opportunistic theft is most likely to occur during the day when the community is active or when residents are away.

As night falls, the risk profile changes. Burglary, which accounts for 16% of morning crimes, rises to 30% in the afternoon and remains high at 25% in the evening. Night-time (12am to 6am) sees a major shift toward vehicle crime, which jumps to 55% of all reported offences during this period. This indicates that while the overall risk is very low, the hours of darkness are when vehicles are most vulnerable. Residents are advised to ensure all property is securely locked and that any security lighting is functional to deter late-night opportunistic activity. The peaceful nature of the Garrison is best protected by maintaining these simple nocturnal safety habits.
