Crime Risk Scores
Thames Valley Police • 12 Months Ending April 2026
The typical five-minute walk within Thames Valley Police has a crime risk score of 417. This is based on analysis of 122,917 nearby areas within Thames Valley Police, with "most" referring to roughly two thirds of the nearby locations.
Crime risk scores are on a scale of 1 to 1,000 and consider the severity of the crimes involved, as determined by sentencing guidelines. A score of 1 represents the lowest risk, and 1,000 the highest risk. This approach ensures that - unlike overall crime rate figures - bicycle theft is not given the same importance in Thames Valley Police's risk scores as, for example, robbery, or violence & sexual offences.
Within a five-minute walk of the typical location in Thames Valley Police, crime risk scores are typically around 417, while in National they are average 500.
Areas within a ten-minute walk typically see crime risk scores of 414 (500 for National), and scores within a fifteen-minute walk are most often around 418 (National 500).
