Monthly police figures show there have been about 600 fewer crimes in Oxfordshire in the past three months compared to the same period last year.
Between April 1 and June 30, there were 12,100 crimes reported across the county, a drop of five per cent compared to the same three months last year.
The decrease includes wounding with intent, car crime and possession of cannabis.
However, there has been a rise in sexual offences and acquisitive crime such as robbery and burglary.
The total amount of crimes solved by police has fallen from 27.5 per cent to 23 per cent.
