Tadley Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tadley's crime profile in July 2023 exhibited a distinct balance between property and violent crime, with 23 property offences reported against 19 violent crimes. This equilibrium contrasts with the UK average, where violent crime typically constitutes a larger share of total reported incidents. The area's overall crime rate of 4.3 per 1,000 residents placed it 48.2% below the national average, a significant disparity that reflects Tadley's character as a relatively low-risk environment. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 30.7% of all reported incidents, though this rate remained 53% below the UK average. Public order offences, which surged by 175% month-on-month, accounted for 17.7% of total crimes, suggesting a potential link to the summer season's increased social activity. The seasonal context of July—marked by school holidays, tourism peaks, and community events—may have contributed to this shift. Criminal damage and arson, at 14.5% of total crimes, and vehicle crime, at 9.7%, both fell below UK averages, reinforcing the area's generally low crime profile. These patterns align with Tadley's built-up area status within Basingstoke and Deane, where community-focused policing and a mix of residential and commercial land use likely contribute to the relatively stable crime environment.

July 2023 marked a sharp rise in public order offences, which surged by 175% compared to the previous month, jumping from four to 11 incidents. This increase, coupled with a 100% rise in both bicycle theft and other theft, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns during the summer months. While anti-social behaviour incidents fell by 55.6%, the overall balance between property and violent crime remained closely aligned, with 23 property crimes reported against 19 violent offences. Tadley's violent crime rate of 1.3 per 1,000 residents was 53% below the UK average, underscoring the area's relatively safe environment for residents. The increase in public order offences may reflect the impact of summer festivals and outdoor events, which are common in this part of Hampshire during the warmer months.

Tadley's crime rate remained stable in July 2023 at 4.3 per 1,000 residents, matching the rate recorded in the previous month. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two reported crimes per day, a figure that aligns with the low overall rate. When scaled to the population of 14,332, this translates to one crime occurring for roughly every 231 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure appears relatively low, such statistics reflect aggregate trends rather than individual risk. The population context further illustrates that Tadley's crime profile remains well below national averages, with specific categories like anti-social behaviour and other theft showing marked underperformance compared to UK benchmarks. These figures provide residents with a clear benchmark for understanding their local safety context in relation to both regional and national trends.
