Tadley Crime Rate May 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tadley's crime profile in May 2024 reveals a consistently low level of criminal activity compared to the UK average. With a crime rate of 2.4 per 1,000 residents, the area is 71.4% below the national figure of 8.4 per 1,000, highlighting its relative safety. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 51.4% of all incidents.3 per 1,000 remains 54% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences followed, contributing 14.3% each to the total crime count, with both categories significantly below the national benchmarks. The seasonal context of May, characterised by bank holidays and extended evenings, likely influenced the crime pattern, as increased socialising and outdoor activity may have contributed to a temporary spike in theft from the person. However, the overall trend suggests a stable environment, with no major disruptions to public safety. The low levels of property crime, particularly vehicle crime and theft from the person, indicate that Tadley's built-up area within Basingstoke and Deane may benefit from effective community policing or a generally cautious population. While the 100% increase in theft from the person raises questions about specific vulnerabilities, the broader picture remains one of low crime and relative security for residents.

The most striking shift in May 2024 was the 100% increase in theft from the person, with one incident reported after none in April. This spike, though small in absolute terms, suggests a potential vulnerability in personal safety during the month's extended evenings and social gatherings. Conversely, other theft decreased by 60%, from five to two incidents, and other crime fell by 50%, from two to one. These reductions may reflect seasonal factors, such as fewer public events or changes in community activity. Violence and sexual offences remained the dominant category, accounting for 51.4% of all crimes.3 per 1,000 is 54% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and public order offences also fell significantly, with the latter dropping by 44.4% from nine to five incidents. For residents, the 100% increase in theft from the person underscores the importance of vigilance during late-night socialising, a common activity in Tadley's built-up area during May's longer evenings.

Tadley's crime rate in May 2024 stood at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a 36.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.8 per 1,000. This decline places the area significantly below the UK average of 8.4 per 1,000, with Tadley's rate being 71.4% lower than the national figure. Over the course of May, the average resident faced a 1-in-409 chance of being directly affected by crime, a statistic that contextualises the monthly exposure in human terms. Daily crime data shows an average of one reported incident per day in Tadley, a figure that, while low, highlights the consistency of crime reporting in the area. When compared to the population of 14,332, the 35 total crimes recorded represent a manageable level of risk, though local residents may still find the presence of any crime unsettling. The reduction in crime from April to May aligns with seasonal patterns, as longer evenings and increased socialising during May's bank holidays may have contributed to a temporary dip in incidents.
