Tadley Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, Tadley recorded 49 crimes across a population of 14,332 residents, translating to a crime rate of 3.4 per 1,000 people. This rate is 51.4% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower crime profile compared to national trends. The most common crime types were violence and sexual offences (34.7% of total), anti-social behaviour (18.4%), and vehicle crime (8.2%). These patterns align with Tadley's character as a built-up area within Basingstoke and Deane, where urban density and community policing likely contribute to its comparatively low crime levels. The seasonal context of December—marked by Christmas shopping, party season, and extended periods of darkness—may have influenced crime dynamics. For instance, the rise in vehicle crime could be linked to increased traffic and parking activity during the festive period, while the decline in violence and sexual offences might correlate with reduced public congregation in the evenings. Despite these seasonal fluctuations, Tadley's crime rates remain significantly below national averages, particularly for violent crime categories. The area's relatively low levels of anti-social behaviour and property crime further highlight its distinct profile compared to other UK regions. This data underscores the importance of considering both local context and national comparisons when assessing crime trends, ensuring that insights are grounded in both geographic and demographic realities.

December 2025 saw notable shifts in Tadley's crime profile. Vehicle crime increased by 100% compared to November, rising from 2 to 4 incidents. This jump may partly reflect the festive season's impact on vehicle security, as shopping trips and holiday travel intensify. Conversely, violence and sexual offences decreased by 15%, falling from 20 to 17 cases—a trend that could align with seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and community events reducing public congregation. Other crime and other theft both doubled from November, highlighting a potential underreported issue in the area. These increases contrast with a 50% drop in robbery, suggesting a combination of local dynamics and seasonal influences. Violence and sexual offences in Tadley remain 53% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 35% below the national figure, illustrating the area's relatively stable social environment despite the festive season's challenges.

Tadley's crime rate in December 2025 rose by 14% compared to November, moving from 3.0 to 3.4 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though modest, reflects a shift in crime patterns during the festive season. Over the 31 days of December, 49 crimes were recorded—roughly 2 crimes per day. This daily figure translates to a local context where, over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 292 residents. Given Tadley's population of 14,332, the 49 total crimes represent a relatively low proportion of the community, with crime rates remaining 51.4% below the UK average. The population-scaled perspective underscores the area's comparative safety, even as seasonal factors like dark evenings and holiday-related activity may temporarily influence crime dynamics. Local conditions, such as the built-up nature of Tadley within Basingstoke and Deane, likely contribute to a crime profile that balances urban exposure with community-focused policing efforts.
