Tadley Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tadley's crime rate for October 2025 remained exceptionally low, at 3.0 per 1,000 residents—61% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, though modest, reflects a persistent trend of lower-than-national crime levels, likely influenced by the area's character as a relatively quiet built-up area within Basingstoke and Deane. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.5% of all incidents, though this rate was 55% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 20.9% of reported crimes, while public order offences contributed 9.3%. These patterns align with the area's likely mix of residential and low-density commercial activity, which may reduce opportunities for more severe crimes but still leave room for interpersonal disputes. October's seasonal context—shorter days, the clocks going back, and Halloween—may have influenced the crime mix, with increased evening activity contributing to anti-social behaviour. However, the sharp decline in shoplifting and criminal damage compared to the previous month suggests that targeted interventions or seasonal lulls could be at play. While Tadley's overall safety remains strong, the increase in anti-social behaviour highlights a specific concern for residents, particularly in areas with higher community interaction or event-driven activity. The data underscores the need for continued vigilance and community engagement to address emerging issues without compromising the area's overall low crime profile.

October 2025 saw a significant surge in anti-social behaviour, with incidents rising by 125% from 4 to 9. This spike, though still below the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000, warrants attention, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or community events. Conversely, shoplifting and criminal damage both fell sharply—shoplifting dropped by two-thirds from 9 to 3, while criminal damage and arson decreased by 66.7% from 6 to 2. These declines may reflect seasonal factors, such as Halloween-related activity reducing opportunities for theft or increased patrols in public spaces. Bicycle theft and other crime both rose by 100% from zero to one incident, a rare occurrence that could signal emerging patterns or isolated incidents requiring further monitoring. The breakdown also shows violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, accounting for 39.5% of all crimes, though still 55% below the UK average. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, especially in areas experiencing the anti-social behaviour increase.

Tadley's crime rate for October 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 4.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 3.1. This slight decline contrasts with the overall UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting Tadley's consistently lower crime profile. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 333 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Tadley compared to national benchmarks. While the area's population of 14,332 means individual risk remains minimal, the data suggests that localised factors—such as community engagement and infrastructure—likely contribute to this sustained safety record. The comparison to the UK average reinforces that Tadley's crime picture remains distinct, with fewer incidents of property crime and violent offences than the national trend.
