Tadley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tadley's September 2025 crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents stands at 58.1% below the UK average of 7.4, reflecting a consistently low crime environment. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.8% of all incidents, followed by shoplifting (20%) and criminal damage and arson (13.3%). These figures suggest a mix of interpersonal and property-related crime, though the area's violent crime rate remains lower than the UK average. Seasonal factors, such as the return to school and university freshers' week, may have influenced the crime profile, with increased foot traffic in local areas potentially contributing to shoplifting incidents. However, the significant drop in violence and sexual offences compared to August indicates that community-focused initiatives or seasonal changes may have played a role in reducing such crimes. The overall crime profile aligns with Tadley's character as a built-up area within Basingstoke and Deane, where residential stability and lower population density likely contribute to the area's safety. While property crimes remain a concern, their frequency is well below national levels, suggesting effective local policing or community engagement. The data also highlights the importance of monitoring emerging trends, such as the small but notable increases in robbery and drug-related offences, which may require targeted attention as the year progresses.

September 2025 saw a sharp 57.5% decrease in violence and sexual offences, dropping from 40 incidents in August to 17. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as the start of the academic year may have reduced opportunities for such crimes in a predominantly residential area. Conversely, robbery, drugs, and other theft all increased by 100% compared to August, with each category moving from zero to one or three incidents. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, highlight emerging risks that warrant local awareness. The area's violent crime rate (1.2 per 1,000) is 53% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, while shoplifting (0.6 per 1,000) is just 2% below the UK average. This contrast underscores Tadley's unique crime profile, where property-related offences are relatively balanced with national trends, but violent crime remains significantly lower.

Tadley's crime rate for September 2025 (3.1 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 9.8% increase compared to August's 2.9 per 1,000.1% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure consistent with previous months. Over the course of September, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 318 residents, underscoring the relatively low exposure to crime in this built-up area. When scaled to Tadley's population of 14,332, this translates to a manageable frequency of incidents. The increase from August, while notable, does not signal a significant shift in the overall safety profile, as the area continues to perform well against national benchmarks. Local factors, such as seasonal transitions and back-to-school activity, may have contributed to the slight uptick, but the broader trend remains one of sustained low crime.
