Tetbury Crime Rate April 2024 | Monthly Statistics

In April 2024, Tetbury recorded 34 crimes across a population of 6,880 residents, translating to a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 people—36.4% below the UK average of 7.7. This figure highlights the area's relatively low exposure to crime, particularly when compared to national benchmarks. The breakdown of offences reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 47.1% of the total, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.8%) and other theft (11.8%). These patterns align with the built-up area's characteristics, where community-focused policing and a strong sense of local identity may contribute to lower violent crime rates. Seasonal factors in April, including the Easter period and increased outdoor activity during spring, likely influenced the distribution of crimes. For instance, the rise in violent offences may be partially explained by the influx of visitors and the associated social interactions typical of the Easter holidays. Meanwhile, the low incidence of property crimes—only 9 reported—suggests effective security measures and a generally cautious community attitude. Anti-social behaviour, though a notable category, remains significantly below the UK average, reflecting the area's emphasis on maintaining public order. The overall data underscores Tetbury's position as a safer-than-average community, with crime rates shaped by both local efforts and seasonal rhythms.

April 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns within Tetbury, with other theft increasing by 300% compared to the previous month, rising from one to four incidents. This sharp rise may reflect heightened outdoor activity during the Easter period or increased foot traffic in retail areas. Burglary also saw a 100% increase, moving from zero to one incident. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50%, likely tied to the structured nature of Easter events reducing disruptive behaviour. Violent crimes, which accounted for 47.1% of the total, remained 10% below the UK average for this category, suggesting local factors—such as the area's rural character and community cohesion—may contribute to lower levels of violence. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 42.9%, linked to seasonal events fostering more controlled public spaces. These fluctuations underscore the dynamic interplay between local events and crime trends, offering insights for residents and authorities alike.

Tetbury's crime rate in April 2024 rose slightly to 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a 2.9% increase from the previous month's 4.8. This small upward trend suggests minor fluctuations in local activity, though the overall rate remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported per day over the month, a figure that translates to a manageable frequency for a community of 6,880 people. Over the course of April, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 202 residents—a monthly exposure rate that highlights the relatively low incidence of crime in this built-up area of the Cotswolds. When scaled to the local population, this means that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime directly, reinforcing Tetbury's position as a safer-than-average community. The population context further illustrates that the 34 reported crimes represent a small proportion of the total population, suggesting that local policing and community dynamics are effectively mitigating risks.
