Tetbury Crime Rate January 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tetbury's January 2025 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents places it 45.1% below the UK average of 7.1, reflecting a consistently safer environment than the national benchmark. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast in distribution, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 55.6% of all incidents, followed by anti-social behaviour (18.5%) and vehicle crime (11.1%). This pattern is consistent with the area's character as a small, built-up area within the Cotswold region, where lower population density and a mix of residential and rural land use likely contribute to the dominance of interpersonal crimes over property-related offences. The seasonal context of January—marked by post-holiday periods, reduced retail footfall, and shorter daylight hours—may partly explain the relatively low levels of shoplifting and vehicle crime typically associated with busier months. However, the prominence of violence and sexual offences suggests a need for targeted community engagement, particularly in areas with higher concentrations of local amenities or social interactions. Tetbury's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.2 per 1,000) is 12% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour is 29% below the national rate, illustrating the area's ability to maintain lower levels of disruptive crime despite the absence of major urban infrastructure. These figures highlight the importance of localized factors in shaping crime profiles, with Tetbury's rural-adjacent setting and relatively stable community dynamics likely playing a role in its sustained safety record.

Violence and sexual offences saw a 15.4% month-on-month increase, rising from 13 to 15 incidents—a shift that contrasts with the overall trend of sustained low crime in Tetbury. Anti-social behaviour, though relatively minor in volume, surged by 100% (from 0 to 5 incidents), a jump that may partly explain the 8% rise in the overall rate. Meanwhile, vehicle crime rose by 50% (2 to 3 incidents), a modest increase that aligns with seasonal patterns typical of January, when reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours may limit opportunities for more complex crimes. Violence and sexual offences in Tetbury remain 12% below the UK average (2.2 vs 2.5 per 1,000), while anti-social behaviour is 29% below the national rate (0.7 vs 1.0 per 1,000). These figures underscore the area's relative safety, even as localized spikes occur.

Tetbury's crime rate in January 2025 rose 8.0% from the previous month's 3.6 to 3.9 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a slight upward trend despite remaining well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that aligns with the low overall rate and suggests manageable local pressures. When scaled to the population of 6,880, the monthly exposure translates to one crime for every 255 residents—a statistic that, while showing a marginal increase, remains far from the levels seen in more densely populated areas. This monthly aggregate highlights the area's consistent safety profile, even as small fluctuations occur. The 8% rise, though notable, does not indicate a significant shift in the broader trend of sustained low crime rates that define Tetbury compared to national benchmarks.
