Tetbury’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.1 per 1,000 residents, a figure that is 49.4% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends underscores the unique characteristics of this Cotswold town, where the built-up area’s compact size and historical charm may contribute to a lower crime environment. The breakdown of crimes reveals a striking dominance of violent offences, which accounted for 64.3% of all incidents—18 out of 28 total crimes. This focus on violent crime contrasts with the UK average, where property-related offences typically constitute a larger share. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 25.0% of reported incidents, while property crimes remained minimal, with only one recorded case. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and the longest days—may have influenced these patterns, as increased foot traffic in Tetbury’s historic town centre could heighten interactions that sometimes lead to conflicts. However, the absence of high-density commercial areas may also limit opportunities for theft or burglary, contributing to the overall lower crime rate. The data also highlights a 9% deficit in violent crime rates compared to the UK average (2.6 vs 2.9 per 1,000), a trend consistent with Tetbury’s rural character and relatively stable community dynamics. These factors collectively illustrate a town where crime, while present, remains a rare occurrence compared to larger urban centres.
