Tring Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2023, Tring reported 47 crimes across its population of 12,435 residents, translating to a crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 people—49.3% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This figure equates to approximately four crimes for every 1,000 residents, a low volume that aligns with the area's character as a built-up district within a predominantly rural region of Dacorum. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (36.2% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (31.9%) and shoplifting (8.5%). These patterns may be influenced by seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping, which could have contributed to increased incidents of violence and anti-social behaviour. Tring's rate of violence and sexual offences is 46% below the UK average, suggesting a lower prevalence of violent crime compared to the national context. The relatively low levels of property crime, including shoplifting (45% below the UK average) and vehicle crime (40% below the UK average), may reflect the area's smaller scale and lower foot traffic in commercial zones. However, the presence of anti-social behaviour at 14% above the UK average indicates a need for targeted community engagement to address local concerns. The data also reveals a marked reduction in criminal damage and arson (66% below the UK average), which could be linked to seasonal factors or effective local policing efforts. Overall, Tring's crime profile in November 2023 illustrates a combination of factors—including its rural context, seasonal events, and community dynamics—that shape its unique crime profile.

November 2023 saw a 13.3% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 15 to 17 incidents, while anti-social behaviour also climbed by 7.1% to 15 cases. This upward trend in violent crime contrasts with significant declines in burglary (down 57.1%) and criminal damage and arson (down 60.0%), highlighting a shift in the types of incidents occurring in Tring. Drug-related crimes surged by 100% from zero to one incident, a change that may reflect seasonal factors or isolated incidents rather than a broader pattern. Tring's violence and sexual offences rate of 1.4 per 1,000 residents is 46% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, indicating a notable disparity in violent crime trends between the area and the national context. These figures suggest that while certain crime categories are experiencing growth, others are stabilising or declining, presenting a complex picture of local crime dynamics.

Tring's November 2023 crime rate of 3.8 per 1,000 residents marked a 14.5% decrease from the previous month's 4.4 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend in local crime statistics. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day during November, a figure that contextualises the low volume of incidents relative to its population of 12,435. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 265 residents, a metric that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in Tring compared to the national average. This monthly exposure rate is particularly notable when considering the area's built-up character within a predominantly rural district, suggesting that local initiatives or community dynamics may be contributing to the sustained reduction in crime. The decrease in burglary and criminal damage—falling by 57.1% and 60.0% respectively—contrasts with the rise in drug-related incidents, illustrating a shifting crime profile that may warrant further observation.
