Tiverton Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tiverton's built-up area recorded 180 crimes in April 2025, translating to a crime rate of 8.7 per 1,000 residents—a 13% increase above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, when contextualised against the area's population of 20,726, means one reported crime occurred for every 115 residents over the course of the month. The data reveals a distinct crime profile, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 35% of all incidents (63 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (28.9%, 52 cases) and criminal damage and arson (14.4%, 26 cases). These patterns align with seasonal factors, as April's Easter period and spring weather likely drove increased outdoor activity and associated risks. The violent crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 (15% above the UK average) and anti-social behaviour rate of 2.5 per 1,000 (88% above the UK average) suggest challenges in managing public order and preventing aggression in shared spaces. Public order offences (0.4 per 1,000) fell 26% below the UK average, possibly reflecting local efforts to regulate such incidents or the absence of specific triggers in Tiverton compared to more densely populated areas.

April 2025 saw a marked increase in possession of weapons, with incidents rising 200% from one to three, a shift that may reflect heightened tensions or seasonal factors. Criminal damage and arson also surged by 136%, jumping from 11 to 26 cases, a figure that stands in stark contrast to the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000. Theft from the person doubled in the month, rising from zero to four incidents, while shoplifting fell by 27% to eight cases, below the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000. These fluctuations highlight a shift in the crime mix, with property crimes (51 total) slightly outpacing violent crimes (63 total). Anti-social behaviour remained the most common category, accounting for 28.9% of all incidents, a rate 88% above the UK average, suggesting a need for targeted community interventions in this area.

Tiverton's crime rate in April 2025 rose to 8.7 per 1,000 residents, a 15.3% increase from March's 7.5 per 1,000. This brings the area's monthly exposure to approximately one reported crime for every 115 residents, a figure that contextualises the frequency of incidents within the local population. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of six crimes per day, a statistic that may help residents gauge the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily routines. When compared to the UK average, Tiverton's rate remains 13% higher, but the localised context of a built-up area within Mid Devon suggests that factors such as community density and seasonal activity may play a role in shaping these figures. The population-scaled perspective highlights that while the rate is elevated, the absolute number of crimes—180 in total—translates to a manageable proportion of the area's 20,726 residents.
