Tiverton Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tiverton's crime rate in June 2025 was 9.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 12.3% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. As a market town with a mix of residential and commercial areas, the data reveals a crime profile shaped by seasonal factors and local demographics. Violence and sexual offences (38.1% of total crimes) and anti-social behaviour (27.5%) dominate the crime profile, both significantly exceeding UK averages. Shoplifting (11.1%) also stands out, though its rate is 59% above the national average. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may have influenced these patterns, with increased public activity potentially contributing to both anti-social behaviour and theft-related crimes. However, the data also shows a decline in vehicle crime, which could reflect reduced parking density during summer months or improved security in car parks. The interplay between these factors suggests a need for targeted strategies to address high-rate categories while leveraging seasonal trends to enhance community safety. This month's figures illustrate the dynamic nature of crime in Tiverton, where local conditions and national benchmarks intersect to shape the overall picture.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, including a 100% increase in possession of weapons and theft from the person, alongside a 66.7% drop in vehicle crime. These changes suggest a possible reallocation of criminal activity toward more discreet or personal crimes, potentially influenced by the start of summer and increased foot traffic in public spaces. The category of violence and sexual offences, at 3.5 per 1,000 residents, remains 22% above the UK average, highlighting a persistent challenge in this area. Conversely, categories like robbery and other theft saw reductions, with robbery falling by 50% and other theft decreasing by 58.3%. This contrast between rising and falling crime types underscores the complexity of local crime dynamics. For residents, the 100% increase in theft from the person serves as a specific cautionary insight, warranting heightened awareness in public areas.

Tiverton's crime rate in June 2025 fell by 4.0% compared to May's 9.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a slight but measurable shift toward lower crime levels. Daily crime activity averaged six incidents per day, a figure that may resonate with local residents as it translates to one crime occurring roughly every 110 residents over the month. This monthly exposure rate, while higher than the UK average, reflects the area's unique demographic and geographic profile as a market town with a mix of residential and commercial zones. The reduction in vehicle crime (-66.7%) and other theft (-58.3%) suggests potential improvements in security measures or seasonal factors, such as reduced vehicle movement during summer holidays. However, the population-scaled perspective reveals that Tiverton's crime rate remains 12.3% above the UK average, indicating a persistent need for targeted interventions in high-risk categories like anti-social behaviour and violence.
