Tiverton Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2025, Tiverton’s crime rate stood at 7.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 3.8% below the UK average of 7.8 per 1,000. This figure, while modest, translates to a tangible risk for residents: over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 133 individuals. The crime profile was dominated by violent and sexual offences, which accounted for nearly half (46.2%) of all incidents, significantly higher than the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, making up 21.8% of reports, again exceeding national figures. These patterns may reflect local dynamics, such as the area’s mix of urban and rural characteristics, where community interactions and public spaces could contribute to higher levels of interpersonal conflict. Seasonal context also played a role; as March marks the transition to spring, the lengthening evenings may have influenced crime trends. The lower rates of shoplifting and public order offences compared to the UK average suggest that local initiatives or environmental factors—such as well-lit public areas or community engagement—may be mitigating certain types of crime. However, the rise in bicycle theft and robbery highlights the need for targeted interventions in specific areas. Overall, Tiverton’s crime rate remains relatively low, but the distribution of crime types indicates opportunities for further reduction in violent and anti-social incidents.

March 2025 saw a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from 0 to 1 reported incident—a stark anomaly. Robbery also doubled, with two cases recorded. Conversely, vehicle crime dropped by 80%, from 5 to 1, possibly reflecting seasonal changes or reduced traffic during the transition to spring. The crime mix shifted significantly, with violent crimes making up 46.2% of all reports, well above the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour also exceeded the UK rate by 28%, highlighting local challenges in managing public conduct. Meanwhile, shoplifting and public order offences fell below UK averages by 26% and 45%, respectively, suggesting effective local measures in these areas. These variations illustrate the combination of factors affecting different crime types in Tiverton.

Tiverton’s crime rate in March 2025 fell by 15.7% compared to February’s 8.9 per 1,000, marking a notable decline. This reduction aligns with seasonal shifts as March transitions into spring, when longer evenings may influence crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 5 crimes per day, a figure that translates to one reported crime for every 133 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure provides a tangible sense of risk for residents, placing Tiverton’s rate in context relative to its population of 20,726. The drop from February’s rate suggests a possible seasonal effect, though local factors such as community initiatives or policing strategies could also contribute. The population-scaled perspective underscores that while crime is present, the rate remains below the UK average, offering reassurance to those living in the area.
