Treherbert Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Treherbert, 5.6 crimes were reported in July 2023 — a rate 32.5% below the UK average of 8.3 per 1,000. This translates to a tangible everyday risk: a resident has a 1-in-180 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime over the course of the month. The crime profile shows a clear emphasis on violent crimes, which accounted for 43.8% of all incidents, with 14 cases of violence and sexual offences reported. This is 14% below the UK average for this category, suggesting local factors may temper violent crime trends despite the summer season, when outdoor events and festivals typically increase social interactions. Property crimes, meanwhile, made up 25% of the total (8 incidents), with burglary being the most common property-related offence. The seasonal context of July — peak tourism, school holidays, and festivals — likely influences crime patterns, though the overall rate remains significantly lower than national averages. Public order offences, however, stood out as 45% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect increased foot traffic and event-related disruptions in the area. This contrast between violent crime and public order trends highlights the combination of local dynamics, such as community cohesion and event management, which shape the crime picture differently than in other parts of the UK.

July 2023 saw notable shifts in crime trends, with burglary increasing by 100% (from 0 to 4 incidents), other crime rising by 100% (from 1 to 2), and drugs-related offences doubling (from 0 to 1). These increases may be linked to the summer season, when transient populations and festival crowds could create new opportunities for crime. Conversely, criminal damage and arson fell by 50% (from 4 to 2), due to heightened community vigilance during events or reduced vandalism during school holidays. Public order offences also declined by 28.6% (from 7 to 5), though they remained 45% above the UK average. The most striking contrast lies in violent crime: while violence and sexual offences accounted for 43.8% of all incidents, this category was 14% below the UK average, suggesting local factors such as community policing or social initiatives may contribute to this disparity. For residents, the daily crime rate of approximately 1 incident per day offers a concrete reference point for assessing risk in their immediate environment.

In July 2023, Treherbert's crime rate of 5.6 per 1,000 residents marked a 5.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.9, indicating a slight but consistent decline in overall criminal activity. This monthly exposure translates to a practical measure: over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 180 residents, a figure that contextualises risk in terms of population density. Compared to the UK average, Treherbert's rate remains lower, with the disparity most pronounced in violent crime, which was 14% below national levels. However, the area's public order offences were 45% above the UK average, a contrast that may reflect local characteristics such as the presence of event spaces or high-traffic areas that amplify such incidents. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the summer season's typical influence on crime patterns, Treherbert's residents face a lower baseline risk than the national average. This is particularly evident in burglary, which, while rising to 4 incidents (0.7 per 1,000), still remains 112% above the UK average — a figure that could signal the need for targeted security measures in specific locations. These comparisons underscore the importance of understanding how local factors, such as community engagement and event management, shape crime outcomes differently than in other areas of the UK.
