Treherbert Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Treherbert's overall crime rate in June 2023 stood at 5.9 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 30.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. This rate, while lower than the national figure, reflects a combination of local factors and seasonal influences. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 44.1% of all reported crimes, though this rate is 11% below the UK average for the same category. Public order offences, which surged in June, now sit at 79% above the UK average, indicating a potential shift in community dynamics. The start of summer, with its longer days and increased public activity, may contribute to these trends. The area's relatively low crime rate compared to the UK suggests a generally safer environment, but the rise in public order incidents warrants attention. These figures align with patterns often seen in built-up areas during the summer months, where increased foot traffic and social interactions can lead to higher reported incidents of disorder. Residents should be aware that while the overall rate remains low, specific categories—particularly public order offences—require vigilance. The data also highlights a notable decrease in anti-social behaviour, which may indicate effective local measures or seasonal changes in community behaviour. As the area transitions into the summer months, continued monitoring of these trends will be essential to understanding their impact on local safety.

June 2023 saw sharp increases in several crime categories, with criminal damage and arson rising by 300% (from 1 to 4 incidents) and public order offences surging by 133.3% (from 3 to 7). These jumps, particularly in public order, suggest a shift in local crime dynamics that may be linked to the start of summer and extended daylight hours. Violent crimes accounted for 44.1% of all reported incidents, though this rate remains 11% below the UK average for the same category. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 25%, a decline that could reflect seasonal changes or local initiatives. The spike in public order offences—now 79% above the UK average—demands closer attention, as these incidents often occur in public spaces and may impact community safety. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, especially in areas where public order issues are concentrated.

Treherbert's crime rate in June 2023 rose by 35.9% compared to the previous month, moving from 4.4 to 5.9 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area remains 30.6% below the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000. Locally, this translates to one reported crime per day over the month—a relatively low frequency compared to national trends. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure means one crime occurred for roughly every 169 residents. This figure provides context for residents: despite the month-on-month rise, the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average. The shift in crime types, particularly the surge in public order offences and criminal damage, suggests changing patterns that may reflect seasonal or community-specific factors. These numbers, while showing a local uptick, still position Treherbert as a safer area than the national average, though vigilance is warranted in certain categories.
