Treherbert Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 presented a mixed crime picture for Treherbert, with the overall rate of 6.1 per 1,000 residents placing the area 25.6% below the UK average. Despite this, the data reveals a combination of trends, particularly in violent and public order crimes. Violence and sexual offences accounted for nearly half (45.7%) of all reported incidents, a figure that, while down 36.0% from May, remains 1% above the UK average. This category's prevalence may be linked to the area's character as a built-up community within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where social dynamics and localised tensions could contribute to such incidents. Public order offences also rose to five cases, 48% above the UK average, reflecting the start of the summer season and increased outdoor activity. Meanwhile, burglary, though lower than the UK average (133% below), accounted for 11.4% of total crimes, suggesting that targeted property crime remains a concern. Seasonal factors may play a role, as June marks the beginning of longer evenings and the potential for increased foot traffic in public spaces. However, the overall downward trend in crime, particularly in anti-social behaviour and vehicle crime, indicates that local efforts or environmental factors may be having a mitigating effect. These patterns underscore the importance of ongoing community engagement and policing strategies tailored to the specific needs of Treherbert.

June 2024 marked a sharp rise in possession of weapons, with one incident reported—a 100% increase from the previous month. Other theft also rose by 50%, moving from two to three incidents, a shift that may reflect changing patterns in personal property crime. In contrast, anti-social behaviour fell by 71.4% (from seven to two incidents), and vehicle crime dropped by 66.7% (from three to one), suggesting a possible seasonal or situational shift in criminal activity. Violent crimes, though still the most common category (16 incidents), declined by 36.0% compared to May, though they remain 1% above the UK average for violence and sexual offences. Public order offences, which increased to five incidents, were 48% above the UK average, highlighting a localised challenge in managing disruptive behaviour.

Treherbert's crime rate in June 2024 fell to 6.1 per 1,000 residents, a 34.0% decline from the previous month's rate of 9.2 per 1,000. This drop positions the area well below the UK average of 8.2, though the gap remains consistent with earlier months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day in June, reflecting a manageable pace of incidents for a community of 5,752 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 164 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for residents. While the overall rate has decreased, certain crime types—such as possession of weapons and public order offences—showed notable upward trends, suggesting that localised factors may still be influencing specific categories despite the broader decline.
