Treherbert Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Treherbert’s November 2024 crime rate of 5.4 per 1,000 residents places it 28.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, positioning the area as a relatively safer locale compared to national trends. The crime profile reveals a mix of violent and property-related incidents, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 38.7% of total crimes (12 incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (16.1%) and other theft (12.9%). This distribution contrasts with the UK average, where property crimes typically dominate. Seasonal factors may influence these patterns: Bonfire Night on 5 November and the retail rush of Black Friday could have contributed to fluctuations in public order and theft-related incidents. However, the overall decline from the previous month’s rate of 9.0 per 1,000 suggests a stabilisation in local crime dynamics. Violence and sexual offences, though the most frequent category, remain 19% below the UK average, reflecting lower levels of community tension or effective policing in high-risk areas. Anti-social behaviour, which fell by 50% month-on-month, may also correlate with reduced public activity during colder evenings. The area’s lower crime rate compared to the UK could be linked to its character as a smaller, built-up community within Rhondda Cynon Taf, where local initiatives or demographic factors—such as a balanced mix of residential and commercial spaces—may contribute to a more stable environment. However, the sharp rise in other theft (100% increase) underscores the need for vigilance in areas prone to unsecured property or transient populations.

November 2024 saw a 100% increase in other theft, rising from 2 to 4 incidents, marking a significant shift in crime patterns. This category’s rate of 0.7 per 1,000 outpaced the UK average by 27%, highlighting a localised trend. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 80% compared to the previous month, aligning with the broader 40.4% drop in overall crime. Violence and sexual offences, though remaining the most common category (38.7% of total crimes), were 19% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000, suggesting a lower prevalence of serious incidents. Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 50%, from 10 to 5, potentially reflecting seasonal factors such as shorter evenings and reduced public gatherings during November. For residents, the sharp rise in other theft—a category including incidents like theft from vehicles or premises—may warrant heightened awareness in areas with higher foot traffic or unsecured property.

Treherbert’s November 2024 crime rate of 5.4 per 1,000 residents stands 28.9% below the UK average of 7.6 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently lower risk profile compared to national trends. This follows a significant 40.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 9.0 per 1,000, suggesting a recent shift toward stability. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for every 186 residents, a ratio that underscores the relatively low frequency of criminal activity in Treherbert. While the UK average offers a broad benchmark, local factors such as community engagement, policing strategies, or demographic characteristics may contribute to this divergence. The population of 5,752 further positions Treherbert as a compact area where crime impacts are more immediately visible to residents, though the overall rate remains well within the national safety spectrum.
