Treherbert Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Treherbert’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a figure 32.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked deviation from the national norm highlights the area’s unique characteristics, which may be influenced by its status as a built-up urban centre within Rhondda Cynon Taf. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 46.7% of all reported crimes, making them the most prevalent category in the area, though their rate (2.4 per 1,000) remains 8% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 23.3% of total crimes, and its rate (1.2 per 1,000) is 10% below the UK average. Public order offences, at 0.5 per 1,000, also fall below the UK average. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter celebrations and spring weather—likely contributed to increased outdoor activity, which may have influenced both the frequency and nature of crimes. However, the data also reveals significant disparities in specific categories: burglary, at 0.4 per 1,000, is 48% above the UK average, while bicycle theft, at 0.2 per 1,000, is 186% above the UK average. These anomalies suggest that local factors, such as the presence of high-value assets or specific vulnerabilities in certain sectors, may be driving these trends. The overall crime picture, while comparatively low, underscores the need for continued monitoring of these outlier categories to ensure sustained improvements in public safety.

April 2025 saw a striking surge in anti-social behaviour, which increased by 133.3% compared to March, rising from three to seven incidents. This sharp rise, coupled with a 100% increase in both burglary and shoplifting—each of which had previously been absent—suggests a possible shift in criminal activity patterns. Burglary in the area is 48% above the UK average, a figure that stands in stark contrast to the 186% above average rate for bicycle theft, a category typically associated with urban environments. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences decreased by 26.3%, from 19 to 14 cases, potentially reflecting the impact of Easter-related community events or seasonal changes in public behaviour. The data also reveals that shoplifting, which had been absent in March, now occurs at a rate 70% below the UK average, indicating a combination of local deterrents and broader national trends.

Treherbert's crime rate in April 2025 (5.2 per 1,000 residents) represents a 6.1% decrease from March's 5.6 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that, while low, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity in a built-up urban environment. When scaled to the population of 5,752 residents, this translates to one crime occurring for every 192 residents over the course of April—a monthly exposure rate that, while modest, is consistent with the area’s historical profile. The population context further illustrates that each resident faces a 0.052% chance of being directly involved in a crime, a probability that remains below the UK average when considering the broader national context. This reduction aligns with seasonal patterns, as spring weather and increased outdoor activity may have encouraged community engagement and informal surveillance, potentially deterring certain types of crime.
