Treherbert Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Treherbert’s crime rate for November 2025 sits exactly at the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000 residents, reflecting a balance between local challenges and national trends. The area’s crime profile is shaped by a mix of violent and property offences, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 54.8% of all reported crimes. This category is 56% above the UK average, a disparity that may be influenced by the area’s compact built-up environment and seasonal factors such as darker evenings during November. The prevalence of violent crime contrasts with lower rates of vehicle crime, which are 50% below the UK average, potentially reflecting limited parking infrastructure or reduced vehicle presence in residential zones. Property crime contributes 28.6% of the total, with criminal damage and arson at 14.3%—a figure 89% above the UK average. This could be linked to the area’s historical industrial character and the seasonal impact of Bonfire Night, which may heighten incidents of vandalism. The drop in shoplifting compared to the UK average (21% below) is intriguing, indicating effective local retail security measures or lower foot traffic during Black Friday. Seasonal dynamics, including the transition to winter and reduced daylight hours, may amplify tensions in public spaces, contributing to the elevated rates of violence and public order offences. While the overall rate matches the UK average, the specific distribution of crime types suggests a unique local context shaped by both geography and temporal factors.

November 2025 saw significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, with shoplifting, criminal damage and arson, and other crime all increasing by 100% compared to October. This surge in shoplifting, despite remaining 21% below the UK average, may be attributed to Black Friday promotions drawing more shoppers to local stores, though the area’s lower-than-average rate suggests effective retail security practices. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 66.7%, aligning with the 50% UK average deficit and possibly reflecting reduced vehicle presence in residential areas during colder weather. The spike in criminal damage and arson—now 89% above the UK average—could be tied to Bonfire Night celebrations, which often coincide with increased firework-related incidents and associated vandalism. Public order offences remained stable, though their rate is 6% above the UK average, indicating ongoing challenges in managing crowds during seasonal events. Residents may find the 100% increase in 'other crime' particularly noteworthy, as this category is 150% above the UK average, suggesting unclassified or emerging issues requiring further local scrutiny. The balance between violent crime (54.8%) and property crime (28.6%) highlights a shift toward interpersonal offences, which may be influenced by the area’s dense population and limited public space for conflict resolution.

Treherbert’s crime rate rose by 13.5% from October 2025 (6.4 per 1,000) to 7.3 per 1,000 in November, marking a local fluctuation despite maintaining parity with the UK average. This increase translates to roughly one reported crime per day during the month, a figure that, while modest, reflects the area’s compact built-up nature where crime can feel more immediate to residents. Over the course of November, one crime occurred for every 137 residents—a monthly exposure rate that, while not exceptionally high, underscores the importance of community vigilance in a densely populated area. The 13.5% rise from the previous month contrasts with the UK-wide average, which remains stable, suggesting localized factors such as seasonal events or temporary demographic shifts are at play. For context, the area’s population of 5,752 means each resident faces a 0.73% chance of being directly involved in a crime over the month—a rate that is neither markedly higher nor lower than the UK average. However, the disparity in specific crime types, such as the 56% above-average rate of violence and sexual offences, indicates that local risk profiles can differ significantly even when overall rates align with national data. This comparison reinforces the need for targeted interventions in high-risk categories while maintaining awareness of broader trends.
