Tamworth's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 6.2 per 1,000 residents, 15.1% below the UK average of 7.3. This figure reflects a stable month-on-month trend, with no significant overall rise or fall in reported crimes. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40.3% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (11.8%) and public order offences (9.2%). These patterns align with the area's seasonal context, as November brought darker evenings, Bonfire Night events, and Black Friday shopping, all of which can influence crime dynamics. The relatively low rate of violence and sexual offences compared to the UK average suggests that local factors—such as community policing efforts or the town's demographic profile—may contribute to this trend. Anti-social behaviour's 34% deficit against the UK average could indicate effective community engagement or lower population density in certain areas. However, the rise in public order offences by 28% above the UK average raises questions about the impact of seasonal events on local disorder. The overall crime picture illustrates a balance between persistent challenges and areas where Tamworth performs better than national benchmarks, pointing to the need for continued monitoring of specific risk factors during late autumn.

November 2025 saw a sharp 100% increase in theft from the person, rising from zero to three incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened foot traffic during Black Friday shopping or the impact of darker evenings reducing visibility. Burglary also rose by 76.9% compared to October, with 23 incidents reported—up from 13. This jump could be linked to seasonal factors, such as increased home occupancy during the holidays or heightened opportunities during Bonfire Night events. Meanwhile, violence and sexual offences declined by nearly 10%, from 223 to 201, a trend consistent with reduced public gatherings during colder weather. Tamworth's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.5 per 1,000) is 3% below the UK average, suggesting local initiatives may be effective in mitigating this category. Anti-social behaviour, at 0.7 per 1,000, remains 34% below the UK average, a figure that could indicate strong community engagement or effective policing in high-traffic areas.

Tamworth's crime rate in November 2025 remained stable at 6.2 per 1,000 residents, matching the previous month's figure. This consistency suggests no significant shift in overall crime levels. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 17 crimes per day, a figure that aligns with typical seasonal rhythms. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 163 residents, a monthly exposure rate that places Tamworth among the lower end of UK averages for comparable areas. When scaled to the local population of 81,117, this equates to a manageable burden for community resources, though targeted interventions may still be necessary in specific high-risk zones. The stability contrasts with broader UK trends, where rates often fluctuate more sharply during late autumn, highlighting Tamworth's relative resilience to seasonal crime spikes.
