Tandridge Crime Rate June 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge's June 2023 crime rate of 5.7 per 1,000 residents marked a 32.9% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.5 per 1,000, illustrating the area's consistent performance as a relatively low-crime district. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences (35.1% of total incidents), followed by anti-social behaviour (20.4%) and public order offences (10.7%). These figures align with the broader trend of Tandridge maintaining rates significantly below national averages across multiple categories, including criminal damage (22% below UK average) and drugs offences (52% below). The seasonal context of June — the start of summer and a period when tourism begins in coastal and rural areas — may have influenced some patterns. Violence and sexual offences, while the most frequent category, still fell 32% below the UK average for this type, suggesting that local factors such as community policing or demographic characteristics may contribute to this outcome. Anti-social behaviour, another prominent category, also remained 19% below the national average, reflecting the area's character as a mix of residential and commercial spaces where such incidents are less concentrated. The overall picture illustrates a district where crime rates are consistently lower than the UK average, with violent crime and anti-social behaviour representing the primary areas of focus for local authorities.

June 2023 saw notable shifts in Tandridge's crime profile, with shoplifting decreasing by 46.7% to 8 incidents — a drop that may reflect seasonal changes or targeted policing efforts. Conversely, theft from the person rose sharply by 150%, jumping from 2 to 5 cases, a trend that could signal increased vulnerability in public spaces during summer. The category of 'Other theft' also declined by 45.5%, linked to reduced retail activity or improved security measures. Meanwhile, possession of weapons fell by 28.6%, a decrease that may align with broader public safety initiatives. In contrast to these changes, violent crimes remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 35.1% of all incidents, though they still fell 32% below the UK average for this category. These fluctuations highlight the complex relationship between local conditions and crime dynamics, with some trends pointing to seasonal influences and others suggesting the impact of community-focused interventions.

Tandridge's crime rate in June 2023 rose slightly to 5.7 per 1,000 residents from 5.4 per 1,000 in May, marking a 6.1% increase. This shift, though modest, underscores the dynamic nature of local crime patterns. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 17 reported crimes each day in June, a figure that, while consistent with prior months, may reflect seasonal factors such as increased outdoor activity. When viewed through the lens of population exposure, the monthly aggregate suggests that over the course of June, one crime was reported for roughly every 176 residents — a statistic that contextualises the scale of incidents within the district's 90,586 population. This rate, though slightly higher than May, remains significantly below the UK average, highlighting Tandridge's continued position as a relatively safe area. The interplay between local demographics and seasonal trends likely plays a role in these figures, though the exact mechanisms remain speculative without further data.
