Tandridge Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge's crime profile in July 2024 continues to demonstrate a marked contrast to national averages, with an overall crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents—31% below the UK's 8.4 per 1,000. This statistic underscores the area's relatively safer environment compared to the broader UK context. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (174 incidents, 33% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (84 incidents, 15.9%) and public order offences (63 incidents, 11.9%). These figures align with Tandridge's character as a predominantly rural district, where violent crime tends to be lower than in urban centres. Seasonal factors in July, including the peak of summer and the associated increase in outdoor events, likely contribute to the prevalence of public order issues. The UK average for violence and sexual offences stands at 2.9 per 1,000, but Tandridge's rate of 1.9 per 1,000 suggests a combination of effective local policing and community factors that mitigate such incidents. However, the rise in possession of weapons, which increased by 150% month-on-month, highlights a specific concern that may be linked to summer-related activities or transient populations. This trend, though still below the UK average, requires careful monitoring to ensure it does not escalate.

July 2024 saw a 150% increase in possession of weapons, with incidents rising from 2 to 5. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.1 per 1,000, warrants attention from local authorities and residents. Burglary also rose by 50%, from 18 to 27 incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal patterns such as summer festivals or increased outdoor activity. Conversely, anti-social behaviour decreased by 22.2%, a drop that aligns with broader UK trends but remains 38% below the national average. Shoplifting fell by 17.2%, possibly due to enhanced retail security measures during peak tourist season. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33% of all crimes, a proportion that is 33% below the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000. This disparity may be influenced by Tandridge's character as a largely rural district with fewer high-density areas prone to such incidents. Residents should remain vigilant regarding the increase in weapon-related offences, which could indicate evolving criminal behaviour patterns.

Tandridge's crime rate in July 2024 remained stable at 5.8 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure recorded in June. This consistency suggests no significant short-term fluctuations in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 17 reported crimes each day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents within the local community. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 172 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average. This statistic reflects the area's relatively low crime profile compared to the national context, though local patterns may not align directly with broader trends. The population of 90,586 residents provides a critical backdrop for understanding the scale of these figures, with crime rates proportionally distributed across the community. While the daily crime count is a useful metric for residents, it is the monthly exposure rate that offers a more comprehensive view of the area's safety profile relative to its demographic size.
