In April 2025, Tandridge’s overall crime rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents marked a 24.7% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This figure, while modest, reflects a broader pattern of lower crime prevalence in the area. The most common crimes were violence and sexual offences (34.3% of total incidents) and anti-social behaviour (15.8%), both of which performed significantly better than the UK averages for their respective categories. The prominence of violent crime over property crime suggests a dynamic where personal safety concerns may be more acute than economic or property-related issues. Seasonal factors, such as the Easter period and the transition to spring, likely influenced these patterns, with increased outdoor activity potentially contributing to higher incidents of anti-social behaviour and public order offences. However, direct links between these factors and the crime types observed. The relatively low rate of property crime, particularly shoplifting (55% below the UK average), may indicate effective local measures or a demographic profile that reduces opportunities for such crimes. This balance between violent and property crime, combined with the area’s performance against UK benchmarks, suggests a combination of local conditions and broader national trends that warrant further analysis.
