Tewkesbury Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tewkesbury's overall crime rate in November 2025 stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a 34.2% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This sustained performance places the area well below national levels, reflecting consistent efforts in community policing and local engagement. The breakdown reveals that violence and sexual offences accounted for 39.6% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (19.7%) and other theft (7.1%). These figures align with Tewkesbury's character as a historic market town with a strong sense of community, where public order issues tend to dominate over more severe violent crimes. Seasonal factors in November—dark evenings, Bonfire Night, and Black Friday shopping—likely contributed to fluctuations in specific categories. The town's lower-than-average rates for shoplifting (68% below UK levels) and vehicle crime (25% below) suggest effective local strategies in retail security and traffic management. While direct causal links, the combination of community initiatives, local business collaboration, and targeted policing likely plays a role in maintaining these lower rates.

November 2025 saw several notable decreases in crime types that have long been below UK averages. Violence and sexual offences, though still the most common category, remained 26% below the UK average (1.9 vs 2.6 per 1,000). Anti-social behaviour also continued its downward trend, 6% below the UK rate. The most significant decline was in shoplifting, which fell 68% below the UK average (0.2 vs 0.6 per 1,000), suggesting continued success in retail crime prevention measures. However, some categories saw increases: possession of weapons rose 300% (1 to 4 cases), and theft from the person doubled from 0 to 1 incident. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, warrant closer attention, particularly as they may indicate emerging patterns linked to seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Vehicle crime increased by 35% (20 to 27 cases), possibly tied to increased traffic during Black Friday sales. Conversely, several categories saw marked reductions, including robbery (down 75% from 4 to 1 case) and bicycle theft (down 33% from 3 to 2 cases), which may reflect effective targeted policing in high-risk areas.

Tewkesbury's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 4.8 per 1,000 residents, a 5.3% decrease from the previous month's rate of 5.1 per 1,000. This decline places the area among the safest in the UK, with a monthly exposure figure of one crime for every 207 residents. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 16 crimes per day—a rate that, while reflective of local conditions, remains significantly lower than the UK average. The population-scaled perspective highlights that Tewkesbury's crime prevention efforts have created a safer environment for its residents, with fewer crimes per capita than most comparable areas. Over the course of the month, the 492 reported crimes were distributed across a population of 101,949, resulting in a crime frequency that is both manageable and indicative of the town's proactive approach to community safety. While no UK-wide daily crime comparison exists, the local figure of 16 crimes per day provides a clear benchmark for residents and local authorities to monitor trends and maintain current levels of safety.
