Tewkesbury Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tewkesbury’s crime profile in September 2025 reveals a distinct balance between property and violent crime, with the latter dominating the monthly tally. The overall crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents places the area 39.2% below the UK average of 7.4, reflecting a consistently safer environment compared to national trends. Violent crimes, which account for 33.2% of all reported incidents, remain the most prevalent category, followed by anti-social behaviour at 25.1%. This pattern contrasts with the UK average, where violent offences constitute 42% of total crimes, suggesting Tewkesbury’s community may experience lower levels of aggression or higher reporting rates for other categories. Seasonal factors likely influence this dynamic: as September marks the return to school and university freshers’ week, increased foot traffic in town centres and social gatherings could contribute to both violent incidents and anti-social behaviour. However, property crimes remain lower than the UK average, with shoplifting, burglary, and vehicle crime all recording rates significantly below national benchmarks. This divergence may reflect Tewkesbury’s character as a largely rural district with fewer high-density retail hubs or nightlife areas, which typically correlate with higher property crime rates. The data also shows that while violent crime remains the most frequent category, its rate of 1.5 per 1,000 is 42% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, indicating that local factors—such as community cohesion or policing strategies—may be mitigating risks. This balance between crime types offers a nuanced picture of Tewkesbury’s security landscape, where violent incidents are more common than property crimes but still occur at a rate well below national norms.

September 2025 saw significant fluctuations in crime trends, with public order offences rising by 47.8% to 34 incidents—a sharp increase from 23 in August. This spike aligns with the seasonal context of back-to-school activities and social events, which may have heightened tensions or congestion in public spaces. Meanwhile, vehicle crime plummeted by 58.6%, dropping from 29 to 12 incidents. This decline could be attributed to reduced holiday traffic or seasonal changes in parking patterns, though further analysis would be needed to confirm. Theft from the person also rose sharply, with a 100% increase from zero to one incident—a notable outlier in the data that may reflect isolated incidents or heightened awareness leading to increased reporting. The dominance of violent crime over property crime is particularly striking: while property crimes accounted for 28% of total incidents, violent crimes made up 33.2%, a shift that contrasts with the UK average where property crime typically outpaces violence. This imbalance suggests that Tewkesbury’s residents may face different risk profiles compared to other areas, influenced by local demographics or community dynamics. Anti-social behaviour, at 25.1% of all crimes, remained significantly below the UK average of 1.2 per 1,000, reinforcing the area’s relatively low levels of disruptive activity. These patterns highlight the combination of seasonal events and underlying community factors in shaping Tewkesbury’s crime profile.

Tewkesbury’s crime rate in September 2025 fell to 4.5 per 1,000 residents, a 10.8% decrease from August’s 5.0 per 1,000. This downward trend, while modest, suggests a potential stabilization in local crime dynamics after a period of fluctuation. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 15 crimes per day—a figure that, while seemingly high, is contextually manageable given Tewkesbury’s population of 101,949. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 224 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than the UK average when scaled to local population sizes. This statistic underscores Tewkesbury’s position as a relatively safe area, where the density of incidents is spread across a larger community base. The comparison to the UK average also reveals stark differences in crime distribution: for instance, Tewkesbury’s vehicle crime rate of 0.1 per 1,000 is 75% below the national average of 0.4, a discrepancy that may reflect the town’s lower reliance on commuter transport or fewer high-traffic parking zones. These figures, when viewed alongside the area’s demographic and geographic profile, illustrate a community where crime is both less frequent and more dispersed compared to urban counterparts. While the monthly exposure rate is a useful metric for residents, this is an aggregate figure and does not account for variations in risk across different neighbourhoods or times of day.
