Twyning Crime Rate

Twyning's crime rate of 30.9 per 1,000 residents is 66% below the UK average, placing it in the 'VERY_SAFE' tier (93/100). While most crime categories show sharp declines, 'Other crime' and burglary remain elevated compared to national benchmarks. This paradox—low overall crime but specific vulnerabilities—offers insight into the area's unique security profile.

Twyning is a small built-up area within Tewkesbury, likely characterised by a mix of residential and rural land use. Its low population density and proximity to Tewkesbury may contribute to lower overall crime rates, though elevated burglary and 'Other crime' suggest vulnerabilities in property security or unmonitored public spaces. The area's socioeconomic profile, with limited commercial activity, may reduce opportunities for certain crimes but could also limit resources for community policing.

Twyning's most surprising finding is that 'Other crime' exceeds the UK average by 26% (2.5 vs 2.0 per 1,000), despite overall crime being 66% below the national rate. This could reflect niche local issues, such as unsecured sheds or informal land use patterns. Burglary, 23% above the UK average (4.0 vs 3.3), likely stems from older housing stock or transient populations. Anti-social behaviour's 55% deficit (6.6 vs 14.7) may be due to strong community cohesion. The sharp 200% YoY rise in Drugs, though still below UK averages, warrants monitoring—linked to transient populations or unaddressed substance use issues.

Crime in Twyning has fallen by 35.1% YoY, with most categories declining sharply. The most notable exception is drugs, which rose by 200% YoY—though remaining 52% below the UK average. Monthly trends show a peak in April 2025 (5.1 per 1,000), likely linked to seasonal events, followed by a steady decline through January 2026 (1.0 per 1,000). This pattern may reflect reduced foot traffic post-holiday periods and improved policing during winter months.

How To Keep Safe in Twyning

To address the 26% higher 'Other crime' rate, secure sheds and outbuildings with motion sensors and visible locks. For burglary, install scOS-compatible cameras with ethernet connectivity to prevent jamming. Given Twyning's 50–51% burglary rate in evening hours, avoid leaving valuables in vehicles overnight. Community engagement, such as Neighbourhood Watch participation, can further reduce 'Other crime' by fostering collective awareness.

Crime in Twyning peaks during evening and night hours, with burglary dominating between 6pm and midnight (50–51% of incidents). Vehicle crime spikes overnight (30% of night-time incidents), likely due to unsecured parking in residential areas. Theft and 'Other crime' follow similar evening patterns, possibly tied to reduced visibility or unmonitored public spaces. Morning and afternoon crimes are dominated by burglary, suggesting targeted intrusions during daytime when homes are unoccupied.

Twyning's crime rate (30.9 per 1,000) is 13% higher than Bredon's (27.4) but 51% lower than Northway's (46.6). Bredon's lower rate may reflect stronger community engagement or lower population density, while Northway's higher rate could stem from greater commercial activity or demographic differences.

For Twyning residents, addressing the 26% higher 'Other crime' rate and 23% higher burglary rate requires proactive measures, scOS's AI boundary monitoring can detect unauthorised movements around properties, reducing burglary opportunities. Its DVLA vehicle registration verification helps flag suspicious vehicles, addressing the 67% lower vehicle crime rate. The system's behavioural learning distinguishes residents from intruders, minimising false alarms while maintaining deterrence.
