Snodland Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Snodland's crime rate in April 2025 was 6.5 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 15.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked deviation from the national trend highlights a unique local profile, driven by anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 36.1% of all crimes reported. This category, at 2.4 per 1,000 residents, was 80% above the UK average, suggesting a concentrated issue in this area. The second most common category was violence and sexual offences, which saw a 31% deficit compared to the UK average, with 1.8 per 1,000 residents. This contrast between anti-social behaviour and violent crime may reflect the area's character as a built-up part of Tonbridge and Malling, where community interactions and public spaces could contribute to such patterns. April's seasonal context—Easter and spring weather—may have influenced activity levels, with increased outdoor engagement linked to higher anti-social behaviour incidents. The relatively low burglary rate (0.2 per 1,000) and shoplifting rate (0.3 per 1,000) further underscore Snodland's divergence from national trends, due to effective local policing or a smaller retail footprint. However, the sharp increase in robbery, which rose from one to two cases, raises questions about targeted vulnerabilities that require further analysis. These findings illustrate a dynamic interplay between local conditions and broader national patterns, with implications for community safety strategies.

April 2025 saw a 63.2% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 19 to 31 incidents. This surge, which is 80% above the UK average for the category, contrasts sharply with a 77.8% drop in shoplifting, falling from 18 to 4 cases. The most striking anomaly was the 100% increase in robbery, with incidents doubling from one to two. These shifts suggest a combination of local dynamics and seasonal factors, such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity. Meanwhile, violent crimes remained 31% below the UK average, and burglary fell 26% below the national rate, indicating areas where Snodland's crime profile diverges from the broader UK trend. For residents, the 55% reduction in shoplifting may signal improved retail security measures or altered consumer behaviour during the Easter period.

Snodland's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 6.5 per 1,000 residents, a 25.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.8 per 1,000. This decline places the area 15.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, a consistent trend observed over recent months. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of three crimes per day, reflecting a relatively low but stable level of activity. When scaled to the population, this translates to one reported crime for every 153 residents over the course of the month. The population context further illustrates that Snodland's crime profile remains significantly lower than the UK average, particularly in categories such as shoplifting and drug-related offences, which saw reductions of 77.8% and 66.7% respectively. These figures suggest a community where crime prevention efforts may be aligning with local needs, though the spike in anti-social behaviour warrants attention.
