Torfaen Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, Torfaen recorded just three crimes across its population of 94,119 residents, translating to a crime rate of 0.0 per 1,000 people. This figure is 100% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000, making it one of the safest areas in the country for this month. The breakdown of reported crimes revealed a unique distribution, with public order offences, anti-social behaviour, and violence and sexual offences each accounting for 33.3% of the total. This even distribution across three distinct categories contrasts with other months where property crimes typically dominate. The seasonal context of December—characterised by Christmas shopping, party season, and extended periods of darkness—may have contributed to the low crime rate. While the UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.6 per 1,000, Torfaen's rate of 0.0 per 1,000 highlights an exceptional performance in this category. The absence of property crimes in the breakdown further distinguishes this month from others, suggesting that local factors such as community cohesion, effective policing, or seasonal dynamics may have played a role. The overall crime rate's proximity to zero raises questions about data collection accuracy, though the figures appear consistent with previous months' trends. This suggests that Torfaen's low crime environment is not an anomaly but a sustained feature of the area's crime profile.
