Tarleton and Hesketh Bank Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tarleton and Hesketh Bank's crime profile in July 2025 reveals a stark contrast to the UK average, with an overall rate of 3.5 per 1,000—59.3% below the national figure of 8.6. This low rate is driven by a combination of factors, including a strong emphasis on anti-social behaviour (58.1% of all crimes) and a marked absence of property crime, which was recorded at just 1 incident. The area's crime mix diverges from the UK pattern, where property crimes typically dominate. Anti-social behaviour, at 2.0 per 1,000, was 29% higher than the UK average, a discrepancy that may reflect the area's small, close-knit community dynamics. Violence and sexual offences, though lower than the UK average by 67%, saw a notable 35.7% decline from the previous month, potentially linked to seasonal changes. The summer months, with schools out and festivals in full swing, likely contribute to increased anti-social behaviour, though the overall crime environment remains markedly safer than the UK average. This profile aligns with the area's character as a built-up rural enclave, where community cohesion and limited commercial activity may suppress certain crime types.

July 2025 marked a 38.5% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from 13 to 18 incidents. This category, at 2.0 per 1,000, exceeded the UK average by 29%, suggesting a localised challenge. Concurrently, violence and sexual offences fell by 35.7% (14 to 9), a drop that placed this category 67% below the UK average. Other crime and public order offences each saw 100% increases, though these remained minor in absolute terms. These shifts may reflect seasonal dynamics, with festivals and events potentially driving anti-social behaviour while reduced nightlife activity or heightened community vigilance curbed violent incidents. For residents, the daily crime count of one incident remains a tangible metric, illustrating the manageable scale of local crime.

Tarleton and Hesketh Bank's crime rate in July 2025 (3.5 per 1,000) reflects a 16.2% decrease from the previous month's 4.1 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the summer season, when local festivals and events may divert police resources or alter community dynamics. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents for residents. Over the course of July, one crime occurred for every 289 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's relative safety compared to the UK average. The population of 8,952 further scales this perspective, demonstrating that even with 31 total crimes, the community's crime burden remains minimal. This consistency with historical trends suggests that local initiatives—such as community policing or seasonal event management—may contribute to sustained low crime levels, though no definitive programmes are documented in the data.
