Tidworth Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Tidworth's crime profile in April 2025, accounting for 45.6% of all reported incidents. The area's overall crime rate of 4.5 per 1,000 residents places it 41.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently safer environment than the national norm. This pattern aligns with Tidworth's character as a built-up area within Wiltshire, where the mix of residential and commercial zones may contribute to the concentration of violent crime. Seasonal factors in April, including the Easter holiday and increased outdoor activity during spring, may have influenced the crime profile. The breakdown shows that property crimes account for 29.4% of incidents (20 cases), while violent crimes (31 cases) remain the primary concern. Tidworth's shoplifting rate is 70% below the UK average, indicating effective retail security measures or lower foot traffic in commercial areas during the Easter period. The area's crime picture remains shaped by its demographic and geographic context, with no significant spikes in categories like burglary or vehicle crime. The combination of low property crime rates and the prominence of violent offences suggests a need for targeted community initiatives to address underlying factors, such as social cohesion or local service provision, which may be more influential than seasonal variations.

April 2025 saw significant increases in specific crime categories, with other theft rising by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents) and criminal damage and arson surging by 125% (from 4 to 9). These jumps contrast sharply with the 62.5% decline in public order offences, which dropped from 8 to 3. The dominance of violent crime—accounting for 31 of 68 total incidents—continues to shape Tidworth's crime profile, with this category 20% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Shoplifting remains 70% below the UK rate, suggesting that Tidworth's retail environment may have effective security measures or lower foot traffic during the Easter period. The 47.7% month-on-month increase in overall crime rate underscores the need for ongoing vigilance, though the area still maintains a safer record than the UK as a whole.

Tidworth's crime rate in April 2025 rose to 4.5 per 1,000 residents, marking a 47.7% increase from the previous month's rate of 3.1 per 1,000. This upward trend, while notable, remains well below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that provides context for residents assessing local safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 221 residents, reflecting a relatively low monthly exposure compared to national averages. This statistic, when considered alongside the population of 15,051, highlights that Tidworth continues to maintain a safer profile than the UK as a whole. The shift from March to April may be influenced by seasonal factors, such as increased outdoor activity during spring, which can sometimes correlate with higher crime rates in certain categories.
