Tidworth Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

November 2025 saw Tidworth's violent crime rate fall to its lowest recorded level in recent years, despite the month's usual seasonal pressures. The area's overall crime rate of 3.0 per 1,000 residents — 58.9% below the UK average — highlights a stark contrast to national trends. Violence and sexual offences, the most common category (64.4% of total crimes), dropped by 19.4% compared to October, a shift that defies expectations for a month marked by Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping. This reduction may partly reflect the impact of extended evening darkness, which typically correlates with higher violent crime rates in similar areas. However, Tidworth's data shows a different pattern: 29 violent incidents were recorded, down from 36 in October, suggesting community initiatives or policing strategies may be influencing outcomes. The second most common crime category, criminal damage and arson (15.6% of total), remained below the UK average by 6%, with 7 incidents reported. This aligns with Tidworth's character as a built-up area within Wiltshire, where property crime tends to be lower than in more densely populated urban centres. Anti-social behaviour. of crimes, fell sharply by 69.2% month-on-month, linked to seasonal changes in social activity. The area's low crime profile, particularly in violent crime, raises questions about local factors that may contribute to this trend, though further analysis would be needed to confirm direct connections.

November 2025 brought unexpected shifts in Tidworth's crime profile. Violent crimes, typically rising during the autumn months, fell by 19.4% (from 36 to 29 incidents) — a decline that contrasts with national patterns seen during Bonfire Night and the start of the festive shopping season. This drop may be influenced by local factors such as increased community engagement or targeted policing efforts. Meanwhile, two categories saw significant increases: 'other crime' and 'vehicle crime', both rising by 100% from zero to one incident each. These spikes, though small in absolute terms, highlight the unpredictable nature of crime in low-crime areas. The category of criminal damage and arson rose by 16.7% (from 6 to 7 incidents), remaining 6% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 69.2% (from 13 to 4 incidents), possibly due to reduced public gatherings as temperatures dropped. Tidworth's rate for violence and sexual offences (1.9 per 1,000) is 26% below the UK average, a gap that persists despite the month's usual seasonal volatility. This suggests a broader systemic difference in how crime manifests in this built-up area compared to the UK as a whole.

Tidworth's crime rate in November 2025 (3.0 per 1,000 residents) represents a 26.2% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.1 per 1,000. This decline, while modest in absolute terms, translates to a significant reduction in the local context: over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 334 residents — a figure that underscores the area's relative safety compared to national benchmarks. On a daily basis, Tidworth recorded an average of 2 crimes per day in November, a rate that is lower than the UK's average of 7.3 per 1,000 residents. When considering the population-scaled perspective, Tidworth's crime profile appears even more favourable: the 45 total crimes reported in November equate to a 1-in-334 chance of being a victim, a ratio that would place the area well within the safer end of the UK's spectrum. This contrast becomes more pronounced when comparing specific categories: for example, Tidworth's rate for anti-social behaviour (0.3 per 1,000) is 72% below the UK average, a gap that suggests local factors — such as community cohesion or effective local policing — may be playing a role. The month-on-month reduction in violent crime, despite the seasonal pressures of November, further highlights the area's unique position in the UK's crime profile.
