Tidworth Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 15,051 residents, Tidworth recorded 61 crimes in October 2025—an average of 2 crimes per day. This totals to a crime rate of 4.1 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 46.8% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 59% of all reported crimes (36 incidents). This was followed by anti-social behaviour (21.3%, 13 incidents) and criminal damage and arson (9.8%, 6 incidents). The data illustrates a clear shift in the crime profile compared to previous months, with violent offences now dominating over property crimes. Seasonal factors may contribute to this pattern, as October brings darker evenings and the Halloween period, which can influence crime patterns. The rate of violence and sexual offences (2.4 per 1,000) is 10% below the UK average, suggesting that while local rates have risen, the area remains comparatively safer in this category. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage rates are also lower than the UK average, with anti-social behaviour 29% below the national rate. The low rates of shoplifting (84% below UK average) and burglary (67% below) indicate that Tidworth's built-up area may have characteristics that deter these types of crime, such as a strong community presence or effective local policing. However, the sharp increase in violent offences raises questions about underlying factors, such as changes in policing strategies or social dynamics, which may warrant closer examination. The seasonal context of October—shorter days and the transition into winter—could also play a role in the rise of violent crimes, as darker evenings may increase the risk of unobserved incidents. This data provides a snapshot of Tidworth's crime picture, highlighting both the successes in reducing certain categories and the challenges posed by the recent surge in violent offences.

October 2025 saw a dramatic 157.1% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 14 to 36 incidents. This surge, which now accounts for 59% of all crimes, marks a significant shift in the area's crime profile. Anti-social behaviour decreased by 18.8% (from 16 to 13 incidents), while burglary fell by 33.3% (from 3 to 2). These changes reflect a growing imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former now dominating the crime mix. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Tidworth (2.4 per 1,000) is 10% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, suggesting that while local rates have risen, they remain comparatively low. Residents may find the 157.1% increase in violence particularly concerning, as it represents the largest single-month jump in any crime category this year. Other theft and public order offences both doubled from zero to one incident, highlighting the need for targeted interventions in these areas.

Tidworth's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 38.7% compared to the previous month, climbing from 2.9 to 4.1 per 1,000 residents. This increase, while notable, still places the area 46.8% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics show an average of 2 crimes reported per day across the 31-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure rate of one reported crime for every 247 residents. When viewed through a population lens, this suggests that while crime is rising locally, the area remains significantly safer than the national average. The shift in crime mix from September to October highlights a growing proportion of violent offences, which now account for 59% of all reported crimes. This contrasts with the previous month's balance, where property crimes were more prominent. The population context further underscores that even with the rise, Tidworth's residents face a relatively low risk compared to other UK areas, with the monthly exposure rate indicating that most residents would not encounter a crime during the month.
