Twyford (Wokingham) Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Twyford (Wokingham) recorded a crime rate of 3.2 per 1,000 residents in July 2025, placing it 62.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This marked a significant decline from the previous month’s rate of 3.6 per 1,000, reflecting a 12.2% decrease. The area’s crime profile remains heavily skewed toward property and violent offences, with violence and sexual offences (9 cases) making up 31% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (6 cases) at 20.7%. These figures align with Twyford’s character as a built-up area within Wokingham, where residential density and local amenities may contribute to higher concentrations of certain offences. Seasonal factors in July—peak summer, school holidays, and tourism—likely influence patterns, though the overall rate remains low compared to national averages. Violent crime, while the most common category, is 67% below the UK average, consistent with Twyford’s lower population density and community-focused policing strategies. Property crimes, including burglary (3 cases) and shoplifting (3 cases), also remain well below UK rates, suggesting effective local initiatives or environmental factors that deter such activities. The absence of major spikes in property crime, despite summer tourism, may indicate strong community engagement or limited commercial activity in the area.

July 2025 saw three categories experience a 100% increase from June: criminal damage and arson (1 → 2), bicycle theft (0 → 1), and 'other crime' (0 → 1). These jumps, though small in absolute terms, highlight emerging trends. Criminal damage and arson, which rose to 2 cases, may reflect increased outdoor activity during summer festivals or events, though no specific data links this to local happenings. Bicycle theft, now at 1 case, aligns with seasonal patterns where open spaces and festivals could temporarily increase opportunities for such crimes. The rise in 'other crime'—a vague category encompassing non-standard offences—suggests the need for further investigation into unclassified incidents. Conversely, other theft fell by 80% (5 → 1), due to heightened awareness or reduced retail activity during school holidays. Vehicle crime also dropped by 66.7% (3 → 1), linked to fewer parked vehicles in residential areas during summer. Burglary decreased by 50% (6 → 3), remaining 11% above the UK average of 0.3 per 1,000. This suggests Twyford’s burglary rate, while lower than most areas, still faces challenges compared to the national benchmark. Violence and sexual offences (9 cases) remained 67% below the UK average of 3.0 per 1,000, indicating the area’s relative safety despite the month-on-month fluctuations.

Twyford’s crime rate in July 2025 dropped to 3.2 per 1,000, a 12.2% decrease from June’s 3.6 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, reinforces the area’s position as one of the safest in the UK. On a daily basis, the average resident faced roughly one crime per 31 days, translating to a monthly exposure of one crime for every 314 residents. This figure underscores the rarity of crime in Twyford compared to the UK’s average of 8.6 per 1,000. The population-scaled perspective reveals that even with the 100% increases in specific categories, the overall impact on residents remains minimal. For context, the UK’s average of 8.6 per 1,000 equates to one crime for every 116 residents monthly, a stark contrast to Twyford’s 314. The area’s low crime rate may be attributed to its built-up nature within Wokingham, where community cohesion, local policing, and limited high-risk zones contribute to safety. While the rise in criminal damage and arson raises questions, the absence of significant spikes in property or violent crime suggests that Twyford’s crime prevention efforts remain effective. Residents are likely to feel secure, given the low frequency of incidents relative to national standards.
