Coppull Crime Rate November 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Coppull’s crime rate in November 2023 stood at 3.9 per 1,000 residents, 48% below the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends underscores the area’s relatively low crime profile, a position reinforced by the dominance of specific offence types. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.6% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (31.3%) and criminal damage and arson (12.5%). These patterns may be influenced by seasonal factors such as the dark evenings of November, which could contribute to higher rates of anti-social behaviour and violence in public spaces. The local crime picture also shows a marked divergence from the UK average in several categories: public order offences are 81% below the national rate, while shoplifting and burglary are 82% and 71% below, respectively. These figures suggest that Coppull’s built-up area within Chorley may benefit from lower levels of commercial activity or more effective local policing in retail and residential zones. The seasonal context of November—marked by events like Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping—could also play a role in shaping crime trends, though the overall decline in violent crime by 18.8% compared to October indicates that broader community or environmental factors may be at work. This combination of low rates and specific offence patterns illustrates a community where crime is both less frequent and, in some respects, less severe than the national average, though the interplay of local characteristics and seasonal influences remains a key consideration for ongoing analysis.

November 2023 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with vehicle crime surging by 100% (from 0 to 1 incident) and anti-social behaviour rising 25% (from 8 to 10 cases). These increases may partly explain the overall 11.1% drop in the crime rate from October, as violent crimes fell by 18.8% (from 16 to 13 cases). Violence and sexual offences remain the most significant category, contributing 40.6% of all crimes, though they still sit 38% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. Conversely, anti-social behaviour in Coppull is 14% above the UK average, a figure that might reflect local social dynamics or seasonal pressures such as Bonfire Night events. The sharp rise in vehicle crime, while statistically small in absolute terms, could signal heightened activity around local parking areas or increased traffic during Black Friday shopping. Residents may find the daily crime count—roughly 1 incident per day—useful for contextualising local safety, though this remains well below national averages for most categories.

Coppull’s November 2023 crime rate of 3.9 per 1,000 residents stands 48% below the UK average, reflecting a safer environment compared to national trends. This figure translates to roughly one reported crime every 260 residents over the month, highlighting the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When compared to the previous month’s rate of 4.3 per 1,000, November shows an 11.1% decline, suggesting a possible seasonal dip in criminal activity. Daily crime statistics indicate an average of one crime per day in Coppull, a figure that may appear low but aligns with the area’s character as a smaller, possibly more tightly knit community where local awareness and policing efforts could contribute to lower rates. The monthly exposure metric—1 crime per 260 residents—places Coppull in a category where residents are statistically less likely to experience crime than the UK average, though this does not eliminate the need for vigilance in specific areas. The contrast with the UK average is particularly stark in categories like public order offences, where Coppull’s rate is 81% below the national figure, suggesting a lower prevalence of disruptive behaviour in local public spaces.
