Coppull Crime Rate January 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Coppull’s crime rate in January 2024 was 4.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure 45.9% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This performance places the area among the safest in the country, though the distribution of crime types reveals a nuanced picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 42.4% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (24.2%) and criminal damage and arson (12.1%). The seasonal context of January—a post-holiday period marked by reduced retail activity and shorter daylight hours—likely contributes to the lower overall crime rate, particularly for outdoor offences such as vehicle crime, which fell to 0.1 per 1,000. However, the area’s violent crime rate remains below the UK average, with 1.7 per 1,000 compared to the national benchmark of 2.6 per 1,000. This suggests that local factors, such as community policing efforts or the area’s socio-economic profile, may play a role in mitigating violent incidents. Anti-social behaviour, while lower than the UK average (1.0 per 1,000), showed a significant month-on-month increase, raising questions about potential shifts in local dynamics. The relatively low rates of burglary (0.2 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.1 per 1,000) further reinforce the area’s status as a low-crime environment, though the absence of major retail hubs may explain these figures. Overall, Coppull’s crime profile in January 2024 reflects a combination of seasonal trends and local characteristics that keep crime levels well below national averages.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in January 2024 was the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour, rising from four to eight incidents. This surge, though modest in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal dynamics such as post-holiday social gatherings or changes in local activity patterns. Concurrently, drugs-related crimes also doubled, moving from zero to two reported incidents. This increase, while small, could indicate a shift in enforcement focus or a temporary uptick in illicit activity. In contrast, vehicle crime plummeted by 66.7%, dropping from three to one incident—a decline consistent with reduced outdoor activity during January’s shorter days. Violent crime also fell by 22.2%, from 18 to 14 incidents, a trend that may be influenced by the post-holiday lull in alcohol-fuelled incidents typically seen in urban areas. The area’s violent crime rate of 1.7 per 1,000 residents is 35% below the UK average, a disparity that highlights the effectiveness of local interventions or the area’s demographic profile.

Coppull's crime rate in January 2024 stood at 4.0 per 1,000 residents, an 8.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.3 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, aligns with seasonal patterns typical of January, a post-holiday period marked by reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that translates to one reported crime for roughly every 252 residents across the month. This monthly exposure rate suggests that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a daily basis, though the presence of anti-social behaviour and violence indicates concentrated pockets of concern. The population context further highlights that, despite the relatively low overall rate, the 8321 residents of Coppull experience crime at a pace significantly below the UK average, with the area’s violent crime rate 35% below the national benchmark for violence and sexual offences. This contrast underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the unique socio-economic characteristics of the area, though further analysis would be needed to confirm specific factors.
