Coppull Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coppull's built-up area within Chorley recorded a crime rate of 4.9 per 1,000 residents in April 2025, placing it 36.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This stark contrast with national trends is most pronounced in the category of anti-social behaviour, which accounted for 53.7% of all reported crimes—nearly double the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. The dominance of anti-social behaviour, alongside 17.1% violence and sexual offences and 7.3% other theft, highlights a distinct crime profile shaped by local social patterns. The seasonal context of April—marked by Easter celebrations, milder weather, and increased outdoor activity—likely contributes to the spike in anti-social incidents, as public spaces become more crowded. However, the overall decline in violent crime compared to the UK average suggests that Coppull's community structures may provide a buffer against more severe criminal activity. The low rate of property crimes (8 incidents) and the absence of significant burglary or vehicle crime further differentiate this area from larger urban centres. While the anti-social behaviour surge raises questions about local enforcement or community engagement, the broader trend of safety aligns with the characteristics of a commuter belt suburb, where population density is lower and social cohesion is stronger.

April 2025 saw a dramatic 175% increase in anti-social behaviour reports, rising from 8 to 22 incidents. This surge, though not uncommon during Easter weekends when public spaces see heightened activity, contrasts sharply with the 73.1% decline in violence and sexual offences, which fell from 26 to 7. The shift in crime mix suggests a possible reallocation of resources or changes in community engagement. Anti-social behaviour in Coppull is 95% above the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000, a disparity that may reflect the area's unique social dynamics. Meanwhile, drugs and vehicle crime both doubled from zero to one incident each. The low rate of violent crime—0.8 per 1,000 compared to the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000—illustrates a broader trend of reduced aggression in the area during spring, a pattern consistent with similar commuter belt suburbs.

Coppull's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a 6.8% decrease from the previous month's 5.3 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, aligns with seasonal patterns observed in similar built-up areas where spring transitions often see reduced violent crime as outdoor activity shifts. Daily crime statistics show an average of one reported crime per day in April, a figure that reflects the area's relatively low overall rate compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 203 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the area's safety profile. When scaled to the local population of 8,321, this equates to a manageable burden on community resources, though the anti-social behaviour spike remains a focal point for local authorities. The population context further illustrates that Coppull's crime dynamics are distinct from larger urban centres, where higher density often correlates with more frequent incidents.
