Coppull Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Coppull’s crime profile in February 2025, accounting for 31.6% of all reported incidents. This category, at 1.4 per 1,000 residents, is 40% below the UK average, suggesting a relatively safer environment for violent crime compared to national trends. However, the area’s overall crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 remains 31.3% below the UK average of 6.7, a significant gap that reflects broader safety measures or demographic factors. Anti-social behaviour, the second most common crime, is 34% above the UK average, with 11 incidents recorded. This discrepancy highlights potential challenges in managing community conduct, particularly in areas with high foot traffic or social interaction. Seasonal context further influences these patterns: February’s low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull may contribute to reduced opportunities for certain crimes, such as burglary, which fell by 50% compared to January. The stability in the overall crime rate, despite fluctuations in specific categories, indicates that Coppull’s crime picture is shaped by a combination of localized efforts and broader environmental factors, such as the built-up nature of the area and its integration within Chorley’s urban framework.

February 2025 saw a dramatic 800% increase in criminal damage and arson, rising from one to nine incidents. This surge, though still below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, suggests a potential focus on property-related issues in the area. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 33.3% compared to January, dropping from 18 to 12 cases—a shift that may reflect seasonal patterns or local initiatives. Anti-social behaviour, however, rose 34% above the UK average, with 11 incidents reported. This contrast between decreasing violent crime and rising anti-social conduct underscores a complex mix of local dynamics. For residents, the sharp rise in criminal damage and arson could signal a need for increased community vigilance in public spaces, particularly during the winter lull in outdoor activity.

Coppull’s crime rate in February 2025 remained stable at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, matching the same figure from the previous month. This consistency suggests no major shifts in overall criminal activity. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one reported crime every 28 days, a rate that aligns with the low outdoor activity typical of winter months. When considering the population, the monthly exposure translates to one crime for every 219 residents, a figure that places Coppull well below the UK average in several categories. For instance, violent crime rates are 40% below the national average, and burglary rates are 26% lower. However, anti-social behaviour is 34% above the UK norm, highlighting a unique challenge in community management. These figures, when contextualized against the area’s population of 8,321, suggest that while overall safety remains strong, targeted interventions may be needed for specific issues like anti-social conduct.
