Coppull’s January 2025 crime rate of 4.6 per 1,000 residents marked a significant 35.2% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.1, placing the area well within the safer end of the national spectrum. The most prevalent category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 47.4% of all reported crimes — a rate of 2.2 per 1,000, 12% below the UK average for this type. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, contributing 26.3% of incidents.2 per 1,000 was 22% above the national average. This discrepancy may reflect local challenges in managing community tensions or enforcing anti-social conduct laws. The seasonal context of January — a post-holiday period with reduced retail footfall and shorter days — likely contributed to the overall lower crime rate, as outdoor and commercial crimes typically decline during colder months. However, the relatively high rate of anti-social behaviour suggests that local interventions may need to focus on addressing community-specific issues, such as alcohol-related disputes or youth activity in public spaces. The low incidence of property crimes, particularly shoplifting and burglary, which were 84% and 67% below UK averages respectively, indicates that Coppull’s built-up character may limit opportunities for such offences, though this could also be influenced by effective local policing strategies. Overall, the crime picture in January 2025 highlights a generally secure environment, with targeted efforts needed to address specific categories like anti-social behaviour.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in January 2025 was the 100% increase in reported crimes categorised as 'other crime', 'drugs', and 'public order', each rising from zero to one incident. This surge, though small in absolute terms, highlights potential underreporting or shifting patterns in low-level offending. Conversely, criminal damage and arson dropped by 66.7% compared to the previous month, likely reflecting seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity during colder weather. Anti-social behaviour also fell by 23.1%, possibly linked to the post-holiday period and shorter evenings. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common category, at 2.2 per 1,000 residents — 12% below the UK average for this type. This suggests local factors, such as community cohesion or policing efforts, may be contributing to the area’s relative safety compared to national benchmarks.

Coppull's crime rate in January 2025 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, a 2.6% decline from the previous month's rate of 4.7. This minor downward trend aligns with typical January patterns, where reduced retail footfall and shorter daylight hours curtail opportunities for outdoor crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, a figure that may reflect seasonal lulls in activity. When scaled to the population of 8,321, this equates to one reported crime occurring for every 219 residents over the course of the month. While this monthly exposure rate is consistent with Coppull’s generally low crime profile, it underscores the relatively rare nature of criminal incidents in this built-up area. The modest decrease from December’s rate suggests stability in local crime dynamics, though further analysis would be needed to confirm long-term trends.
