Coppull Crime Rate March 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In March 2025, Coppull’s crime rate stood at 5.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 32.1% below the UK average. This figure underscores the area’s consistently lower-than-average exposure to crime, a trend that aligns with its character as a built-up area within Chorley, where community-focused policing and local initiatives may contribute to safer conditions. The breakdown of crime types reveals a stark imbalance: 59.1% of reported incidents were violent crimes, including 26 cases of violence and sexual offences, while property crimes accounted for just 9.1% (4 cases). This dominance of violent crime over property-related offences may reflect local demographics, such as a higher proportion of working-age residents or increased social interactions in public spaces. Seasonal factors, including the transition to spring and the extension of daylight hours, may have influenced these patterns, increasing opportunities for interpersonal conflicts or gatherings. The UK average for violence and sexual offences is 2.7 per 1,000, meaning Coppull’s rate of 3.1 per 1,000 is 14% higher, a discrepancy that could be attributed to localised pressures or specific community dynamics. Conversely, anti-social behaviour in Coppull is 20% below the UK average, and criminal damage and arson are 65% below, suggesting effective measures in place to mitigate these categories. The overall crime profile illustrates a combination of local conditions and broader national trends, with violent crime emerging as the defining feature of Coppull’s March 2025 statistics.

March 2025 saw a dramatic 116.7% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 12 to 26 cases—a stark contrast to the previous month. This surge in violent crime, which now accounts for 59.1% of all reported incidents, dominates the crime profile and suggests a significant shift in local dynamics. Violent crime in Coppull is 14% above the UK average, a figure that may reflect local factors such as increased foot traffic or social gatherings during the spring transition. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 77.8%, dropping from 9 to 2 incidents, possibly due to seasonal changes in outdoor activity. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 27.3%, though it remains 20% below the UK average. These fluctuations highlight the volatility of crime patterns and the need for ongoing monitoring of trends in violent and property-related offences.

Coppull’s crime rate in March 2025 rose 15.8% compared to February’s 4.6 per 1,000, marking a shift from the previous month’s trend. While the overall rate remains 32.1% below the UK average, this increase suggests a temporary uptick in local activity. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day in March, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 8,321 residents. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 189 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively sparse nature of incidents in this built-up area. This statistic, when contextualised against the UK’s higher average, highlights Coppull’s consistent position as a safer-than-average locality. However, the month-on-month rise may indicate seasonal or situational factors, such as the transition to spring and longer evenings, which could influence patterns of social interaction and activity.
