Coppull Crime Rate May 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coppull’s crime rate in May 2025 stood at 5.4 per 1,000 residents, marking a significant 33.3% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This places the area among the safer built-up regions in England. The breakdown of reported crimes reveals a striking pattern: violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.0% of all incidents (18 cases), followed by anti-social behaviour (37.8%, 17 cases). These figures contrast sharply with the UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.8 per 1,000), where Coppull’s rate is 22% lower. However, anti-social behaviour in Coppull is 41% above the UK average (1.4 per 1,000), a discrepancy that may partly explain the area’s complex crime profile. Seasonal factors in May, including extended evenings and increased outdoor socialising, likely contribute to the spike in violent incidents and anti-social conduct. The relatively low rates of property crimes—only 6 total, including burglary, criminal damage, and vehicle crime—suggest a community where non-violent crimes are less prevalent. This contrast with the UK’s higher property crime rates may reflect Coppull’s compact, built-up nature, where informal social controls and limited commercial activity reduce opportunities for such offences. The data highlights a mixed picture: while violent crime remains a concern, the overall safety of the area compared to national benchmarks is notable.

May 2025 saw dramatic shifts in Coppull’s crime profile. Violence and sexual offences surged by 157.1%, rising from 7 to 18 cases, a jump that may be linked to the season’s longer evenings and increased outdoor activity. Burglary and other crime also doubled, with 2 and 3 cases respectively, though these remain low compared to the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, however, fell by 22.7% to 17 cases, a decline that could reflect temporary factors such as local initiatives or seasonal changes in community behaviour. The area’s performance against UK averages reveals stark contrasts: while violence and sexual offences are 22% below the national rate, anti-social behaviour is 41% above. This divergence suggests that Coppull’s challenges are not uniform. For residents, the most immediate insight is the sharp rise in violent crime—18 cases in May alone, with a rate of 2.2 per 1,000. This figure is 22% lower than the UK average, but the absolute increase from 7 cases in April is a cause for concern. The data also shows that property crimes, though minimal, are significantly below UK levels: burglary (0.2 per 1,000) is 29% lower, and vehicle crime (0.1 per 1,000) is 75% lower than the national average. These trends highlight the need for targeted approaches to address the specific risks in Coppull’s community.

Coppull’s crime rate in May 2025 rose 9.7% from the previous month’s 4.9 per 1,000, though it remains well below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly 1 crime per day over the 31-day period—a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 8,321 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 185 residents, a monthly exposure rate that is lower than many comparable areas. This statistic provides a tangible sense of the scale of crime for local residents: for every 185 people in Coppull, one incident was reported in May. The population-scaled perspective is critical here: with fewer residents than many towns, even a small number of crimes can have a visible impact. The previous month’s rate of 4.9 per 1,000 shows a slight upward trend, but the overall safety of the area compared to national benchmarks remains clear. For context, the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000 means Coppull’s residents face a crime risk that is more than a third lower. This comparison underscores the effectiveness of local policing or community factors in maintaining low crime rates, even as specific categories like anti-social behaviour remain elevated. The data suggests that while Coppull is generally safer than the UK average, targeted efforts may still be needed to address the areas where it lags, such as anti-social behaviour and the recent spike in violent crime.
