Coseley Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Coseley, 7.2 crimes were recorded in June 2025, marking an 11.1% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This translates to a monthly exposure of one crime for roughly every 139 residents, a figure that contextualises risk in everyday terms. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 40.2% of all reported incidents, followed by shoplifting (12.9%) and vehicle crime (11.7%). These patterns align with the area’s character as a built-up part of Dudley, where retail and transport hubs likely contribute to property-related offences. The seasonal context of June—longer days and the start of summer—may influence outdoor activity and tourism, though Coseley’s relatively low crime rate suggests effective community policing or environmental factors that deter criminal activity. The balance between violent and property crimes reflects a mix of local dynamics, with no single factor dominating the data. The overall crime rate remains consistently below the UK average, a trend that may be attributed to local initiatives or demographic factors, though further analysis would be required to confirm this.

June 2025 saw sharp increases in possession of weapons (+300%) and shoplifting (+109.1%) compared to May, with shoplifting rising from 11 to 23 incidents. This surge in shoplifting, which is 43% above the UK average, may reflect seasonal retail activity or targeted criminal behaviour in local stores. Conversely, public order offences fell by 50% (from 8 to 4), a decline that could indicate improved community engagement or reduced incidents during the summer months. Vehicle crime also rose by 116% above the UK average, linked to increased car usage during the warmer weather. Burglary and other crime both decreased, with burglary dropping 41.7% and other crime falling 33.3%, suggesting possible seasonal deterrence or targeted police action. The UK comparison reveals stark contrasts: while vehicle crime is higher than average, criminal damage and arson are 14% below the UK rate, and anti-social behaviour is 79% below. These variations highlight the area’s unique crime profile, where some categories align with national trends while others deviate significantly.

Coseley’s crime rate in June 2025 (7.2 per 1,000) represented a 23.5% increase from the previous month’s rate of 5.8 per 1,000, indicating a shift in local crime dynamics. This rise, however, still keeps the area 11.1% below the UK average, a consistent trend that may reflect broader regional differences in policing or socioeconomic factors. On a daily basis, 6 crimes were reported each day in June, a figure that provides a tangible sense of frequency for residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 139 residents, a monthly aggregate that underscores the relatively low risk compared to other UK areas. This rate is particularly significant when considering Coseley’s population of 24,872, as it suggests that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a regular basis. The contrast with the UK average highlights the importance of local context—while some crime types (like vehicle crime) exceed national levels, others (such as anti-social behaviour) are well below. These differences may be influenced by Coseley’s specific demographics, infrastructure, or community initiatives, though the data alone does not confirm causality.
