Coseley Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coseley’s crime rate in September 2025 stood at 6.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 8.1% below the UK average of 7.4. This marks a continuation of the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to national benchmarks. The most significant contributors to the local crime picture were violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 46.8% of all reported crimes, followed by criminal damage and arson at 11.8%. These figures suggest a persistent challenge in managing interpersonal conflicts and property-related incidents, which may be influenced by the area’s urban character and the seasonal transition into autumn. September, with its return to school and university term, often sees shifts in community dynamics that could impact crime patterns. Shoplifting and other theft categories were below the UK average, reflecting the area’s lower retail density or effective local policing strategies. The balance between property and violent crime in Coseley contrasts with the national trend, where property crimes typically dominate. This divergence may be attributed to the area’s specific socio-economic factors, though further analysis would be needed to confirm such connections. Overall, the crime profile in Coseley appears to be shaped by a combination of local infrastructure, policing efforts, and seasonal rhythms, with September’s figures illustrating a combination of these elements.

September 2025 saw a 2.4% decrease in Coseley’s overall crime rate compared to August, marking a continued downward trend. Among the most notable shifts were a 140% increase in public order offences, rising from five to twelve incidents, which may be linked to the return of students and the start of the academic term. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson surged by 66.7%, reflecting a possible spike in anti-social behaviour during the transition to autumn. On the other hand, anti-social behaviour dropped by 84%, with incidents falling from 25 to four, suggesting potential improvements in community engagement or increased reporting of such issues. The area’s violent crime rate remained significantly above the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 3.2 per 1,000 residents—24% higher than the national figure. This disparity highlights the need for targeted interventions in areas where interpersonal conflicts are prevalent. Meanwhile, shoplifting and other theft categories were below the UK average, with shoplifting at 0.4 per 1,000 residents—34% lower than the national rate. This could indicate effective retail security measures or a lower density of commercial premises in the area. Residents may find the decrease in anti-social behaviour and robbery incidents—both down by 66.7%—particularly reassuring, as these categories often directly impact community safety and quality of life.

Coseley’s crime rate in September 2025 was 6.8 per 1,000 residents, a 2.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.0. This reduction, while modest, aligns with the broader trend of decreasing crime in the area over recent months. On a daily basis, the local figure of six crimes per day provides context for residents, though this is a local metric without a corresponding UK-wide daily comparison. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 147 residents, illustrating the monthly exposure to crime in a population of 24,872. This rate is lower than the UK average when scaled to the same population, underscoring Coseley’s comparatively safer environment. The population-scaled perspective reveals that the area’s crime profile is low in certain categories, such as anti-social behaviour and drug-related offences, which were 83% and 100% below the UK average, respectively. These figures suggest that local initiatives or community characteristics may be contributing to the lower incidence of such crimes. However, the elevated rates in violent crime and property damage compared to national averages indicate areas where further attention may be required. The interplay between these local and national metrics highlights the importance of tailoring crime prevention strategies to the specific needs of Coseley’s population and geography.
