Coleshill Crime Rate February 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Coleshill’s crime rate for February 2024 was 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places the area 29.6% below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. This performance underscores Coleshill’s relatively safe environment compared to national standards, though specific crime types reveal nuanced patterns. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 40.0% of all incidents, with 14 reported cases. This category’s rate of 2.0 per 1,000 is 20% below the UK average, suggesting effective local measures in addressing violent crime. Anti-social behaviour followed with 20.0% of incidents, at a rate of 1.0 per 1,000, also 5% below the UK average. These figures align with the area’s seasonal context: February, a winter month marked by low outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may contribute to the overall reduction in crime. However, vehicle crime remains a persistent concern, with a rate of 1.0 per 1,000 that is 127% above the UK average. This discrepancy could be attributed to the built-up nature of Coleshill, where higher vehicle density and parking patterns may create opportunities for such incidents. The data also reveals that public order offences and burglary rates are below UK averages, reflecting a broader trend of lower property crime in the area. These patterns suggest that while Coleshill benefits from a generally low crime profile, targeted interventions may be needed to address specific vulnerabilities like vehicle-related offences. The seasonal context further indicates that as spring approaches and outdoor activity increases, vigilance in these areas could be crucial for maintaining the current safety trajectory.

February 2024 saw a 50% reduction in vehicle crime, with incidents falling from 14 to 7. This decline, though modest in absolute terms, may reflect seasonal factors or local enforcement initiatives. Other theft also dropped sharply by 66.7%, from 3 to 1, suggesting improved security measures or reduced opportunities for theft. Conversely, anti-social behaviour increased by 75%, rising from 4 to 7 incidents. This uptick may be linked to post-holiday dynamics or shifts in community activity patterns. Vehicle crime in Coleshill remains 127% above the UK average, a striking contrast to the area’s overall safety record. The 127% disparity highlights a specific vulnerability in this category, tied to the built-up area’s infrastructure or vehicle density. These contrasting trends illustrate the combination of local conditions and national benchmarks, offering insight into targeted areas for further attention.

Coleshill's crime rate in February 2024 stood at 5.0 per 1,000 residents, a 12.5% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.7 per 1,000. This decline aligns with the typical seasonal lull observed in winter months, where reduced outdoor activity and shorter daylight hours may partly explain lower crime levels. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day over the 29-day period, reflecting a relatively low frequency of incidents. When scaled to the population of 7,024, this translates to one crime for every 201 residents over the course of the month. This monthly exposure figure provides residents with a tangible sense of risk, though it remains significantly below the UK average of 7.1 per 1,000. The population-scaled perspective also highlights the area’s broader safety context, with Coleshill’s crime profile consistently outperforming national benchmarks in most categories. These statistics, while modest in scale, underscore the effectiveness of local crime prevention efforts and the impact of seasonal patterns on community safety.
