Coalville Crime Rate April 2023 | Monthly Statistics

Coalville's crime profile in April 2023 reveals a strikingly uneven distribution of criminal activity, with violent and disorderly incidents forming the bulk of reported crimes. At 10.4 per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate is 38.7% higher than the UK average, a disparity most pronounced in violent crimes and public order offences. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 41.8% of all incidents, with a rate of 4.4 per 1,000 residents—69% above the national average. This suggests a community grappling with persistent challenges in managing interpersonal conflicts and public safety. Concurrently, criminal damage and arson (1.5 per 1,000) and public order offences (1.5 per 1,000) both exceeded UK averages by over 100%, pointing to a possible link between local infrastructure and community tensions. While property crimes such as burglary and vehicle crime remained relatively low compared to the UK average, their share of the crime mix was minimal, indicating a distinct focus on violent and disruptive acts. The spring season, with its associated increase in outdoor activity and Easter-related events, may have contributed to this pattern. Coalville's data thus illustrates a built-up area where violent and disorderly crime dominates, requiring targeted interventions to address underlying social and environmental factors.

April 2023 saw notable shifts in Coalville's crime profile, with bicycle theft doubling from zero to one incident, and drug-related crimes tripling from three to six. These increases, though small in absolute terms, indicate emerging patterns that may warrant closer attention. Conversely, anti-social behaviour fell sharply by 55.2% (29 to 13), possibly linked to Easter holidays reducing public gatherings. Violent crimes, which account for 41.8% of all incidents, remain 69% above the UK average at 4.4 per 1,000 residents, a stark contrast to the national trend. Public order offences also surged 19.2% (26 to 31), outpacing the UK average by 134%. These figures highlight a pronounced imbalance in Coalville's crime mix, with violent and disorderly incidents dominating over property crimes. Residents may find the 33% shortfall in vehicle crime (6 incidents, below the UK average) noteworthy, suggesting localized factors such as parking habits or policing efforts influencing this category.

Coalville's crime rate in April 2023 (10.4 per 1,000 residents) marked a 2.7% decline from March's 10.7 per 1,000, reflecting a slight but consistent trend in recent months. This rate translates to roughly 7 crimes reported per day in the area, a figure that highlights the frequency of incidents in a built-up community of 21,069 residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 96 residents, underscoring the monthly exposure to crime in Coalville. While this figure is local-specific and not directly comparable to national averages, it provides a tangible sense of how crime permeates daily life here. The population-scaled perspective reveals that Coalville's crime rate remains significantly higher than the UK average, with violent crimes and public order issues driving this disparity. This contrast with the UK context suggests that local factors, such as community dynamics or policing strategies, may play a role in shaping Coalville's unique crime profile.
