Coalville Crime Rate July 2023 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2023, Coalville’s overall crime rate stood at 10.1 per 1,000 residents, placing it 21.7% above the UK average of 8.3. This figure reflects a combination of local dynamics, with property and violent crimes each playing distinct roles. Violent crimes, including violence and sexual offences, accounted for 36.3% of all incidents, making them the most prevalent category. This dominance of violent crime, though slightly lower than property crimes (86 incidents), suggests a community grappling with persistent issues in this area. The UK average for violent crimes is 2.8 per 1,000, but Coalville’s rate of 3.7 per 1,000 indicates a 33% deficit compared to national standards. This discrepancy may stem from Coalville’s built-up urban character, which could contribute to higher concentrations of interpersonal conflict and public disorder. Property crimes, meanwhile, showed a more nuanced picture. While criminal damage and arson (1.5 per 1,000) were 134% above the UK average, other theft (1.0 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.7 per 1,000) also exceeded national benchmarks. These trends may be influenced by the area’s industrial and commercial activity, which could create environments conducive to vandalism and retail theft. July, as a peak summer month, likely amplified these patterns through increased foot traffic, outdoor events, and school holidays. However, the decline in public order offences—down 35.7% from June—suggests that local policing efforts or seasonal factors may have temporarily mitigated some of these issues. The balance between property and violent crime in Coalville this month highlights the need for targeted strategies to address both categories, particularly as the area’s unique urban fabric and seasonal rhythms continue to shape its crime profile.

July 2023 saw a dramatic rise in burglary, with incidents surging by 175% from 4 to 11. This spike aligns with seasonal patterns, as summer months often see increased outdoor activity and potentially greater opportunities for residential break-ins. Shoplifting also rose sharply by 150%, from 6 to 15, possibly linked to the area’s retail presence and summer tourism. Conversely, public order offences fell by 35.7%, from 28 to 18, a decline that may reflect the impact of targeted policing or reduced public gatherings during the month. Violence and sexual offences. remained 33% above the UK average at 3.7 per 1,000. This persistent gap highlights Coalville’s unique challenges, tied to its built-up urban character and local demographics. The violent crime category’s dominance—accounting for 36.3% of all incidents—suggests a need for focused interventions in high-risk areas.

Coalville's crime rate in July 2023 remained stable at 10.1 per 1,000 residents, a 1.9% increase from the previous month's rate of 9.9 per 1,000. This places the area 21.7% above the UK average, highlighting persistent challenges compared to national trends. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 7 incidents per day over the 31-day period, underscoring a consistent presence of crime in the community. When scaled to the area’s population of 21,069, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 99 residents over the month. While this figure is a monthly aggregate and not a daily frequency, it provides context for residents on the likelihood of encountering crime within their community. The stability in the overall rate contrasts with significant fluctuations in specific crime categories, suggesting localized factors may influence patterns more than broader regional trends. This monthly exposure figure, though modest, reflects the ongoing need for community vigilance and targeted policing efforts.
