This figure places the area 13.3% above the UK average of 7.5 per 1,000, highlighting a need for continued vigilance. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 29.1% of all reported incidents—nearly a third of the total.

This rate of 1.1 per 1,000 is 86% above the UK average, suggesting local factors such as community events or seasonal pressures may be contributing. Public order offences also showed a significant disparity, with 1.1 per 1,000 reported—108% above the UK average. These patterns may be influenced by Coalville’s built-up area characteristics and the seasonal context of November, which includes Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping. The latter could drive retail-related crimes, though shoplifting rates (0.9 per 1,000) were 64% above the UK average, indicating potential vulnerabilities in commercial districts. The area’s crime profile thus reflects a combination of local dynamics and broader seasonal influences, with violent crime and property-related offences shaping the overall risk landscape for residents.

November 2023 saw sharp increases in burglary, bicycle theft, and robbery, each doubling from October figures. Burglary rose from 8 to 16 incidents, a 100% increase, potentially linked to seasonal factors like Black Friday shopping or increased home occupancy patterns. Bicycle theft, though minimal, surged from 0 to 1 incident—a 100% jump—possibly tied to colder weather and increased indoor activity. Robbery also doubled from 0 to 1 incident, though the small sample size limits interpretation. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 50% (from 2 to 1), reflecting heightened awareness during high-traffic periods. The crime mix shifted significantly, with property crimes (81 incidents) outpacing violent crimes (52) for the first time this year. This shift may be explained by the month’s focus on consumer activity. drop in violence and sexual offences from October remains notable.

Residents should be particularly mindful of public spaces during late-night hours, given the elevated rates of public order offences.

On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 6 crimes per day, a figure that may feel more tangible for residents navigating routine activities. Over the course of the month, one crime was reported for every 118 residents—a ratio that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the persistent presence of crime in everyday life. This monthly exposure rate is equivalent to a 0.83% chance of experiencing a crime, which is higher than the UK average but contextually influenced by Coalville’s built-up area status. The population context is critical: with 21,069 residents, even small changes in crime rates can have measurable impacts on community safety. The drop in overall crime rate may be partially explained by the 35.8% decline in violence and sexual offences, though the significant increases in property-related crimes like burglary and public order offences suggest no uniform trend. Residents should interpret these figures as a reminder that while the overall rate has decreased, certain categories remain affected compared to national benchmarks, requiring targeted awareness and community engagement strategies.
