Coalville Crime Rate October 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Coalville's crime rate in October 2024 stood at 10.3 per 1,000 residents, placing it 27.2% above the UK average of 8.1. This stark divergence from the national benchmark underscores a growing concern for local residents. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (36.6% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (17.1%) and shoplifting (11.1%). These figures align with the area's characteristics as a built-up urban centre, where high foot traffic and commercial activity can contribute to increased incidents of public order crimes and theft. The seasonal context of October—marked by the end of British Summer Time and the onset of darker evenings—likely exacerbates these trends, as reduced visibility and increased Halloween-related activity may contribute to higher levels of anti-social behaviour and property crime. The significant gap between Coalville's rates and the UK average for violent crimes (42% above) suggests a need for targeted interventions, particularly in areas with high concentrations of such incidents. While shoplifting and anti-social behaviour are also elevated (53% and 40% above UK averages respectively), the most alarming trend is the 300% surge in 'other crime' reports, which may indicate unaddressed vulnerabilities in local crime prevention strategies. The month's crime profile reflects a combination of urban dynamics and seasonal factors, requiring a nuanced approach to community safety.

October 2024 saw a 300% increase in 'other crime' reports, rising from two to eight incidents. This category, which includes non-specific criminal activities, has surged dramatically and may reflect underreported or evolving crime patterns. Concurrently, bicycle theft and theft from the person each doubled compared to the previous month, highlighting vulnerabilities in personal security. These increases occur alongside a 42% gap in violent crimes compared to the UK average, with 79 incidents reported—3.8 per 1,000 residents. Anti-social behaviour also rose sharply, 40% above the UK average, with 37 incidents recorded. While vehicle crime and burglary both declined, these reductions were modest (37.5% and 16.7% respectively), and may be influenced by seasonal factors such as shorter daylight hours. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in areas where anti-social behaviour and violent incidents are concentrated.

Coalville's crime rate in October 2024 rose to 10.3 per 1,000 residents, a 16.7% increase from the previous month's 8.8 per 1,000. This marks a notable shift from the local trend, with the monthly exposure figure showing one reported crime for every 98 residents over the course of October. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of seven crimes reported each day, a figure that underscores the density of incidents within the built-up area. When contextualised against the UK average, Coalville's rate is 27.2% higher, highlighting a significant divergence in local crime patterns compared to the national average. This increase is not evenly distributed across crime types, with violent and sexual offences, anti-social behaviour, and shoplifting all surpassing UK averages by substantial margins. The population context further illustrates the impact: with 21,069 residents, the 216 reported crimes translate to a frequency that is both measurable and concerning for local communities.
