Coalville Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coalville's crime profile in April 2025 reveals a distinct balance of violent and property-related offences, shaped by both local demographics and seasonal factors. With a crime rate of 8.6 per 1,000 — 11.7% above the UK average — the area's most prevalent crime type is violence and sexual offences, which account for 40.3% of all incidents. This figure, at 3.5 per 1,000, is 34% higher than the UK average, suggesting a concentration of violent crime that may be linked to the area's urban character and the increased outdoor activity typical of April. Anti-social behaviour follows closely, contributing 14.9% of reported crimes, while public order offences — at 0.9 per 1,000 — are 67% above the UK average, possibly reflecting tensions in public spaces during the Easter period. The seasonal context of spring, with its longer evenings and heightened social activity, may partly explain these trends. Property crimes are less dominant than in other areas, with shoplifting and vehicle crime both below UK averages. This contrast could indicate a combination of local policing efforts and the influence of Coalville's built-up environment, which may limit opportunities for certain types of property crime compared to more sprawling or rural settings. The data also shows a marked disparity in the distribution of crime types, with violent crime dominating over property-related offences — a pattern consistent with areas experiencing higher levels of social interaction and potential conflict. This balance of crime types, when viewed alongside the UK comparison, highlights both the challenges and unique characteristics of Coalville's crime profile.

April 2025 saw significant shifts in crime patterns, with other thefts surging by 225% (from 4 to 13 incidents) — a stark contrast to the previous month's figures. This increase, combined with a 100% rise in vehicle crime (from 0 to 5) and bicycle theft (from 0 to 1), suggests a possible seasonal or situational factor influencing property-related offences. Meanwhile, violent crime remains a dominant concern, with violence and sexual offences at 3.5 per 1,000 (34% above the UK average), highlighting an area of sustained risk. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average (1.3 vs 1.3 per 1,000), accounted for 14.9% of all crimes, indicating persistent community tensions. The sharp decline in robbery (66.7%) and drugs-related offences (57.1%) may reflect targeted policing efforts or changes in local dynamics. For residents, the 225% jump in other thefts is a concrete reminder of the need for vigilance in securing personal property, particularly in light of the month's increased outdoor activity linked to Easter.

Coalville's crime rate in April 2025 (8.6 per 1,000) represents a 21.3% decline from the previous month's rate of 10.9 per 1,000. This downward trend may partly explain the reduced frequency of certain offences, such as robbery and drugs-related crimes, which fell by 66.7% and 57.1% respectively. However, the rate remains 11.7% above the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, highlighting persistent local challenges. Daily crime figures show an average of six crimes reported per day in April, a statistic that underscores the need for consistent community vigilance. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 116 residents, a monthly exposure rate that, while lower than some areas, still reflects the impact of crime on daily life. This figure, when contextualised with Coalville's population of 21,069, illustrates that crime is not an isolated incident but a recurring concern affecting a significant portion of the community. The contrast between the month-on-month decline and the ongoing deviation from the UK average suggests that while some initiatives may be showing results, broader systemic factors continue to influence local crime patterns.
