Coalville Crime Rate August 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coalville's crime profile in August 2025 reveals a stark contrast between its local patterns and the UK average. The area's overall crime rate of 10.1 per 1,000 residents—24.7% above the UK's 8.1—highlights a persistent disparity that has remained consistent over recent months. The most striking outlier is the 28.6% share of anti-social behaviour, which not only dominates the crime mix but also sits 99% above the UK average. This category, often linked to public spaces and social interactions, may reflect the area's built-up urban character and the pressures of summer tourism. Violence and sexual offences, at 31% of total crimes, also exceed the UK average by 8%, suggesting a combination of local demographics and seasonal factors. Shoplifting and public order offences, both 11% and 21% above UK averages respectively, further indicate a pattern of crimes tied to retail environments and public spaces. The data aligns with August's seasonal context: peak holiday activity, which may contribute to increased anti-social behaviour and property crimes as more people move through the area. However, the absence of a significant rise in violent crimes compared to other months suggests that local initiatives or community dynamics may be mitigating some risks. The balance between property crimes (44.5%) and violent crimes (31.0%) reflects a combination of urban living and transient populations, with anti-social behaviour acting as a key driver of the overall rate.

August 2025 saw a dramatic 300% increase in burglary, rising from 2 to 8 incidents. This spike, occurring alongside a 100% rise in bicycle theft and theft from the person, suggests a shift in criminal activity patterns. Anti-social behaviour remained the most common crime, accounting for 28.6% of all incidents, a figure 99% above the UK average. In contrast, vehicle crime fell 25% (8 to 6) and drug-related crimes dropped 80% (5 to 1), potentially reflecting seasonal changes in activity. The 99% gap between Coalville's anti-social behaviour rate and the UK average highlights a local challenge that may relate to the area's urban density and summer tourism. Residents might find the 100% increase in bicycle theft particularly concerning, as it indicates a targeted focus on vulnerable assets in the community.

Coalville's crime rate in August 2025 rose 8.7% from 9.3 to 10.1 per 1,000 residents, marking the first increase since March 2025. This places the area 24.7% above the UK average, a disparity that has widened slightly over the past year. Daily crime statistics show 7 reported incidents per day in August, a figure that, while consistent with recent months, reflects the area's higher-than-average exposure to crime. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for every 99 residents, a rate that, when compared to the UK's average monthly exposure, underscores Coalville's distinct position within national crime trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that residents face a higher frequency of crime than the UK average, particularly in categories like anti-social behaviour and violence. This suggests that local factors—such as the area's built-up urban character and seasonal dynamics—play a significant role in shaping crime patterns.
