Coalville Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Coalville's crime profile in June 2025, accounting for 44.1% of all reported crimes and marking a 50% increase over the UK average for this category. This dominance underscores the area's distinct challenge compared to the national trend, where violent crime typically constitutes around 2.9 per 1,000 residents. The overall crime rate of 9.7 per 1,000 residents places Coalville 19.8% above the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000, a gap that highlights the need for targeted interventions. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may contribute to increased public visibility of crimes, particularly in areas with high foot traffic such as town centres. Anti-social behaviour also features prominently, at 19.1% of total crimes, a figure 34% above the UK average. This pattern aligns with the characteristics of a built-up area, where social interactions in public spaces can amplify such incidents. Public order offences, though smaller in volume, are 53% above the UK average, suggesting a possible link to the area's commercial activity and the associated pressures of managing public spaces. The crime mix shows a clear skew toward violent and disorderly crimes, with property crimes making up just 23.5% of the total. This contrast with the national profile, where property crimes often dominate, may reflect Coalville's specific demographic and geographic factors, such as a mix of residential and commercial zones that create unique conditions for crime patterns.

June 2025 saw a 100% increase in theft from the person, with one incident reported compared to zero in May. This spike, though small in absolute terms, may partly explain heightened local concern. Shoplifting also rose sharply, with incidents increasing by 77.8% to 16 cases—over double the UK average for this category. Burglary cases climbed by 75.0%, reaching 7 incidents, a figure that exceeds the UK average by 7%. Violence and sexual offences remain high, at 50% above the UK average. Conversely, categories like criminal damage and arson fell by 50.0%, and other theft dropped by 60.0%, suggesting shifting patterns in criminal activity. The 44.1% share of violent crimes in the total crime mix underscores the area's unique challenges, with property crimes accounting for just 23.5% of all reports. These shifts may reflect seasonal factors, such as increased foot traffic in retail areas during summer.

Coalville's crime rate in June 2025 rose 2.0% to 9.7 per 1,000 residents from 9.5 per 1,000 in May, reflecting a slight upward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 7 reported crimes per day over the month, a figure that aligns with typical summer patterns in built-up areas. Monthly exposure calculations show that over the course of June, one crime was reported for every 103 residents—a ratio that places the area in the upper range of UK built-up areas. This statistic is particularly relevant for local residents, as it illustrates the frequency of crime relative to population density. While the rate remains stable compared to previous months, the increase in violent crime categories suggests a need for continued monitoring. The population-scaled perspective highlights that, despite the rise, the absolute number of crimes remains manageable for a town of Coalville's size, though the concentration in specific categories warrants attention.
