Coalville Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Coalville's crime rate for September 2025 stood at 7.2 per 1,000 residents, placing it 2.7% below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000. This slight but consistent edge over the national benchmark suggests that local policing strategies and community factors may be contributing to a more stable crime environment. The most significant contributors to the area's crime profile were violence and sexual offences (38.2% of total incidents), followed closely by anti-social behaviour (16.5%) and public order offences (9.9%). These figures highlight the persistent challenge of managing disorderly conduct in Coalville's built-up area, a characteristic that aligns with its role as a commuter hub and its proximity to larger urban centres. The seasonal context of September—marked by the return of students to local universities and the resumption of school terms—may have influenced the crime profile, with increased daytime activity deterring certain types of criminal behaviour. However, the dominance of violence and sexual offences remains a concern, as these categories are often linked to factors such as alcohol consumption in public spaces or the density of transient populations. The area's crime profile also shows a notable gap compared to the UK average in specific categories: shoplifting and vehicle crime are significantly below the national rates, while public order offences and 'other crime' are substantially above. This mix of trends illustrates the unique challenges of Coalville, where its urban character coexists with pockets of lower-density residential areas that may be more vulnerable to specific types of crime. The interplay between these factors will require continued monitoring, particularly as the autumn months bring further changes in community dynamics and environmental conditions.

September 2025 saw a marked decline in several key crime categories, with anti-social behaviour falling by 59% compared to August. This drop, from 61 to 25 incidents, aligns with the seasonal transition as schools resumed and community activity shifted toward more structured routines. Burglary also fell sharply, halving from eight to four incidents, a trend consistent with the end of the summer holiday period when homes are more likely to be occupied. Theft from the person similarly dropped by 50%, from two to one incident, suggesting a potential correlation with increased visibility in public spaces during September's shorter evenings. However, other categories showed concerning upward trends: drugs-related crimes doubled to two incidents, and 'other crime' rose by 40%, from five to seven. These increases may reflect the combination of local factors, such as the influx of university students during freshers' week or changes in policing priorities. Public order offences also rose by 7.1%, from 14 to 15, a small but notable shift that could indicate challenges in managing public spaces during the transition to autumn.

Coalville's crime rate in September 2025 fell to 7.2 per 1,000 residents, a 28.7% decrease from August's 10.1 per 1,000. This marks the most significant monthly decline in the area's recent history, reflecting a shift in crime dynamics. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately five crimes reported each day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 139 residents, a monthly exposure rate that remains consistent with Coalville's broader pattern of low-to-moderate crime density. The population context is critical here: with 21,069 residents, the area's crime profile is shaped by its built-up character and proximity to North West Leicestershire's urban centres. This population scale means that even small absolute changes in crime numbers can translate to meaningful shifts in per-capita rates. The drop in August's rate suggests a potential seasonal effect, as September's back-to-school period typically brings increased foot traffic and community activity that may naturally deter certain types of crime.
