Codsall Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

June 2024 marked a period of relative calm in Codsall, with an overall crime rate of 4.8 per 1,000 residents—41.5% below the UK average. This figure places the area firmly in the lower echelons of national crime statistics, a position consistent with its character as a built-up area within South Staffordshire, where community cohesion and local policing likely contribute to sustained low rates. Violence and sexual offences dominated the crime profile, accounting for 42.6% of all recorded incidents.0 per 1,000 remained significantly below the UK average of 2.8 per 1,000. Anti-social behaviour followed closely, representing 16.4% of crimes, with a rate of 0.8 per 1,000—43% below the UK benchmark. This pattern suggests that while violent crime remains the most frequent category, the area’s crime profile is characterised by a marked underperformance against national standards. Seasonal factors may also play a role: as the longest days of the year begin, increased visibility and community activity could deter certain types of crime. The absence of significant spikes in property crime—such as burglary or vehicle crime—further reinforces the idea that Codsall’s low crime rate is not merely a function of seasonal variation but reflects deeper structural factors, such as the presence of local amenities that foster a sense of security.

The most striking month-on-month shift in June 2024 was the 72.7% decline in public order offences, which dropped from 11 to 3. This decrease, though unexplained by the data, may be linked to seasonal factors such as longer daylight hours reducing opportunities for such incidents. Conversely, two categories saw 100% increases: 'Other crime' and 'Drugs', both rising from 0 to 1. These spikes, while small in absolute terms, suggest emerging trends warranting closer attention. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 42.6% of all crimes.0 per 1,000 was 28% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour and shoplifting also showed marked underperformance against national figures, with rates 43% and 3% below UK averages respectively. This mix of declines and isolated increases illustrates a combination of local dynamics and broader regional patterns.

Codsall’s crime rate in June 2024 stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a 17.6% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.8 per 1,000. This decline, though modest, aligns with seasonal patterns typical of summer months, when outdoor activity increases but certain crime types—such as public order offences—see reductions. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately 2 crimes per day, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of June, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 209 residents, a monthly exposure rate that reflects the area’s relatively low overall crime profile compared to the UK average. This statistic underscores that, while Codsall remains a place where crime is infrequent, residents are not insulated from isolated incidents. The population-scaled perspective also highlights that the area’s crime picture is shaped by its specific demographics and geography, which may influence the types of offences recorded.
