Codsall Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Codsall, 3.9 crimes were reported in December 2025—44.3% below the UK average of 7.0 per 1,000. This per-capita perspective translates to a daily risk of roughly 2 crimes in the built-up area, a figure that, while not negligible, is significantly lower than national trends. The most prevalent crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 40% of all incidents, though these remained 38% below the UK average. Public order offences, while only 14% of total crimes, saw a 600% surge compared to November, suggesting a sharp seasonal shift. This spike may be linked to the Christmas shopping peak, party season, and the impact of dark evenings on community interactions. Anti-social behaviour, at 10% of total crimes, fell by 28.6%, possibly reflecting efforts by local authorities to manage crowds or a temporary reduction in alcohol-fuelled incidents. The area's crime profile contrasts with broader UK patterns, where property crimes typically dominate. In Codsall, violent crimes outpaced property crimes (20 vs 18), a balance that could reflect the area's compact nature and the influence of local social dynamics. Seasonal factors—such as the closure of homes during holidays and the increased foot traffic in retail areas—likely contribute to the month's crime patterns, though these remain speculative without further data. The low overall rate suggests that Codsall's residents face a relatively low risk of encountering crime, but the fluctuations in specific categories highlight the need for ongoing monitoring of local conditions.

December 2025 saw a dramatic 600% increase in public order offences, rising from 1 to 7 cases. This surge, likely tied to holiday-related disruptions and increased social activity, contrasts with a 28.6% drop in anti-social behaviour, which fell from 7 to 5. Burglary and vehicle crime both doubled, with 5 and 1 incidents respectively, despite these categories being below the UK average. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type at 40% of total incidents, yet they were 38% below the UK rate of 2.6 per 1,000. The sharp rise in public order offences—now 1.6 per 1,000—could indicate challenges in managing crowds during Christmas shopping or festive events. Residents might find the 600% jump in public order crimes particularly noteworthy, as it dwarfs other month-on-month changes.

Codsall's crime rate in December 2025 rose to 3.9 per 1,000 residents, a 28.1% increase from the previous month's 3.1. This shift translates to roughly 2 reported crimes per day, a figure that, while low, reflects the month's unique dynamics. Over the course of December, one crime occurred for every 255 residents, a monthly exposure rate that contextualises risk in everyday terms. The population of 12,752 means that the average resident faces a statistically manageable risk, though the rise in public order offences and burglary warrants attention. Comparing daily crime counts to broader UK trends is not feasible here, as national data does not provide equivalent granularity. However, Codsall's position as a built-up area within South Staffordshire suggests that local factors—such as seasonal retail activity and holiday-related patterns—play a role in shaping this month's figures.
