Codsall Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Codsall’s crime rate in June 2025 stood at 4.2 per 1,000 residents, 48.1% below the UK average of 8.1. This figure reflects a continuation of the area’s historically low crime profile, though emerging trends in specific categories require attention. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 33.3% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (27.8%) and criminal damage and arson (9.3%). The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer—likely influenced patterns, with longer daylight hours potentially reducing opportunities for nocturnal crimes while increasing foot traffic in public spaces. However, the data also reveals a notable divergence in property crime trends: burglary rose sharply to five incidents (0.4 per 1,000), 43% above the UK average, while shoplifting fell by 70% compared to May. This contrast may stem from changing consumer behaviour during the summer, with fewer impulse purchases in retail environments and increased security measures in residential areas. The overall crime rate remains significantly lower than national benchmarks, consistent with Codsall’s position as a built-up area within South Staffordshire with limited industrial or commercial density. Such factors likely contribute to the area’s lower vulnerability to property crime, though the recent rise in burglary suggests a need for further analysis of local security practices and potential vulnerabilities.

June 2025 saw three crime categories surge by 100% compared to May: robbery, burglary, and drugs. This spike in burglary—rising from zero to five incidents—marks the first recorded instances of this category in the area for the year, a shift that contrasts with Codsall’s usual low property crime rates. Meanwhile, shoplifting fell sharply by 70%, from 10 to three incidents, likely reflecting seasonal retail patterns as summer shopping began. Violence and sexual offences remained the most common crime type (33.3% of total), though their rate (1.4 per 1,000) was 51% below the UK average. The UK comparison for burglary (43% above the national average) highlights a unique anomaly, suggesting local factors such as increased property vulnerability during warmer months. These changes underscore the need for targeted measures in property crime prevention, even as overall rates remain historically low.

Codsall's crime rate in June 2025 dropped by 8.6% compared to May, falling from 4.6 to 4.2 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with a broader trend of reduced crime during summer months. Locally, the average resident faced a 1-in-236 chance of experiencing a crime over the course of June, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for the area’s 12,752 population. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately two crimes reported each day, a rate that remains lower than the UK average. While the overall crime rate remains 48.1% below the national average, the shift in crime mix—particularly the rise in burglary and robbery—suggests evolving patterns that warrant closer observation. This daily context helps residents gauge the likelihood of encountering crime in their daily lives, though the low absolute numbers indicate a generally secure environment.
