Codsall Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Codsall's November 2025 crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents marked a significant 57.5% reduction compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This performance, while consistent with the area's historically low crime profile, revealed distinct patterns in the types of offences recorded. Violence and sexual offences dominated with 17 cases (43.6% of total crimes), followed by anti-social behaviour (18.0%) and other theft (15.4%). These figures align with Codsall's character as a built-up area within South Staffordshire, where seasonal factors such as Bonfire Night and Black Friday shopping likely influence crime dynamics. The relatively high proportion of violent crimes may be attributed to the area's compact nature, where social interactions are more concentrated. However, the overall rate remains well below UK averages, with violence and sexual offences at 1.3 per 1,000 (49% below national levels) and anti-social behaviour at 0.6 per 1,000 (43% below UK norms). The seasonal context of November, with its extended darkness and holiday-related activity, may have contributed to the persistence of violent crime despite the overall decline. This suggests that while Codsall's crime profile is generally favorable, targeted prevention efforts may be warranted for specific categories.

November 2025 saw a 100% increase in possession of weapons, with one incident reported compared to none in October. This rise, though small in absolute terms, signals a potential shift in local criminal activity. Violent crimes rose by 13.3% (15 to 17), maintaining their position as the most common category at 43.6% of total crimes. This rate of 1.3 per 1,000 is 49% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, suggesting Codsall's violent crime profile remains significantly lower than national benchmarks. Conversely, public order offences fell by 85.7% (from 7 to 1), possibly linked to reduced Bonfire Night-related incidents. The increase in other theft (20%) to 6 cases reflects a 2% gap below the UK average for this category, illustrating a combination of local retail activity and crime prevention measures.

Codsall's crime rate in November 2025 dropped by 40.9% compared to the previous month, falling from 5.2 to 3.1 per 1,000 residents. This decline suggests a notable shift in local crime patterns, though the absolute numbers remain low by UK standards. On a daily basis, the area recorded roughly one crime per day over the 30-day period, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure rate of one crime for every 327 residents. While this metric provides context for individual risk, it does not account for local variations in population density or community-specific factors. The drop from October to November aligns with seasonal patterns, as darker evenings and the conclusion of the Black Friday shopping period may have influenced both perpetrator and victim behavior. However, the persistence of violent crimes at 17 total cases highlights a consistent challenge for local authorities, even as overall rates decrease.
