Pheasey Crime Rate December 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In December 2025, Pheasey recorded 28 crimes across its population of 9,823 residents, translating to a crime rate of 2.9 per 1,000—a figure that places the area 58.6% below the UK average of 7.0. This stark contrast with national figures highlights the relatively low prevalence of crime in this built-up area of Walsall, though the data also reveals nuanced patterns. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 39.3% of total incidents (11 cases), followed by vehicle crime (32.1%, 9 cases). While violent crime remains a concern, its rate is 57% below the UK average, a disparity that may reflect the area’s smaller scale and possibly lower population density compared to larger urban centres. Seasonal factors appear to have influenced the crime profile, with December’s dark evenings and Christmas shopping peak likely contributing to fluctuations. For instance, the drop in criminal damage and arson by 66.7% could be tied to seasonal closures or reduced foot traffic, whereas the sharp rise in vehicle crime may reflect increased car usage during the holiday period. These findings suggest a community where crime is infrequent but not absent, with local conditions—such as the presence of retail hubs or residential areas—shaping the types of incidents that occur. The data also underscores the importance of contextualising crime rates within the area’s specific demographics and geography, as Pheasey’s unique profile may differ from broader UK trends in ways that require further exploration.

December 2025 revealed stark shifts in Pheasey’s crime profile, with notable increases in other theft (+200%) and other crime (+100%), alongside a 38.9% drop in violence and sexual offences. These changes suggest a combination of seasonal and local factors. The 11 violent crimes recorded, though a decrease from November, still represent 39.3% of total incidents, a proportion significantly lower than the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. However, vehicle crime surged to 9 incidents, 143% above the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, raising questions about the area’s vulnerability to this category. The sharp rise in other theft—jumping from one to three incidents—could reflect heightened activity during the Christmas shopping period. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson fell by 66.7%, possibly linked to holiday-related closures or reduced vandalism during the festive season. These fluctuations underscore the need for targeted monitoring of emerging trends, such as the unexpected spike in vehicle crime, which may warrant further investigation into local transportation patterns or parking habits.

December 2025 saw Pheasey’s crime rate drop to 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a 30% decrease from the previous month’s 4.1. This brings the area’s monthly exposure to roughly one reported crime for every 351 residents, a figure that contextualises the low frequency of incidents in daily life. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 31-day month, a rate that reflects the sparse nature of criminal activity in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average, Pheasey’s overall crime rate remains significantly lower, but the population context reveals a unique local dynamic. With 9,823 residents, the area’s crime statistics suggest a community where incidents are infrequent enough to be noticeable when they occur. This contrast with the UK average highlights the effectiveness of local policing strategies or the influence of specific socioeconomic factors from the data alone. The shift from November to December also aligns with seasonal patterns, where holiday-related activity may have temporarily reduced certain types of crime, such as violent offences, while others, like vehicle crime, saw unexpected increases.
