Pheasey Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In July 2025, Pheasey maintained its status as a low-crime area within Walsall, with a total crime rate of 2.6 per 1,000 residents—69.8% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. The crime profile was dominated by property-related offences, which accounted for 52% of all incidents, compared to 24% for violent crimes. This stark imbalance suggests a focus on non-violent activities, possibly influenced by the summer season and the area’s built-up character, which may see increased outdoor activity and events. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences (24% of total), though this category saw a significant 66.7% drop from the previous month, likely reflecting seasonal patterns such as reduced late-night gatherings or enhanced policing during festivals. Criminal damage and arson (20% of total) rose sharply by 150%, a spike that could be attributed to the peak of summer events or unsecured public spaces. Vehicle crime, at 20% of total incidents, remained above the UK average by 28%, linked to Pheasey’s proximity to transport routes or the presence of parked vehicles in residential areas. Anti-social behaviour also declined by 25%, aligning with the general trend of reduced crime during the summer months. The area’s low crime rate, combined with the seasonal context of July—a time of festivals and open-air events—highlights the interplay between community activity and crime patterns. While property-related offences remain a concern, the overall safety profile of Pheasey contrasts sharply with national trends, indicating a need for targeted strategies to address rising non-violent crimes without compromising the area’s generally secure environment.

July 2025 saw a stark shift in crime dynamics, with property crimes accounting for 52% of all reported incidents compared to 24% for violent crimes. This imbalance suggests a focus on non-violent offences, though the 150% increase in criminal damage and arson—rising from 2 to 5 cases—raises questions about local factors such as vandalism or unsecured properties. Conversely, violent crime fell sharply, with violence and sexual offences dropping by two-thirds (from 18 to 6 cases), a trend consistent with summer patterns where outdoor activity and community events may reduce opportunities for violent encounters. Vehicle crime remained above the UK average by 28%, a figure that could reflect Pheasey’s proximity to major roads or the presence of parked vehicles in residential areas. For residents, the 69.8% reduction in overall crime compared to the UK average offers reassurance, though the rise in property-related offences warrants continued vigilance.

Pheasey's crime rate in July 2025 dropped to 2.6 per 1,000 residents, a 35.8% decrease from the previous month’s 4.0 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader seasonal trends, as summer months often see reduced violent crime due to fewer late-night gatherings. Locally, the daily crime count averaged one incident per day, a figure that reflects the area’s generally low crime profile compared to national averages. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 393 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively safe environment for Pheasey’s population of 9,823. When contextualised against the UK’s overall rate of 8.6 per 1,000, this monthly exposure highlights the area’s distinct position as a low-crime built-up area within Walsall. The reduction in violent crime, particularly the 66.7% drop in violence and sexual offences, may partly explain the shift in crime mix, though local factors such as community engagement or policing efforts could also play a role.
