Pheasey Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Pheasey's overall crime rate in October 2025 stood at 2.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 62.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This built-up area within Walsall continues to demonstrate a consistently low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 35.7% of all reported crimes, followed by vehicle crime (14.3%) and public order offences (14.3%). The seasonal context of October—marked by shorter days, the clocks going back, and Halloween—likely contributes to the rise in public order incidents, which surged by 300% compared to September. While the area's overall safety remains commendable, the increase in public order offences during this period suggests a need for community vigilance, particularly in areas with higher foot traffic or during evening hours. The low rate of vehicle crime (0.4 per 1,000) aligns with the UK average, indicating that local infrastructure or resident behaviour may be mitigating risks to vehicles. However, the sharp increase in public order offences raises questions about whether seasonal factors, such as increased social gatherings or the timing of Halloween, are exacerbating anti-social behaviour in Pheasey. This built-up area, which likely includes residential and commercial zones, may benefit from targeted initiatives to address emerging patterns without compromising its overall safety record.

Public order offences in October surged by 300% compared to September, climbing from one to four incidents. This sharp increase, alongside a 100% rise in vehicle crime and drug-related offences, signals a shift in crime patterns. While violence and sexual offences remain the most common category (35.7% of total crimes), the rise in public order incidents now outpaces other categories. Vehicle crime in Pheasey (0.4 per 1,000) matches the UK average of 0.4 per 1,000, a rare parity for this area. Residents should be aware that the 300% jump in public order offences—often linked to anti-social behaviour in public spaces—has occurred during October's darker evenings and Halloween celebrations. Conversely, robbery and criminal damage fell by 50% and 33.3% respectively, reflecting a reduction in targeted attacks and property damage.

Pheasey's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 33.2% compared to September's 2.1 per 1,000, reaching 2.9 per 1,000. While this increase is notable, the area remains 62.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, residents can expect roughly one crime reported per day in Pheasey, a figure that, while unchanged from prior months, reflects the area's consistently low crime profile. Over the course of October, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 351 residents—a monthly exposure rate that highlights the rarity of incidents in this built-up area of Walsall. When scaled to the population of 9,823, this rate underscores that most residents will not experience crime during the month. The increase in public order offences, however, suggests a need for heightened vigilance in communal spaces, particularly as Halloween approaches and evenings grow darker.
