Corsham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Corsham's crime rate in April 2025 was 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a figure that places it 61% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance, consistent with the area's historical trend of low crime, reflects a combination of community resilience and environmental factors. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences (56.7% of total), followed by anti-social behaviour (13.3%). These figures align with Corsham's character as a largely rural built-up area within Wiltshire, where the absence of major urban centres or high-density housing likely contributes to lower levels of property crime. Seasonal factors in April—such as the Easter period and increased outdoor activity—may have influenced crime patterns, though the overall rate remained stable compared to other months in the year. The area's violent crime rate (1.7 per 1,000) was 35% below the UK average, a disparity that could be attributed to Corsham's relatively small population and the absence of high-risk environments like nightlife districts or major transport hubs. The low incidence of theft from the person (0.1 per 1,000) and shoplifting (0.1 per 1,000) further supports the notion that the area's demographics and geography contribute to its crime profile. While the slight increase in violence and sexual offences (+6.3%) requires monitoring, the overall trajectory remains one of sustained safety compared to national benchmarks.

April 2025 saw a 16.8% month-on-month decline in Corsham's overall crime rate, driven by sharp reductions in public order offences (-75%), criminal damage and arson (-50%), and vehicle crime (-50%). This contrasted with a 6.3% increase in violence and sexual offences, which remained 35% below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. The most striking shift was the 100% rise in theft from the person, a category that saw zero reports in March. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour continued to be significantly lower than the UK average (70% below), and burglary rates (0.2 per 1,000) were 26% below the national figure of 0.3 per 1,000. These patterns suggest that while certain categories of crime are fluctuating, the area's overall security remains strong relative to the UK. For residents, the 75% drop in public order offences provides a tangible benefit, reflecting fewer disturbances in communal spaces.

Corsham's crime rate in April 2025 stood at 3.0 per 1,000 residents, a 16.8% decline from the previous month's 3.6 per 1,000. This downward trend positions the area as one of the safest in the UK, with its overall rate 61% below the national average. On a daily basis, the area saw approximately one crime reported per day over the 30-day period, a figure that underscores the low frequency of incidents. When scaled to the local population of 10,057, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 335 residents over the course of the month. Such a ratio suggests that the likelihood of an individual encountering crime is significantly lower than in areas with higher rates. The reduction in public order offences and vehicle crime, both down by 50%, alongside the 75% drop in criminal damage and arson, further reinforces the stability of the area. These figures, when contextualised against the UK's broader crime profile, highlight Corsham's consistent performance in maintaining low levels of disorder and property-related crime.
