Liskeard Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Liskeard's crime rate stood at 7.4 per 1,000 residents, placing it 1.4% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. For a resident, this translates to a 1-in-135 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of the month. The area's crime profile was dominated by violent offences, which accounted for nearly half of all incidents (47.8%), significantly higher than the UK average of 40% for this category. Anti-social behaviour (15.2%) and criminal damage and arson (12.0%) followed as the next most common crime types, both exceeding UK rates by 4% and 70% respectively. This pattern may partly explain the seasonal context of November, when extended darkness and events like Bonfire Night could contribute to increased tensions in public spaces. While the overall rate was marginally above the UK average, specific categories like shoplifting (52% below UK rates) and vehicle crime (75% below UK rates) highlighted areas where Liskeard's crime profile diverges from national trends. The balance between property and violent crime also shifted, with violent offences far outpacing property crimes (44 vs 19), a contrast that may reflect local factors such as the built-up area's demographics and social dynamics.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in Liskeard's crime profile, with public order offences surging by 150% (from 4 to 10 incidents), marking the most dramatic increase of the month. This rise could be linked to the timing of Bonfire Night and the start of the festive shopping season, which often brings heightened foot traffic and potential for conflicts in public spaces. Burglary also rose sharply, doubling from 0 to 1 incident, though this remains a rare occurrence in the area. Conversely, other theft and other crime categories both declined sharply—by 81.8% and 75% respectively—possibly reflecting seasonal factors such as reduced outdoor activity or the closure of certain retail outlets. The violence and sexual offences category remained significantly elevated, with a rate of 3.6 per 1,000 residents (40% above the UK average), a figure that would be of particular interest to local residents and community groups. Meanwhile, shoplifting remained lower than the UK average (52% below), suggesting that local retail environments may have effective measures in place to deter such offences. These fluctuations illustrate how localised factors, from seasonal events to community initiatives, can shape crime trends in distinct ways.

Liskeard's crime rate in November 2025 fell to 7.4 per 1,000 residents, a 10.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 8.3 per 1,000. This decline, while modest, may reflect the natural ebb and flow of seasonal crime patterns, particularly as November transitions into the quieter winter months. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 3 crimes per day over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises the overall rate in more tangible terms for residents. When viewed through the lens of population, this means that over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 135 residents—a statistic that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the importance of community vigilance. Comparing this to the UK average, Liskeard's rate remains only marginally higher, with the disparity primarily concentrated in categories like violence and sexual offences. This suggests that while the area is broadly in line with national trends, targeted efforts to address specific crime types could further reduce the overall rate. The monthly exposure figure also highlights how crime rates, when scaled to population size, can provide a clearer picture of risk for individuals living in the area.
