Liss Crime Rate December 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime mix in Liss during December 2024 reveals a balanced but low-level profile, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 40% of all reported incidents. This category, at 1.0 per 1,000 residents, is 61% below the UK average, a figure that underscores the area's relative safety. Other theft and public order offences each contributed 13.3% of total crimes, both significantly below national averages. The low overall crime rate (2.4 per 1,000) reflects a 66.2% deficit compared to the UK's 7.1 per 1,000, a gap that aligns with Liss's character as a built-up area within East Hampshire, likely characterised by a mix of residential and low-density commercial zones. Seasonal factors, including the Christmas shopping peak and extended dark evenings, may have influenced the prevalence of public order issues and theft. However, the absence of major spikes in property crime suggests that Liss's infrastructure and community dynamics may mitigate opportunities for such offences. The balance of violent and non-violent crimes indicates a combination of local demographics and seasonal pressures, with no single factor dominating the crime profile.

December 2024 saw a 14.3% reduction in violence and sexual offences, falling from 7 to 6 incidents, a shift that may reflect seasonal changes in public behaviour or increased community vigilance. Conversely, other theft, public order, and robbery all increased by 100%, with each category rising from 1 to 2 incidents. This spike in non-violent crimes contrasts with the drop in violent offences, suggesting a possible reallocation of criminal activity during the festive season. Robbery in Liss was 122% above the UK average, though the absolute number remains minimal, indicating a rare but significant deviation. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime patterns, with public order issues and theft emerging as focal points in December.

Liss's crime rate in December 2024 (2.4 per 1,000 residents) reflects a 16.8% decline from the previous month's rate of 2.9 per 1,000, underscoring a continued trend of reduced criminal activity. This monthly drop aligns with the area's historically low crime profile, which is 66.2% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded an average of 0 crimes per day, a figure that highlights the rarity of incidents in Liss. Over the course of December, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 422 residents, a statistic that contextualises the low monthly exposure for local residents.

However, the slight uptick in certain categories, such as robbery, warrants attention despite their small absolute numbers.
