Liss Crime Rate July 2024 | Monthly Statistics

For residents of Liss, the crime rate in July 2024 translates to a per-capita risk that is 70.2% below the UK average, with 2.5 crimes reported per 1,000 residents. This figure, while modest, is consistent with the area's character as a built-up district within East Hampshire, where low population density and strong community engagement may contribute to the reduced likelihood of criminal activity. The most common crimes reported were violence and sexual offences, accounting for 37.5% of all incidents, followed by other theft and anti-social behaviour, each making up 18.8% of the total. These figures align with the seasonal context of July, a peak summer month marked by school holidays, increased tourism, and outdoor events, which can influence both crime types and their frequencies. Violence and sexual offences, while the most prevalent category in Liss, remain significantly lower than the UK average of 2.9 per 1,000, a 65% gap that suggests local factors such as effective policing or community cohesion may be at play. Other theft, though rising by 100% month-on-month, still lags behind the UK average by 15%, indicating that while certain categories are fluctuating, the overall profile of crime in Liss remains distinct from the national picture. The low rate of vehicle crime — 0.2 per 1,000 — may reflect the area's limited reliance on car-based transport or the presence of secure parking facilities. As with all crime data, these patterns are influenced by a combination of geographic, demographic, and seasonal factors, none of which can be definitively isolated without further investigation.

July 2024 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with other theft and possession of weapons each increasing by 100% compared to the previous month. Anti-social behaviour also rose by 50%, though this remains well below the UK average for the category. Conversely, public order offences, burglary, and vehicle crime all declined by 50%, reflecting a potential seasonal dip in certain types of incidents. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark contrast between Liss and the UK: violence and sexual offences in Liss are 65% below the national average, while possession of weapons is an exception, sitting 186% above the UK rate. This anomaly may warrant closer examination, though can be inferred from the data alone. For residents, the most immediate insight is the rarity of crime — with only one reported incident per day on average — a statistic that offers reassurance despite the spikes in specific categories.

Liss's crime rate in July 2024 stood at 2.5 per 1,000 residents, a 35.9% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.0 per 1,000. This decline suggests a continued trend of lower crime exposure for residents compared to June. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day over the 31-day period, reflecting a relatively low frequency of incidents. When scaled to the population, the monthly exposure translates to one reported crime for roughly every 395 residents — a figure that underscores the rarity of crime in this built-up area. While the UK average crime rate is significantly higher at 8.4 per 1,000, Liss's residents face a markedly lower risk, with the area's rate being 70.2% below the national average. This contrast highlights the effectiveness of local policing or community factors in maintaining safety, though the exact reasons remain speculative without further data. The daily and monthly figures offer a tangible sense of risk: a resident has a 1-in-395 chance of being directly affected by a reported crime over the course of a month, a statistic that contextualises the area's security in everyday terms.
