Liss Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Liss, 2.7 crimes were reported in July 2025—a rate 68.6% below the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000. This low figure reflects the area’s character as a relatively tranquil built-up area within East Hampshire, where tourism and festivals may contribute to seasonal fluctuations in public order incidents. The most common crimes were public order offences (35.3% of total), followed by violence and sexual offences (17.7%) and vehicle crime (11.8%). These proportions align with patterns typical of small towns with seasonal events, where public spaces see increased foot traffic during summer. While the overall rate remains significantly lower than the UK average, public order offences stood out as 56% above the national benchmark, suggesting localised pressures in managing crowds during festivals or events. The low level of property crime—only 5 incidents (29.4% of total)—further supports the area’s generally secure environment, though the absence of major retail hubs or high-density housing may limit opportunities for theft. July’s peak summer season, with schools out and tourism at its height, likely influenced the mix of crimes reported, with anti-social behaviour and public order issues more prominent than in other months. This per-capita perspective illustrates that residents face minimal risk of serious crime, but occasional challenges in crowd management may require community attention.

July saw significant shifts in crime patterns compared to June. Drugs-related offences doubled from zero to one incident, marking a 100% increase, while anti-social behaviour also rose by 100% (from 1 to 2). Public order offences increased by 50% (from 4 to 6), potentially linked to summer festivals or events attracting larger crowds. Conversely, vehicle crime fell sharply by 66.7% (from 6 to 2), possibly due to reduced car usage during holidays or increased security measures. Violence and sexual offences dropped by 50% (from 6 to 3), though this category remains 84% below the UK average. Public order offences in Liss were 56% higher than the UK average of 0.6 per 1,000, highlighting a localised challenge. For context, one resident in Liss faces a 1-in-372 chance of experiencing a reported crime over the course of July, a figure that underscores the area’s overall safety despite specific spikes in certain categories. These fluctuations suggest that while the area’s low crime rate is largely maintained, targeted efforts may be needed to address public order issues during peak tourist periods.

Liss’s crime rate in July 2025 (2.7 per 1,000) marked a 29.2% decrease from June’s 3.8 per 1,000, reflecting a continued trend of declining crime. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one reported crime per day, a figure that may seem high in absolute terms but translates to a 1-in-372 chance for any given resident over the course of the month. This monthly exposure rate is exceptionally low compared to national averages, illustrating the area’s strong safety record. With a population of 6,324, Liss’s crime statistics demonstrate that residents are far less likely to encounter crime than the UK average—particularly in property-related offences, which were 23% below the national rate for vehicle crime and 81% below for anti-social behaviour. The contrast between Liss and larger urban centres is stark: while the UK average includes higher volumes of violent crime and burglary, Liss’s built-up area status within East Hampshire likely benefits from lower population density and fewer commercial hubs. This per-capita perspective reinforces that daily life in Liss remains largely free from significant criminal activity, with most incidents falling into categories that are either rare or manageable through local policing efforts.
