Liss Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

October 2025 saw Liss experience a 46.8% rise in its overall crime rate, climbing from 2.4 to 3.5 per 1,000 residents. Despite this increase, the area remains 54.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000, reflecting a consistently low-crime profile. The most significant category was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 54.6% of all crimes, though this rate still sits 29% below the UK average. Property crimes, including burglary and theft from the person, made up 45.4% of reported incidents, with burglary alone exceeding the UK average by 67%. Seasonal factors, such as darker evenings and Halloween, may partly explain the rise in violent crime, as these conditions can influence patterns of outdoor activity and visibility. The area's built-up nature within East Hampshire, with its mix of residential and commercial spaces, likely contributes to its distinct crime profile, where property-related offences are more common than in rural areas but still remain relatively rare compared to national trends. This data illustrates the combination of local geography, seasonal rhythms, and policing effectiveness in shaping crime trends.

Violence and sexual offences in Liss saw a 300% increase in October 2025, rising from three to 12 incidents. This surge, coupled with a 100% rise in theft from the person and burglary, marks a sharp departure from September's figures. While violent crime remains 29% below the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000, burglary and theft from the person exceed national rates by 67% and 114% respectively, indicating local vulnerabilities. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage both declined—by 66.7% and 33.3% respectively—suggesting a mixed picture of activity. For residents, the daily crime count of one incident per day offers a tangible measure of risk, though the overall rate remains far below the UK average.

Liss's crime rate in October 2025 rose to 3.5 per 1,000 residents from 2.4 per 1,000 in September, a 46.8% increase. This shift, while notable, still places the area 54.5% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. Daily crime statistics reveal an average of one reported crime per day over the month, a figure that may help residents contextualise local safety. Monthly exposure shows that, on average, one crime occurred for every 287 residents—a ratio that, when compared to the UK's broader context, underscores Liss's relatively low crime environment despite the recent uptick. The population of 6,324 means that even small changes in crime numbers can influence aggregate statistics, but the overall pattern remains consistent with Liss's historical position as a low-crime built-up area within East Hampshire.
