Liversedge Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Liversedge's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 8.3 per 1,000 residents, placing the area 13.7% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This figure, while not alarmingly high, highlights a persistent gap between local and national trends. The breakdown of crimes reveals a stark focus on violent and property-related incidents, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 40% of all reported crimes—far exceeding their share in the UK context. This concentration of violent crime may be influenced by the area's built-up character and the seasonal dynamics of November, which includes darker evenings and the heightened activity around Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, criminal damage and arson incidents rose sharply, with 16 cases reported—89% above the UK average. Such spikes could be linked to the increased visibility of fireworks or the lack of immediate oversight during late-night events. Anti-social behaviour, though lower than the UK average, still accounted for 10.4% of all crimes, suggesting ongoing challenges in managing community disturbances. The interplay of these factors—seasonal events, population density, and localized enforcement priorities—likely contributes to the area's distinct crime profile. As the year progresses, monitoring these trends alongside broader socioeconomic indicators will be crucial for understanding the drivers of Liversedge's crime profile.

November 2025 saw sharp increases in theft from the person and possession of weapons, both rising by 100% compared to October. This surge, though small in absolute terms (one incident each), may reflect heightened tensions during darker evenings or the influence of seasonal events like Bonfire Night. Conversely, shoplifting fell by 28.6%, possibly linked to reduced foot traffic during Black Friday promotions or increased retail security measures. Violent crimes, which make up 40% of all incidents, remain 28% above the UK average, with 54 cases reported—a figure that underscores persistent challenges in addressing interpersonal violence. Meanwhile, anti-social behaviour rates dipped slightly below the UK average, suggesting localized efforts may be yielding some benefits. These fluctuations illustrate how crime patterns can shift rapidly in response to both seasonal and community-specific factors.

Liversedge's crime rate in November 2025 rose to 8.3 per 1,000 residents, marking a 5.4% increase from the previous month's 7.9 per 1,000. This shift suggests a slight uptick in overall criminal activity, though the daily crime context remains relatively low—approximately four crimes reported each day. Over the course of the month, one crime occurred for roughly every 120 residents, a figure that, while modest, underscores the persistent presence of crime in this built-up area. When compared to the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, Liversedge's rate remains 13.7% higher, highlighting a continued divergence from national trends. The population-scaled perspective reveals that, despite the area's relatively small size, the concentration of certain crime types—such as violence and criminal damage—may amplify local concerns. This data invites a closer examination of localized factors, such as seasonal events or community dynamics, that could influence these figures.
