Liverpool Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 100 residents in Liverpool, one crime is reported each month, translating to a daily risk of encountering 183 incidents in February 2025. This rate of 10.1 per 1,000 residents places Liverpool 50.7% above the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000, a disparity that underscores the city’s distinct crime profile. The most common crimes—violence and sexual offences (38.1% of total), public order (10.3%), and drugs (10.0%)—reflect a pattern consistent with Liverpool’s status as a major urban centre with a combination of social and economic factors. The winter season, typically marked by lower outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull, may have contributed to the persistence of indoor-related crimes such as violence and drug-related offences. However, the city’s high population density and the concentration of social services in certain areas may also exacerbate the prevalence of public order issues. While the overall crime rate remained stable compared to the previous month, the seasonal context suggests that the coming months may see shifts in crime patterns as outdoor activity resumes. This data illustrates the lived experience of residents, where the risk of encountering crime is not just a statistical abstraction but a daily reality shaped by the city’s demographics and infrastructure.

February 2025 saw a 22.9% increase in robbery, rising from 48 to 59 incidents, marking a significant upward trend in this category. Other theft also rose by 9.7%, from 268 to 294 cases, indicating a growing concern in property-related crimes. Conversely, theft from the person fell by 18.4%, dropping from 38 to 31 incidents—a decrease that may partly reflect heightened awareness or changes in public behavior during the winter months. The crime mix reveals a stark divergence from the UK average, with violence and sexual offences at 3.8 per 1,000 (62% above the UK average) and public order offences at 1.0 per 1,000 (127% above). These figures suggest that Liverpool’s urban environment, with its high population density and diverse social interactions, may contribute to higher rates of such crimes compared to the national average.

Liverpool's crime rate in February 2025 remained stable at 10.2 per 1,000, a 1.4% decrease from the previous month, reflecting a consistent level of activity. Daily crime figures show 183 crimes reported each day, a rate that underscores the persistent nature of criminal activity in the area. Over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 99 residents, highlighting the frequency with which residents encounter crime on a monthly basis. This statistic, while not directly comparable to national daily figures, provides a local perspective on the scale of incidents. The population context further illustrates that, despite Liverpool's size, the rate of crime per resident remains higher than the UK average. This suggests that factors specific to the city—such as its urban density, economic dynamics, and social networks—play a significant role in shaping the crime profile.
