Liverpool Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Liverpool’s crime rate in November 2025 was 11.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 58.9% above the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This stark divergence from national trends underscores the city’s unique challenges as a major urban centre with a history of socioeconomic disparities and concentrated deprivation. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 34.4% of all crimes, far exceeding the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000, 56% below Liverpool’s 4.0 per 1,000). The prominence of violent crime likely reflects Liverpool’s dense urban fabric, where high population density and historical patterns of disorder intersect with ongoing social issues. Drug-related offences, at 1.4 per 1,000 (11.7% of total crimes), were 419% above the UK average, a figure that may be linked to the city’s legacy of heroin addiction and the presence of multiple high-traffic areas frequented by illicit markets. November’s seasonal context—marked by Bonfire Night, Black Friday, and the onset of winter—may have amplified certain trends, though the exact relationship between these factors and crime patterns remains complex. The month’s data also reveals a mixed picture for property crimes, with shoplifting and criminal damage both exceeding UK averages but showing no clear correlation with the city’s broader socioeconomic profile.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in Liverpool’s crime profile. Drug-related offences increased by 12.3%, climbing from 616 to 692 incidents, a rise that may partly explain the city’s continued struggle with illicit substances in high-traffic areas. Conversely, bicycle theft fell sharply by 43.8%, dropping from 73 to 41 cases—a decline potentially linked to heightened awareness campaigns around November’s Black Friday shopping period. The proportion of violent crimes (34.4% of total) remained high compared to the UK average for this category (2.6 per 1,000, 56% below Liverpool’s 4.0 per 1,000). Anti-social behaviour also dropped by 19.1%, suggesting that targeted interventions in high-risk neighbourhoods may have had a measurable impact. These fluctuations highlight the combination of seasonal events and local enforcement efforts.

Liverpool's crime rate in November 2025 stood at 11.6 per 1,000 residents, a 4.5% decrease from the previous month's rate of 12.2 per 1,000. This slight decline aligns with seasonal patterns typical of late autumn, when colder weather and shorter daylight hours may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for roughly every 86 residents, highlighting the persistent presence of criminal activity within the local population. When scaled to daily figures, the area experienced approximately 197 crimes per day, a number that, while consistent with prior months, remains significantly higher than the UK average. The population-scaled perspective underscores the need for continued community engagement and policing strategies tailored to Liverpool’s unique urban environment, where high population density and historical socioeconomic challenges intersect with current crime trends.
