Aintree Crime Rate November 2024 | Monthly Statistics

The crime profile of Aintree in November 2024 reveals a distinct emphasis on property-related offences, particularly shoplifting, which accounted for 36.5% of all reported crimes. With 19 incidents, shoplifting far outpaces the UK average by 320%, a figure that may reflect the area’s retail presence and the seasonal impact of Black Friday shopping. This dominance of property crime contrasts with the UK average, where violent crimes make up a larger share. Aintree’s violent crime rate—10 incidents, or 1.5 per 1,000 residents—sits 42% below the UK average, a disparity that could be attributed to community-focused policing or the area’s suburban character, which may reduce opportunities for violent encounters. Anti-social behaviour (8 incidents) and other theft (5 incidents) also feature prominently, though their rates are closer to the UK average. The seasonal context of November, with its dark evenings and Bonfire Night events, likely contributes to fluctuations in public order offences, which rose by 150% compared to October. However, the overall crime rate of 7.8 per 1,000 residents—2.6% above the UK average—suggests a modestly higher risk compared to national trends, particularly in property crimes. This balance of crime types indicates an area where retail security measures and community engagement may play a critical role in shaping local crime patterns.

November 2024 saw sharp increases in other theft and public order offences, both rising by 150% compared to October. Shoplifting, the most common crime, increased by 5.6% to 19 incidents, though it remains 320% above the UK average. This stark contrast to the 42% reduction in violent crimes—now at 10 incidents, 42% below the UK average—suggests a shift in crime dynamics. Vehicle crime plummeted by 80%, from 10 to 2 incidents, potentially linked to fewer outdoor activities during darker evenings. The balance between property (28 incidents) and violent (10 incidents) crimes highlights Aintree’s focus on retail and public spaces, with shoplifting dominating property crimes. These figures provide a clear snapshot for residents: while violent crime is lower than the UK average, retail-related offences remain a significant concern.

Aintree's crime rate in November 2024 fell by 20.0% compared to October, dropping from 9.8 to 7.8 per 1,000 residents. This decline aligns with seasonal patterns, as November typically sees reduced outdoor activity and fewer large-scale events compared to summer months. Locally, the daily crime count averaged 2 incidents per day, a figure that reflects both the area’s population density and the types of crimes reported. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 128 residents, a monthly exposure rate that suggests most residents are unlikely to experience crime directly. However, this aggregate statistic masks variations in specific crime types—such as the 320% spike in shoplifting compared to the UK average—which indicate localized pressures. The population of 6,670 residents means that even small numerical changes can influence per-capita rates, highlighting the need for context when interpreting statistics. The drop from October may also reflect the end of the Black Friday shopping period, which had driven a temporary increase in retail-related crimes.
