Aintree Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Aintree’s crime rate in October 2025 was 6.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 14.3% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This performance highlights the area’s relatively safer position compared to the national picture. The most common crime category was anti-social behaviour, accounting for 40.9% of all incidents, a figure significantly higher than the UK average of 1.3 per 1,000. This disparity may be linked to Aintree’s built-up character within Sefton, where high-density living and community interactions could contribute to such incidents. Shoplifting and public order offences followed, each comprising 15.9% and 13.6% of total crimes, respectively. These rates are also above the UK average, suggesting that retail areas or public spaces in Aintree may be focal points for these types of crime. Seasonal factors in October, including darker evenings and the Halloween period, may have influenced anti-social behaviour and public order issues. Meanwhile, violent crimes such as violence and sexual offences were 66% below the UK average, a trend that may reflect effective policing, community engagement, or the area’s demographic profile. The overall crime rate, while lower than the national average, underscores the need for continued vigilance, particularly in addressing the elevated rates of anti-social behaviour and shoplifting that remain above UK benchmarks.

October 2025 saw sharp increases in three specific crimes: possession of weapons, robbery, and bicycle theft, each rising from zero to one incident. These spikes, while small in absolute terms, may indicate emerging trends or isolated incidents warranting local attention. Conversely, other theft, criminal damage, and violence and sexual offences all declined, with the latter falling by 45.5% compared to the previous month. This drop in violent crime is particularly notable, as Aintree’s rate for violence and sexual offences was 66% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour, the most common crime in the area, remained 114% above the national average, a persistent challenge that may reflect local social dynamics or environmental factors. The data also reveals a stark contrast between property crimes and violent crimes, with property-related offences (shoplifting, vehicle crime) comprising 20.5% of all crimes, compared to 13.6% for violent offences. This balance may be influenced by Aintree’s built-up nature within Sefton, where retail and public spaces are more densely used.

Aintree’s crime rate in October 2025 stood at 6.6 per 1,000 residents, a 15.4% decline from the previous month’s rate of 7.8 per 1,000. This downward trend aligns with seasonal patterns, as shorter days and the transition from summer to autumn may reduce opportunities for certain crimes. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately one crime per day, a figure that, while low, underscores the persistent presence of criminal activity within a small population. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 152 residents, highlighting the relatively low frequency of incidents in the context of Aintree’s population of 6,670. This monthly exposure rate is lower than the UK average when scaled to population size, reflecting either effective local policing or unique demographic factors that contribute to Aintree’s distinct crime profile. The shift from October to November, with the clocks going back and darker evenings setting in, may further influence crime patterns, though the current data does not yet indicate a direct link.
