Maghull Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Maghull’s crime profile in November 2025, accounting for 52.2% of all reported incidents. With an overall crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents, the area remains 54.8% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000, underscoring a consistently safer environment compared to national trends. This lower rate may be influenced by Maghull’s character as a built-up area within Sefton, where local policing, community engagement, and the absence of large-scale industrial or commercial hubs contribute to reduced criminal activity. The dominance of violent crimes, however, raises questions about local factors such as social dynamics or targeted interventions. Seasonal influences in November, including Bonfire Night and the onset of darker evenings, may have contributed to fluctuations in crime types, though the overall stability in rates suggests that these events have not led to significant spikes. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage, while present, remain well below UK averages, reinforcing the area’s comparative safety. The relatively low levels of property crime, despite the Black Friday shopping period, may indicate effective retail security measures or the absence of high-risk commercial zones. These patterns highlight the importance of contextual factors in shaping local crime trends, even as Maghull continues to maintain a position well below national averages.

November 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns, with increases in other theft (+100%), robbery (+100%), and possession of weapons (+100%), though these remain low in absolute terms. Conversely, public order offences fell by 57.1% (7 to 3), and burglary dropped by 50% (4 to 2), reflecting possible seasonal or situational factors. Violence and sexual offences, which account for 52.2% of all crimes, remain 34% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), highlighting a consistent gap in violent crime rates compared to national trends. Anti-social behaviour also dropped significantly, by 62% below the UK average, suggesting effective community management or policing efforts in this category. The absence of spikes in property crime, despite the Black Friday shopping period, may indicate that local retail areas are relatively secure or that enforcement measures have mitigated risks during high-traffic times.

Maghull’s November 2025 crime rate of 3.3 per 1,000 residents marks a 27.2% decrease from the previous month’s 4.5 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. This rate translates to roughly 2 crimes reported per day across the area, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents in a localised timeframe. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for roughly every 303 residents, a monthly exposure that underscores the relatively low frequency of crime in comparison to larger urban centres. With a population of 20,301, the area’s crime statistics align with its character as a built-up area within Sefton, where community cohesion and local policing efforts may contribute to the sustained reduction in incidents. The lower-than-average rates for violent and property crimes, combined with the absence of significant spikes in specific categories, suggest a stable environment where crime remains a rare occurrence for most residents.
