Maghull Crime Rate September 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Maghull's crime profile in September 2025 reveals a striking imbalance between violent and property crimes, with the former accounting for over half of all reported incidents. At 3.7 per 1,000 residents, the area's crime rate is 50% below the UK average of 7.4, a figure that underscores its relative safety. Violent crimes, including violence and sexual offences, made up 54.7% of total offences, significantly higher than the UK average of 22% for this category. This dominance of violent crime may reflect local factors such as the area's proximity to educational institutions, where the return to term in September could contribute to increased social interactions and potential conflicts. Seasonal context also plays a role: as nights draw in and school routines resume, the likelihood of incidents occurring in public spaces—such as parks or community centres—may rise. Property crimes, by contrast, were less prevalent, with anti-social behaviour and public order offences contributing 14.7% and 8.0% respectively. This pattern suggests that Maghull's crime profile is shaped more by interpersonal conflicts than by theft or burglary, which together accounted for just 17.3% of reported crimes. The UK average for property crime is higher, with anti-social behaviour at 1.2 per 1,000 and public order offences at 0.5 per 1,000, both of which are significantly lower in Maghull. This divergence highlights the area's unique characteristics, influenced by its built-up nature and the presence of community-focused initiatives that may mitigate property-related incidents. The seasonal transition also appears to have had a muted effect, with the overall crime rate remaining stable despite the shift from summer to autumn. This stability, combined with the low rate of property crime, illustrates an area where community cohesion and local policing efforts may be playing a role in maintaining safety levels.

September 2025 saw a notable 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from zero to one reported incident. This spike may partly explain the shift in crime mix, with property crimes contributing 17.3% of total offences—lower than the 50% violent crime share. Meanwhile, vehicle crime fell by two-thirds (from six to two), burglary dropped by half (from two to one), and drugs-related offences halved (from two to one), suggesting a seasonal reduction in certain categories. The area's violent crime rate of 2.0 per 1,000 is 22% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, which stands at 2.6 per 1,000. This contrast with the UK average underscores Maghull's distinct crime profile, where violent incidents dominate despite the overall low rate. Residents may find the 80% reduction in other theft—down from 0.5 to 0.1 per 1,000—particularly reassuring, as it indicates a marked decrease in this category compared to national trends.

Maghull's crime rate in September 2025 dropped to 3.7 per 1,000 residents, a 17.6% decrease from the previous month's rate of 4.5. This decline places the area well below the UK average of 7.4 per 1,000, highlighting a consistent trend of lower-than-average crime levels. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately two crimes per day, a figure that, while seemingly modest, reflects the area's generally low crime profile. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 271 residents, illustrating the relatively low monthly exposure compared to national averages. When considering the population of 20,301, this translates to a manageable level of risk for residents, though local variations in crime distribution may still influence community perceptions. The drop in vehicle crime, burglary, and drugs-related incidents suggests that targeted efforts or seasonal factors may have contributed to this decline, though further analysis would be needed to confirm specific causes.
