Warrington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

In November 2025, Warrington recorded a crime rate of 5.5 per 1,000 residents, placing it 24.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This translates to a daily risk of approximately one crime for every 183 residents over the course of the month. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences, which made up 45.2% of all reported crimes—slightly below the UK average of 2.6 per 1,000. This figure may partly explain the seasonal context of November, with darker evenings and the approach of Bonfire Night potentially contributing to increased interpersonal tensions. Public order offences, however, rose above the UK average, accounting for 10.2% of total crimes, which is 28% higher than the national average. This could be linked to Warrington’s urban retail and entertainment hubs, where transient populations and late-night activity may exacerbate disorder incidents. The area’s relatively low burglary rate—3.0% of total crimes, 33% below the UK average—suggests that local security measures or community engagement initiatives may be effective in deterring property crimes. However, the sharp increase in theft from the person (+400%) highlights a growing risk in specific contexts, such as crowded shopping areas during Black Friday promotions. These patterns reflect a combination of local demographics, seasonal rhythms, and urban dynamics that shape Warrington’s crime profile.

November 2025 saw a 400% increase in theft from the person, rising from 1 to 5 incidents—a stark spike that may signal heightened vulnerability during crowded shopping periods like Black Friday. Meanwhile, burglary rates fell by 34% compared to the previous month, with 35 incidents recorded, down from 53. This decline could be attributed to improved lighting in residential areas or increased police patrols during the festive season. Public order offences also decreased by 17.8%, from 146 to 120, reflecting the impact of local authority efforts to manage public spaces during the transition to winter. Warrington’s violence and sexual offences rate of 2.5 per 1,000 residents is 3% below the UK average, which may indicate the effectiveness of targeted interventions in high-risk areas such as the town centre. Conversely, the 28% increase in public order crimes above the UK average suggests that Warrington’s unique social fabric—influenced by its commuter population and retail presence—requires tailored approaches to address disorder. The sharp drop in bicycle theft (-26.3%) from 19 to 14 incidents may be linked to increased bike storage initiatives at local transport hubs or heightened awareness among cyclists.

Warrington’s crime rate in November 2025 dropped to 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a 9.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 6.0. This reduction, though modest, places the area further below the UK average and suggests a continued trend of relative safety compared to national benchmarks. On a daily basis, the local figure of 39 crimes per day offers a tangible sense of risk for residents, though it is important to contextualise this within the area’s population of 215,391. Over the course of November, the monthly exposure rate of 1 crime for every 183 residents illustrates a moderate level of risk that is significantly lower than the UK average. This comparison is particularly meaningful for families and individuals considering relocation, as it highlights Warrington’s ability to maintain a crime rate that is both stable and below national levels. The population-scaled perspective also underscores the effectiveness of local policing strategies, which may include community engagement, targeted patrols, or collaborative efforts with businesses to prevent crime. While the overall rate is low, the sharp increase in theft from the person and the elevated public order offences demonstrate that specific challenges remain, requiring focused attention to ensure the safety of all residents.
