Warrington Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Warrington, 5.5 crimes were reported in November 2025—a rate 24.7% below the UK average of 7.3 per 1,000. This lower-than-average rate suggests that, on a per-capita basis, residents face a reduced risk of encountering crime compared to the national picture. The most common crime type was violence and sexual offences, accounting for 45.2% of all incidents, followed by public order (10.2%) and anti-social behaviour (8.5%). These figures highlight a distinct profile for Warrington, where violent crime dominates the crime mix but remains significantly lower than the UK average for this category. The rate of violence and sexual offences in Warrington (2.5 per 1,000) was 3% below the UK average (2.6 per 1,000), a subtle but notable difference. This may be influenced by Warrington’s commuter town character, where a mix of residential and commercial zones could contribute to both higher foot traffic and targeted policing efforts. Meanwhile, public order offences were 28% above the UK average, reflecting the impact of seasonal events like Bonfire Night, which can lead to increased alcohol-related incidents in public spaces. The lower-than-average rates for anti-social behaviour (53% below UK average) and criminal damage (25% below UK average) suggest that community-focused initiatives or environmental factors in Warrington may be mitigating these types of incidents. Seasonal context further informs these patterns: November’s shorter days and colder weather may have reduced outdoor activity, indirectly contributing to lower property crime rates. However, the rise in theft from the person—a category that saw a 400% increase—could be linked to the Black Friday shopping period, when retail environments attract higher foot traffic and potential opportunists. These dynamics illustrate how local geography, demographics, and seasonal rhythms interact to shape Warrington’s unique crime picture, offering insights into both the challenges and strengths of its policing and community strategies.

November 2025 saw a stark 400% increase in theft from the person, rising from one reported incident to five. This surge, while small in absolute terms, may reflect heightened vigilance during the post-Black Friday shopping period or increased foot traffic in retail areas. Conversely, burglary rates fell by 34% compared to the previous month, with 35 incidents recorded—well below the UK average for this category. Public order offences, though still 28% above the UK average, declined by 17.8% (from 146 to 120), potentially due to reduced public gatherings as temperatures dropped. The most significant deviation from national trends was in anti-social behaviour, which was 53% below the UK average. This could be linked to Warrington’s commuter belt character, where structured community environments may mitigate such incidents. Meanwhile, shoplifting rates remained 52% below the UK average, suggesting that retail security measures in the area are effective despite the Black Friday shopping rush.

Warrington’s crime rate in November 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a 9.2% decrease from the previous month’s 6.0 per 1,000. This monthly decline aligns with a broader trend of lower crime rates during the autumn season, though November’s darker evenings and seasonal events like Bonfire Night may have created conditions for specific incidents. On a daily basis, Warrington saw an average of 39 crimes reported each day, a figure that, while consistent with the area’s historical patterns, remains lower than the UK average. Over the course of the month, the likelihood of experiencing a crime was roughly 1 in 183 residents—a rate that places Warrington among the safer local authority districts in the UK. This monthly exposure metric, when contextualised against the area’s population of 215,391, illustrates that the majority of residents are not directly affected by crime on a daily basis. However, the drop from the prior month’s rate may reflect temporary factors such as reduced foot traffic during the post-Christmas period or seasonal variations in policing activity.
