Bebington Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Bebington’s crime profile in June 2025 sits 46.9% below the UK average (4.3 per 1,000), a position that reflects both its demographic characteristics and seasonal dynamics. As a built-up area within Wirral, Bebington’s crime profile is shaped by its role as a commuter hub and its proximity to major transport networks. The most prevalent crime category was violence and sexual offences (35.9% of total crimes), though this rate (1.5 per 1,000) remains 48% below the UK average. Public order offences (11.4%) and anti-social behaviour (9.8%) followed, both significantly lower than national levels. This contrast with the UK average is particularly pronounced in categories like shoplifting (68% below) and burglary (29% below), which may be influenced by Bebington’s relatively low retail density and stable residential population. Seasonal factors also appear to play a role: the start of summer, with its longer days and increased outdoor activity, may have contributed to the 27.9% drop in violent crimes, as community engagement and visibility improve. However, the sharp rise in drug-related offences (137.5% increase) raises questions about local patterns. These trends suggest that while Bebington benefits from a generally low crime environment, targeted interventions may be needed to address emerging issues like drug-related activity.

June 2025 saw a stark shift in crime patterns within Bebington. Drug-related offences surged by 137.5%, jumping from 8 to 19 cases, a rise that outpaced other categories. This increase may reflect heightened activity during the summer months, though no definitive link to local events is confirmed. Conversely, anti-social behaviour dropped by 47.8% (46 to 24 cases), likely tied to seasonal changes or improved community engagement efforts. Violence and sexual offences also fell by 27.9%, from 122 to 88 cases, a decline that contrasts with the UK average for this category (2.9 per 1,000). Bicycle theft—a crime often associated with student populations—rose by 100% (0 to 1 case). The most significant month-on-month change, however, was the 200% increase in 'other crime' (2 to 6 cases), a category that requires further investigation into its specific drivers. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of local crime trends, even within a built-up area with generally low rates.

Bebington's crime rate in June 2025 (4.3 per 1,000) marked a 21.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 5.4 per 1,000. This decline aligns with broader trends observed in built-up areas during late spring, when seasonal transitions may reduce opportunities for certain types of crime. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 8 crimes per day in June, a figure that translates to a monthly exposure of 1 reported crime for every 233 residents. This rate is significantly lower than the UK average, but the local context reveals nuanced patterns: while violent crime rates remain below national levels, drug-related offences have surged by 137.5% compared to May. This contrast highlights the importance of population-specific factors—Bebington’s proximity to major transport links and its role as a commuter hub may contribute to fluctuations in certain crime categories. The 57,202 residents of Bebington thus experience a crime profile that diverges from both the UK average and historical trends in the area, underscoring the need for localized analysis.
