Greasby Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For a population of 9,474, Greasby recorded 17 crimes in February 2025, a figure that translates to a crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 residents—73.1% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This low volume of crime, when scaled to the area’s size, suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter criminal activity in their daily lives. The breakdown of offences reveals a stark contrast to national trends: violence and sexual offences accounted for 70.6% of all crimes, far exceeding the proportion typically seen in the UK, where property crimes dominate. Anti-social behaviour followed with 11.8%, while public order, drugs, and criminal damage each contributed 5.9%. These figures align with the seasonal context of February, a winter month marked by reduced outdoor activity and a pre-spring lull. The low overall rate may be influenced by Greasby’s built-up area status within Wirral, where community cohesion and local policing efforts could contribute to crime prevention. However, the dominance of violent crime over property crime is an anomaly compared to the UK profile, where property-related offences are more common. This discrepancy might be linked to Greasby’s specific demographics or local factors such as the presence of high-risk groups. The seasonal context of February, with its limited outdoor activity, likely contributes to the lower overall crime rate, though the high proportion of violent crimes suggests other dynamics at play. The area’s relatively low crime levels, when compared to the UK, indicate a safety profile that is significantly better than the national average, though the nature of the crimes reported warrants further analysis.

February 2025 saw notable shifts in crime patterns across Greasby. Anti-social behaviour and drug-related incidents both doubled compared to the previous month, rising from zero to two incidents each. This increase may reflect heightened social activity or seasonal factors as the area transitions into spring. Conversely, public order offences and criminal damage and arson each fell by two-thirds, possibly linked to reduced outdoor activity during the winter months. Violence and sexual offences, which made up 70.6% of all crimes, rose by 20% compared to January, though they remain 45% below the UK average of 2.4 per 1,000. The dominance of violent crime in Greasby contrasts with the UK-wide trend, where property crimes typically account for a larger share. For residents, the 100% increase in anti-social behaviour incidents is a concrete data point that may warrant attention from local authorities. These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of crime in the area, with certain categories showing marked volatility over short periods.

In February 2025, Greasby recorded 17 total crimes across a population of 9,474 residents, translating to a crime rate of 1.8 per 1,000 people. This represents a 26.3% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 2.4 per 1,000, reflecting a continued downward trend. On a daily basis, the area experienced roughly one crime per day over the 28-day period, a figure that contextualises the pace of incidents for local residents. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 557 residents, a statistic that underscores the relatively low frequency of criminal activity compared to the UK average. This monthly exposure figure, when considered alongside the population size, suggests that most residents are unlikely to encounter crime in their daily lives. The contrast with the UK average is stark: Greasby’s crime rate is 73.1% below the national figure, a gap that highlights the area’s unique safety profile. While the daily crime count provides a snapshot of activity, the monthly exposure metric offers a broader perspective on how crime impacts the community over time.
