Overall Crime Rate Of 50.1 Crimes Per 1000 People
One of the key feeder towns for the Scottish capital, Livingston couples exceptional public transport links with the trademark greenery and foliage we’d expect of Scotland’s rural regions. However, in spite of that tranquillity, we find a concerning crime rate of 50.1 crimes per 1000 residents.
Crimes of dishonesty are the town’s largest issue (3053 offences), with theft (1160 offences) and shoplifting (762 offences) showing worrying trends, but of equal concern for the security of Livingston businesses and residents is the high numbers in violent crime (2503 offences).
