Overall Crime Rate Of 154.5 Crimes Per 1000 People
Just across the Mersey from its closest neighbour in Liverpool, the town of Birkenhead occupies a much sought-after spot on the Wirral, and provides superb transport links to the city. However, what’s not quite as appealing a prospect is the town’s climbing crime rate of 154.5 crimes per 1000 residents.
Having seen a substantial increase over 2021’s figures, Birkenhead sees soaring numbers across zits rates of violent crime (6092 incidents), public order offences (2243 incidents) and criminal damage (1516 incidents).
