Overall Crime Rate Of 102 Crimes Per 1000 People
Perched at the mouth of the Mersey, Wallasey is one Merseyside’s larger town, although it’s perhaps best know for being an amalgam of areas that makes up the northern fringes of the Wirral, and that feed into the heart of Liverpool. Its size and population does, however, mean the town has a crime rate that’s higher than you’d anticipate at 102 crimes per 1000 residents.
Within those figures, there’s substantial issues across both violent crime (2979 incidents) and public order offences (1059 incidents), although there’s also concern for Wallasey’s rate of bicycle theft (79 incidents) which is 15% above the regional average.
