Overall Crime Rate Of 117.7 Crimes Per 1000 People
One of Merseyside’s more historic towns, alongside one of its more rapidly growing, Kirkby has evolved significantly since its humble roots as a small settlement in the Bronze Age. With that evolution comes an equally developed crime rate, which now sits at 117.7 crimes per 1000 residents.
The town’s key issues stem from high rates of violent crime (2224 incidents), public order offences (767 incidents) and drug offences (611 incidents), all of which underscore the need for effective security in Kirkby.
