Yes, and noticeably safer than the district around it. Crime runs about a fifth below the East Hampshire average. Unemployment and overcrowding barely register. The totals are small enough that a bad month shows up in the percentages. Liss looks like a quiet village, and its crime record is quiet too.
The police recorded 238 crimes in Liss in the year from June 2025 to May 2026. The published rate works out at about 38 crimes per 1,000 residents, roughly 22% below the local-authority average. That's a low figure for a village with a railway station and a main road nearby, both of which tend to bring in more crime than a village of cul-de-sacs would.
Put side by side, East Hampshire as a whole records about 48 crimes per 1,000 residents over the same period, against Liss's 38. East Hampshire isn't a high-crime district to begin with, so Liss is the quieter part of an already quiet area. The local online noticeboard will still manage a weekly panic about a van nobody recognises.
Liss averages about 2,460 people per square kilometre, which counts as busy for a village but calm for anywhere with a supermarket. Unemployment sits at about 2%, and about 2% of households are overcrowded. This is settled, employed, spacious housing, and places like that tend to produce the kind of crime figures you see above. These are just what the neighbourhood is like, not an explanation for them.
The crime mix needs a warning before any numbers. The totals are low enough that a handful of incidents moves a category's share by several points, so treat what follows as this year's snapshot, not a permanent feature of the village. Violence and sexual offences made up about 46% of recorded crime, against about 35% nationally. That's the largest category almost everywhere, and it covers a wide legal range, including common assault where nobody was injured. Public order offences made up about 11% against 7% nationally, criminal damage and arson about 9% against 7%, and vehicle crime about 6% against 5%. Other theft was about 6%, slightly below the national 7%, and drugs offences about 6% against 4%. On a base this small, a few incidents in one year can explain the gaps, and a quieter year could shrink them.
What happens after someone reports a crime is a separate question from how much crime there is, and it's answered at force level, not village level. Hampshire Constabulary charged a suspect in about 9% of cases in the year to May 2026, against about 12% nationally, which puts it 38th of 42 forces. About 35% of its cases closed with no suspect identified. That's the honest answer to "will they catch them". It says nothing about whether Liss is safe and everything about what to expect if you're unlucky.
Safety is one of Liss's real strengths. The crime rate sits well under a district that was already low, and the police's charge rate matters here mainly as background.
