Common questions
Where do these crime figures come from?
From data.police.uk, the Home Office service that publishes street-level crime records every police force in England and Wales must file each month. The figures here are counted within one mile of each area centre. They are published under the Open Government Licence, so anyone may reuse them.
How up to date are they?
Police forces file about two months behind, so the most recent month available is usually the month before last. The date each table covers is stated on it. Nothing here is an estimate or a projection.
Do these figures show how safe an area is?
Not on their own. They count offences recorded by police, so they move with reporting rates as well as with crime, and a busy high street will record more than a quiet street simply because more people pass through it. They are most useful compared against the same area over time.
Why is my street not listed?
Street-level data is snapped to anonymous map points rather than exact addresses, to protect the people involved. A point can stand for several nearby streets, and areas with very few offences are grouped so that individuals cannot be identified.
