Where it was recorded
The police publish an approximate map point for each offence, never an address. A street named here means an offence was recorded on or near it — often at a junction, a car park or a parade of shops that serves as the nearest reference point, which is why busy streets dominate.

| Approach Road | 27 |
| Burnt Oak Broadway | 16 |
| Supermarket | 15 |
| Market Lane | 15 |
| Edgware Way (watford By-pass) | 14 |
| Rectory Lane | 12 |
| Hanshaw Drive | 11 |
| Back Lane | 11 |
| Hospital | 10 |
| Whitchurch Avenue | 9 |

How to read these figures
These are offences recorded by the Metropolitan Police, not offences committed. A rise can mean more crime, better reporting, or a change in how something is classified, and anti-social behaviour in particular reflects how often people call it in. Figures for one month in one area are a small sample: treat a change of a handful of offences as noise rather than a trend.
