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.

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.
