How to read this
Source: data.police.uk. Street-level locations are approximate and the data is updated monthly.
This is a count of reports, not a crime-rate score. Police.uk deliberately moves incident locations to nearby map points to protect privacy, so it should be used to understand the wider area rather than a particular house or street corner.
