What does a reported crime count mean?
- These are incidents returned by the UK Police API for the selected neighbourhood and month. They are reports recorded by the police, not a measure of how safe or unsafe every resident or street is. The figures can change when the source data is updated.
Which months are included?
- The dataset currently covers monthly figures from August 2023 through July 2026. A year total in this post means January to December for that calendar year; the 2023 and 2026 data is currently partial. Figures will be updated when new data is available.
Why is 2026 data so low?
- There appears to be a change or broken process in the way the data is reported to data team at the Police, as there has been approximately 1,000 crimes per month from Aug 2024 to January 2026, but since then, only 20 crimes have been documented over the next 6 months to July 2026. This has been reported to the Police Data Team. Data will be updated when new records are provided.
Why is there not more recent data?
Police data is typically updated about one month after the month has completed, e.g. January’s data is published in March and so on. There is a privacy element to this as well as a process for anonymising the data.
