police.uk recorded incidents nearby, shown as a mix and a rate. Context only. Never in the Area Measure.
This category uses street-level crime from data.police.uk for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We show a mix of home, person, street and other records, a rate per 1,000 residents, and whether counts rose or fell over 12 months. Scotland is not in this feed. Locations are snapped to an approximate street. We do not publish a single crime score or an 'unsafe area' label.
People ask about recorded crime when they move. A single rate without the mix can smear a busy high street as if every incident were a home burglary. Showing the mix first, and comparing with similar density neighbourhoods, keeps the published facts without a verdict on the people who live there.
Use the mix and the rate as context beside schools, transport and flood. Do not treat recorded crime as how safe it feels. Night-time economy and shops raise counts. Always read the caveats on the report. This category never changes the Area Measure.
Licences and refresh cadence are on the sources page.
