The leading crime and postcode data research and analysis platform
Which of these is correct? The answer has got to be both and neither of them. I don’t think you’ll ever get 100% capture of all the crimes and I have my doubts about the British Crim Survey. Still, there is a big […]
Thanks to everybody for your patience while we moved our server. I’m pleased to say that we are back and running 48 hours earlier than anticipated – so a special thanks to our Chief Data Architect. Memo to the world – never set targets you can’t exceed ! And moreover, we now have […]
Just in case you missed the big red sign at the top of the page, we wanted to give you advance warning the site will be going down from tomorrow midday to Sunday 31st July 6 pm. Actually, it may be up again a lot quicker than that but we’d rather over than under […]
Very interesting comment by Fred in the post below which I’ve replied to and look forward to his response. By the way, we don’t mind at all if you prefer to post comments under another name. I reckon it’s a safe bet that Fred isn’t really called Fred ! In the meantime, here’s the […]
I was staggered yesterday to learn that according to a 2008 study by retired Louisiana State University law professor John Baker, the USA has an estimated 4,500 crimes in federal statutes. But I was only really surprised because I had only just found out that the UK has precisiely 1,455 – 3 times less. We’ll […]

We don’t want to blow our […]
Once again, thanks to the NPIA for the data. After ASB incidents and Other crime, Burglary is the next most numerous category in our National Picture page – with 43,052 burglaries across England and Wales in May 2011. So what are the different offences? Based on the Theft Act of 1968, here are the 9 […]
This is the second most populated category on our National Picture page with over 193,000 Other crimes for May 2011. You may be staggered to find out though that under Other falls a voluminous 1,293 different types of offences. I really couldn’t list them all here, in a blog post – but we will […]
A very special thanks to the National Policing Improvement Agency who have shared with us the underlying breakdown of Crimes and ASB incidents allocated to the six very broad categories we are given Crime and ASB data on. These are; Burglary, Robbery,l Vehicle, Violent, Other and ASB. Now we know the subcategories for […]
