As always, please email me on dan@ukcrimestats.com if you see anything that looks wrong, suggestions etc. We are also in the throes of upgrading to a new forum.

We actually did this nearly a week ago but some of you will have noticed that we had some data problems with neighbourhoods – no fault of our own as it happens, but we take a very responsible attitude towards the data on ukcrimestats. I’ve written up a full explanation here on our forum http://ukcrimestats.com/forum/topic/policeuk-changes-order-of-crimes-in-neighbourhood-files-for-october-2012-data?replies=1#post-363 – […]

So we owe you an apology and an explanation on why it’s later than usual. First of all, Police.uk aim to release on the 25th of the month but this time, it […]
Today, we launch a major new advance in UKCrimeStats.

In the meantime, we’ve done a lot and are about to move […]
