The leading crime and postcode data research and analysis platform
Ok, we’ve uploaded Scottish crime data. Compared to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it’s very much less detailed. No categorisation of crime type, totals over a whole year (2007-08 and 2011-12) matched to Scottish Datazone. So what this means is that you can type in a Scottish postcode to the searchbox and it will automatically […]
As we are the only aggregators of the crime data, our monthly updates take a little bit longer here at UKCrimeStats and we like to check things through and ask questions which is one of our analytical USPs. We now have about 18.5 million crimes and ASB incidents, spread out over a bit more than a million […]

The old forum has become a magnet for prodigious quantities of […]
We now have 19 months of data on UKCrimeStats. For all that, we’ve had a difficult month here on UKCrimeStats. For the third time in our brief history, the site was brought down by crime – hackers emanating from China-based servers – and we had some trouble recovering data. This time I didn’t report the […]
We have just rolled out a new capability to UKCrimeStats – a unique page with monthly history for every street (see our streets page here) that has had a crime on it. Here is London’s Oxford Street – scene of a terrible gang murder right in the middle of the Boxing Day. As you’ll see […]
We now have 11 months of aggregated data on UKCrimeStats – a special thanks again to our Chief Data Architect for working to make this available asap. We have some new upgrades coming through shortly which we’re excited about too – watch this space. On a separate note – we are aware of – and […]
