The leading crime and postcode data research and analysis platform
Ok, we’ve done it. It took longer than usual because we had new 5 new crime types to build into the database. These are; Theft-shoplifting Drugs Criminal Damage and Arson Public Disorder and Weapons Theft-Other As you’ll see from our main chart below, we have added these under the Other category (from whence they came) […]
We recently gave an exclusive to Planning in London magazine that showed crime and ASB events in London from December 2010 to July 2011. You will not find this anywhere else. Planning in London is the journal of the London Planning and Development Forum and a winning magazine of the year for the International Building […]
Following on from our post yesterday, we had a look at the Guardian data on the riots and thought we’d try uploading it – here is our new Riots page. And because we are able to pinpoint which neighbourhood these events occurred in, we can very quickly see that the impact on the neighbourhood crime […]
Just over a week ago, we uploaded the August data with some anticipation, not least because this is a time-consuming and difficult job. So thanks again to our Chief Data Architect for doing it so quickly. We now have 9 months of historical data and UKCrimeStats is the only website where you can make comparisons […]
A special thanks again to our Chief Data Architect for working over the Bank Holiday weekend to get the latest batch of crime data uploaded. Police.uk released the data on Friday 26th August in the morning and it has been live on this site since yesterday morning. Like all the other 3rd party developers, we […]
My impression is that in contrast to the early Police anti-riot operations – with all the caveats mentioned in the preceeding post – the number of arrests, charges, sentencing by the courts etc. – is going very well. As a deterrent to future flash-mob riots, it doesn’t get much better than this. A friend […]
It’s always the way. You go away for a week and then something big pops up. In this case, the largest riots in 25 years which hit the UK out of nowhere. UKCrimeStats received a record increase in traffic again – the public want to know what’s going on around them but we don’t have […]
I’ve just run a quick search on UKCrimeStats and thought I’d post up these links in light of the distressing events from last night in Tottenham not least 49 fires started by rioters. Here is a link to crime in the Tottenham Constituency, of which David Lammy is MP and is in the worst […]
I was just reading this article which was unusual because it was a detailed monthly update on crime in a specific neighbourhood – Thame. Thame falls under the jurisdiction of Thames Valley Police. I’m sure in the years to come we will see many more of these online reports of what’s going on and this […]
Last Saturday’s headline in The Times “Police admit one in three crimes not investigated – Forces give up on burglars and car thieves” got me thinking. I don’t disagree that the Police find that screening out a large number of registered crimes allows them to focus more resources where they have greater chance of success. […]
