We have decided to give this a separate page for you to keep track of it here https://www.ukcrimestats.com/docs/missing_data.html . We have the longest history of data here – going back to December 2010 which is no longer available from data.police.uk . So some of it like missing ASB from Wiltshire Police in March 2011 is […]

As per the latest code point open from the Ordnance Survey to August 2020. These typically become available every 3-4 months. This time we have 3,201 new postcodes, 2520 deleted ones and 910 restored or renewed. The UK’s poscodes are actually a pretty good addressing system but they are not perfect as these quarterly refinements […]

I’m of course referring to the unusual crime and property price monthly figures we collect here at UKCrimestats over the last few months since the lockdown. As per our National Picture page, Burglary, shoplifting and vehicle crime have fallen substantially, but violent crime and public order offences are touching new monthly highs. As for property […]

Unfortunately though, Greater Manchester Police have once again not released monthly crime data for the 13th month in a row. This means for anyone checking for crime in the area of Greater Manchester and their 270 neighbourhoods, relevant constituencies and postcodes over the last 12 months, they will be seeing zero crime which is obviously […]

Next year, the UK will be having its every 10 years census. In America, it’s this year. We know quite a lot has changed – there are an estimated 5 million more people in the UK than in 2010 according to the Office for National Statistics – nearly 10% more. But trying to estimate exactly […]

April 2020 represents the first full month of lockdown and the stand out difference is that reported ASB incidents are actually double the previous monthly record at 220k. On top of that, a new monthly low for burglary and shoplifting (hardly surprising) and a dramatic fall in “Theft from the person”. See the full range […]

Some very good news that can be seen already with the March 2020 crime data, just released. You can see from the National Picture here. Burglary’s national total – England and Wales – for March 2020 was 25,349. That’s the lowest month recorded since we started, December 2010. Meanwhile shoplifting’s national total of 21,855, is […]

A lot of people are unaware that the UK’s 1.7 million postcodes are subject to changes – new additions, deletions and restorations every 3 months by the Ordnance Survey. And really quite a lot. We’ve just had 2,650 new additions, 1,103 deletions and 809 restored postcodes. You can always check how up to date on […]

As long as there is data to upload to our system, we will keep updating. No coronavirus problems – touch wood – with us. It’s an interesting question though, how will the level and type of crime change during this period? One hopes of course that it will go down and there’s a good chance […]

So we have just started offering GoCardless as a method of payment for membership. GoCardless is an increasingly popular automated direct debit system, doesn’t require an app and can be a lot less trouble than a recurring Paypal payment. Not everyone likes Paypal and from a commercial point of view, it’s also takes quite a […]
