As someone who had items stolen from his car recently – I left it open and my prescription glasses and cheap scratched sunglasses were taken – I wanted to know more about it and if the hotspots had changed in the last 10 years. To answer this question, I decided to measure it using total vehicle crimes by postcode sector per hectare. This allows us to make equivalent judgements as postcode sectors like postcode districts vary a lot in size.<\/p>\n

To my surprise the hotspots had changed.<\/p>\n

Measured by crimes per hectare per postcode sector – a unique feature available to UKCrimeStats subscribers, we have seen quite a big change.<\/p>\n

Between March 2013 and February 2014 inclusive, there was a total of 75.27 vehicle crimes per hectare in the postcode sector of B5 6<\/a>. , the highest then ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the top 5, we have postcode sectors in Bristol but the top ranking spot is in Liverpool – with a total of 32 per hectare, thankfully half that of what was happening in Birmingham 10 years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
