This site carries no advertising and no analytics. No tracking cookie is set and no profile of you is built. Nothing you look up is stored.
The published records are already anonymised by the publisher, and we go further. The latitude and longitude locations of Crime and ASB incidents published on this site always represent the approximate location of a crime, not the exact place that it happened: the source moves each point to a shared location covering at least eight addresses. We publish no coordinates at all, no identifiers, no free-text notes and no individual case results. There are no maps of points on this site.
Small counts are withheld. A category count between one and four is never shown, and where a total would let that cell be worked out by subtraction, the total is withheld as well. The same withholding applies to the tables, the charts and the downloads, so a figure cannot be recovered by moving between them.
Published police records do not include all crime and are not a measure of an individual's likelihood of becoming a victim. This page describes recorded crime in an area, not the risk at an address.
What you can open
Every figure on this page is tied to the accepted calculation.
What to do next
The two sides of this comparison are not the same universe, so no difference is published. Totals from the Home Office and from the national crime survey cover different things from these published street-level records and are never subtracted from them. Case results published by police and by the courts also stay separate, and results are never ranked across forces.
Open the home page and pick an area.
Limits of these figures
It does not tell you about a street or an address. Published points are moved to a shared location covering at least eight addresses, and this page describes an area.
It does not count everything that happened. These are the records forces recorded and published; for many types of crime, police recorded crime statistics do not provide a reliable measure of levels or trends in crime.
It does not describe Scotland. Only the British Transport Police supply records there, so levels would look far lower than they are, and no Scottish total is published here.
It does not give a figure per resident. Rates stay unpublished until an unrounded population estimate for the exact same area is accepted, so counts and composition are all that appear.
It does not rank forces on results. Published matching of case results ranges from about 19 to 97 percent between forces, which makes a league table of results meaningless.

Street-level crime and outcomes, September 2025 to August 2026. Home Office totals and the national crime survey count different things from these published street-level records, so they are not used as a check.
