The maps should be available via the local police web sites, although you may have to hunt around for the links. Once you have found the maps, you can either browse them or enter your post code to find information on just your area. The interfaces and presentation of the data can vary considerably between police forces as does the break-down of the crime statistics. Thames Valley provides a basic map and tables of data, while others such as the Metropolitan police offer graphs as well as the figures. All of the online maps colour code areas according to the levels of crime: high, above average, average, below average, low or no crime.

...more links would be helpful, thanks.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Oranjepan. I was so overjoyed to finally find some of the maps I forgot to put the links in.
ReplyDeleteThe Metropolitan Police online crime maps are at http://maps.met.police.uk/. Thames Valley's are at http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/Instant-atlas/atlas.html .
For the other police forces web sites simply Google their name or go to https://www.askthe.police.uk/. Some have put links to the crime maps on their home page in a prominent place, others have buried them several layers down in the menus.
