Crime map by postcode

The map shows crimes and anti-social behaviour reported to police within roughly a mile of the postcode in the latest month police.uk has published, which is usually two months behind. Locations are deliberately blurred to protect victims, so each crime is placed at the nearest "snap point", such as the middle of a street.

Things to bear in mind

• Town centres always look busier. Shops, pubs, stations and nightlife attract far more people, and shoplifting and public order offences are counted where they happen, not where offenders live.
• One month can be unusual. A single incident with several offences, or a seasonal spike, can make a quiet area look worse. Check a few postcodes nearby to get a fair picture.
• Very low numbers? If a busy area shows almost no crime, the local police force may not have published all of its data to police.uk for that month.
• Not all crime is reported, and some types, like fraud and online crime, aren't shown on street-level maps at all.
• Compare like with like. Comparing a village with a city centre isn't fair. The deprivation checker shows how the neighbourhood ranks on crime against all of England over several years.

Every street page on MyStreetCheck also shows a crime summary alongside sold prices, schools and flood risk.
