Where records cluster in BT24
Records by part of BT24: the south-west 271, the south 216, the north-east 125, the south-east 78, the west 50, the north 19, the north-west 13, the east 7, the centre 3.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 1.1 km across, the size the crime map uses zoomed out, and holds at least one of BT24's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT24's records placed outside these hexagons are not drawn, so the map's counts won't add up to the page's total. Police place each record at an approximate public point, so this shows which parts of BT24 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT24 on the crime map.

Records here changed by -19.6% on the 12 months before, against -1.7% across the Police Service of Northern Ireland area over the same months. With 785 records a year, a change of a few percent can be chance.
Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 39.5% of records, against 15.7% across England and Wales over the same months.
The records can't tell you about crime nobody reported, which street in BT24 a record came from, or how a place feels at different times of day. See the limits to keep in mind.
Limits to keep in mind
Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release, and each record is assigned to a district by its nearest postcode. Counts near district boundaries are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
Outcome labels in the source data are not court results or conviction rates.
Figures below come from official open datasets, joined on postcode. Sources are listed on the
