Where records cluster in BT27
Records by part of BT27: the north-west 2,086, the north 569, the west 412, the east 54, the north-east 41, the south-east 15, the south-west 8, the south 2, the centre 2.
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 BT27's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT27'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 BT27 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT27 on the crime map.

Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 30.5% 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 BT27 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
