Where records cluster in BT52
Records by part of BT52: the west 760, the south-west 333, the north-west 302, the south 78, the north 12, the north-east 2.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 270 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of BT52's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT52'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 BT52 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT52 on the crime map.

Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 40.7% 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 BT52 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.
