Where records cluster in BT7
Records by part of BT7: the north 2,606, the north-west 1,673, the south-east 501, the south 208, the east 130, the centre 122, the north-east 54, the south-west 6.
North is at the top. Each hexagon is about 280 m across, the size the crime map uses zoomed in, and holds at least one of BT7's postcodes; darker ones hold more records. Hexagons at the edge also hold records from neighbouring districts, and BT7'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 BT7 records cluster in, not where incidents happened. Explore BT7 on the crime map.

Anti-social behaviour is the largest category, at 34.8% 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 BT7 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
