Limits to keep in mind
- These figures are published police records for the Durham Constabulary area, not a single borough, council area, street, or postcode.
- Published locations are approximate; they are snapped to anonymous map points before release.
- Recording practices differ between forces, so force-to-force comparisons need care.
- Outcome labels are not court results or conviction rates.
