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 sector by its nearest postcode. A sector is small, so counts near its edges are indicative.
These are counts of published police records, not all crime, and not a safety score.
This page updates as new months are published, so a citation needs the months shown and the date you read it. One click selects the whole citation. The CSV holds this page's monthly and category figures for BT48 8 postcode sector, with the same source and months.
