What each report includes

See a sample report

These are real reports for N16 0AS in Stoke Newington, London, built on 31 October 2026 from the police records published for its 0.5 km circle. Each cover prints the postcode and the centre point used. The 5-year report adds the latest year beside the four before it and an appendix of recent records. The Move report adds area pages on sold prices, schools, flood risk and broadband and covers 10 years.

Every report covers about 0.5 km (0.31 miles) around the postcode. Keep the report reference you get after ordering. It reopens your status and download pages later.

What you receive

Every report states the searched postcode, centre point, radius and month window. It includes:

• the local figures beside the force area and England and Wales, for the same period and published dataset
• how close records sit to your postcode
• a chart of every crime category and a violence and sexual offences trend
• stop and search in the same circle
• a wider-area page with published street-crime records per 1,000 residents for your postcode's sector and district, and the district's deprivation mix, where the site publishes them, for those whole areas rather than the circle

The PDF also says where published police data is approximate, especially location points and outcome labels.

See where the incidents actually concentrate

The maps come right after the cover page. Published records rarely spread evenly: a handful of corners, parades, and cut-throughs usually account for most of the local total. The concentration map shows those clusters and names the most repeated location labels, and up to two separate maps repeat the view for crime types with 10 or more records each: one for violence and sexual offences when it has that many, the rest for the largest types - so you can see, for example, where vehicle crime clusters versus where violence and sexual offences do.

Locations in published police data are approximate by design, and the map says so on the page. It shows broad concentrations, not exact addresses.

The postcode crime checker page answers which postcodes the check covers and what it shows.

Where the data comes from

Data comes from the official police data portal (data.police.uk), run by the Home Office. Reports explain what the dataset can and cannot tell you, including reporting gaps and approximate location handling. Selling paid reports, report packs, and business API plans is how the free dashboards, maps, articles, and 12-month reports stay free - see the about page for how the service supports itself.
