Stop and search

A separate layer, one tap away

Switch the map to stop and search records. You can see the type, object of search, legislation, outcome and, where recorded, demographics, exactly as published. These records are never linked to any crime record.

Crime detail

Every crime, with its outcome history

Tap any point to see the individual crimes recorded there, then tap through for the category, month, approximate location and full outcome history.

Save a crime and check for a newer outcome whenever you like.

Saved crime locations

Watch a spot over time

Save any crime location on the map, such as a station, car park or shopping area, and come back to it whenever you like.

• Fetch every crime recorded at that exact point for up to the past 24 months
• Crimes are grouped by month, with each one’s latest outcome
• See at a glance whether a spot is getting quieter or busier

Area stats

Context, not just a count

• Category breakdowns and the top 5 busiest crime locations for any search, plus the top 3 for each category
• An estimated crime rate per 1,000 residents, based on 2021 Census population data
• An annualised rate for shorter search windows

Trends

Is it getting better or worse?

Month-by-month trend charts for total crime and each category, so you can spot a one-off spike or a steady change. You can choose how many months the Trend view shows by default.

Compare areas

Compare different areas side by side

• Add each area by postcode, address, coordinates, a saved location or a point picked on the map
• One shared radius and time period for a fair comparison
• Total crime counts, category breakdowns by count or share, and monthly trend lines (raw or indexed)
• Stop and search patterns for each area
• The labels stay fixed as you scroll, so even a busy comparison stays easy to read
