UK Crime Statistics Map

Explore crime data across the United Kingdom. Search for specific locations, compare crime rates between areas, and understand safety trends in your neighborhood.

About This Data

Crime data is sourced from the UK Police public data API, which provides detailed information about crimes reported to police forces across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

How to use: Enter a postcode or location name in the search box below to view crime statistics for that area. The map will show recent crime incidents, and charts will display trends over time.

📍 Shows 1-mile radius data

Crime data is shown for a 1-mile radius around the searched location. For accurate local crime statistics, use a specific postcode (e.g., M1 1AA) rather than a city name. City searches only show a small sample area near the city center.

Data Limitations

  • • Data represents reported crimes, not all crimes committed

Important Note:

Crime statistics should be considered alongside other factors when evaluating an area. Population density, economic factors, and reporting practices all influence crime rates. Always visit an area in person and speak with local residents when making housing decisions.
