The Home Office has announced that crime mapping is now available for all 43 Police forces in England and Wales.
These have been implemented on a force by force basis so there is not as yet a consistent way to access each of them. You are instead advised:
To see a crime map for your area, go to the website of your local force and search for ‘crime map’.
To facilitate this, a full list of links to the individual Police force sites is available on the national Police website.
Feedback on the different implementations would be interesting to inform the next steps for crime mapping development.
It should also be an objective of this process to create better availability and consistency of the underlying crime data sets so that other parties can innovate with their own versions of crime maps.
