We have been mapping out the landscape for crime data in the UK and the list of sources for England and Wales we have come across is below. We don’t pretend this is comprehensive or 100% accurate (e.g. some references are to specific time data from a couple of months ago) so if you have any additions/corrections please make them by comment to this post.
A central initiative has been announced by the Home Secretary for all Police forces to produce some crime maps by December of this year. We hope this initiative will deliver some good results. While innovation by anyone else who has ideas about how best to present and mash crime data would be helpful in this process.
