How to read it

This is recorded crime, not all crime. It counts what was reported to and logged by the police. A rise can mean more crime or better reporting, and offences people do not report — much fraud, most domestic abuse — barely show up at all.

Twelve months, so it is a rate not a fluke. Everything here is the twelve months to July 2026, expressed per 1,000 residents a year. An earlier version used a single month, where one bad week in a small seat moved the number a long way.

City centres are not where the victims live. The rate is offences divided by residents. Somewhere like Cities of London and Westminster tops the table partly because a million people a day arrive to work, shop and drink there and almost nobody lives there. The same distortion applies to every town centre seat.

Grey seats have no usable data. Greater Manchester Police did not publish street-level data for this period, so its 27 constituencies arrive at almost exactly zero. Taken at face value that would make Bury, Rochdale and Oldham the safest places in the country. They are grey and left out of the rankings — grey means unknown, not safe.

Gloucestershire is shown, but is probably understated. It published some months and not others, so its seats sit at the bottom of the real range rather than off the scale. There is no clean line between "partly published" and "genuinely quiet", so rather than guess we show the figures and tell you to treat the county's seats with caution.

Why Scotland and Northern Ireland are missing

Two nations are absent, for two completely different reasons.

Northern Ireland publishes — we have not added it yet. The Police Service of Northern Ireland files street-level crime to police.uk every month, exactly as the forces here do. The hold-up is boundaries, not openness: the ONS publishes current 2024 constituency boundaries for England and Wales only, and Northern Ireland's come from a separate source we are still working through. That is our problem to solve, and nothing for anyone in Belfast to answer for.

Scotland publishes nothing at this level. Police Scotland releases no street-level open data at all. There is no Scottish equivalent of the file behind this map, so there is nothing to plot — that is not something we can fix by working harder. Scottish crime figures come out as periodic aggregate statistics, which tell you a national total but never what happened on your street.

If you live in Scotland and want this, ask for it. The people to ask are your MSPs at Holyrood — you have eight, one constituency member and seven regional. Policing is devolved, so this is a decision for the Scottish Parliament and Police Scotland, and no Westminster MP can grant it. Ask for something specific rather than "more transparency": monthly street-level crime data, published openly, at the granularity England, Wales and Northern Ireland already manage.
