Fourteen published crime groups
Each report shows burglary, robbery, shoplifting, vehicle crime and the ten other street-level groups separately. The page does not turn a broad statistical group into a specific charge.
Crime reports by local authority
Choose a defined administrative area in England or Wales. Every published report uses the same complete period, all 14 street-level offence groups and a checked resident-population denominator.

The directory will appear when the newest materialised period passes its completeness checks.

No partial report is published. Use the national ranking or postcode tool while the newest authority summary is checked.
Why local authorities, not informal city labels?
A city name can describe a council, built-up area, postcode collection or travel-to-work area. Local-authority boundaries provide a repeatable numerator and population denominator, so every report can be compared on the same basis.
Coverage rule
Greater Manchester authorities are excluded because GMP has not supplied this street-level dataset since July 2019. Missing publication is never converted into a zero.
Rate rule
Resident rates improve comparison but do not count commuters, tourists or nightlife footfall. Each report shows both the raw count and rate.
Read the comparison guideWhat every area page contains
Count, rate and national rank
A raw count answers how many records were published. A rate divides that count by the resident estimate and multiplies by 1,000. The rank uses that same rate and period for every included authority.
A completed source window
Reports use a completed 12-month period, never a mixture of partial months. The source supplies an incident month rather than an exact day, and map coordinates remain approximate.
Use the directory when you need a defined council-area view. Use crime by postcode for a postal district, the crime map for approximate points, or police-force data for file coverage. Those geographies answer different questions and should not be treated as interchangeable.
