Or at least if you luve in West Yorkshire, have a look at this website and see what crime has been going on in your postcode.

http://www.beatcrime.info/

It's mildly interesting.
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Well thats not all that useful to me, not living there and all.

    I know that crime is about double the national average in my neck of the woods.

    not a right lot. a few burglaries, a couple of nicked cars, one episode of anti-social behaviour. i bet it was that crazy almost-100-year-old down the road. he's a right one. slap an ASBO on him.

    Couldn't find any crime statistics on West Midlands Police website. I did find an amusing page asking people not to call the police asking where there's a chemist open though.

    if you look on www.statistics.gov.uk you should be able to find crime statistics in your area. my area is relatively crime-less...

    Mines pretty calm overall, few bits being nicked from cars though.

    Ohh yes thank you.

    It's just that thing that Tweety posted the other day and where i live is pretty good until you get to the theft from a motor vehicle where the rate is 13.9/1000 in Charnwood as opposed to 11.9/1000 for the rest of the uk.

    I think i can sleep safely at night anyway.

    For where I am at uni the crime rate is above the uk rate in alll of them.
    For where I live at home, the rate is below on all of them.

    I think I want to go home :(

    we share a postcode with harehills and gipton (think falluja), which usually skew the figures.

    but i think that west yorkshire one took account of the second bit of postcode, which they normally don't, so it was pretty accurate.

    it must have done because we were well below the average for everything other than robbing cars which sounds pretty acurate to me.

    There's hardly any crime in the whole county I live in. Excellent news...

    Coventry is above the national figure for everything and twice the national figure for robbery and burglary. No surprise there then.

    i trust my insurance company more ...they say i live in a very low crime area ...
    i think the main crime here is horse and cattle rustling.
    sometimes ...a hundred sheep will dissapear overnight from a farmers field ...big tyre tracks across the field are all that is to be seen.
    but cattle and horse theives work big time around here.

    Beatcrime.info uses your whole postcode to work out which police beat you are in and shows you the crimes & crime rates for that whole beat, not just your postcode area. Beats vary in size depending on the area and the policing requirements. City center beats are generally smaller than rural beats, which is something you need to bear in mind when you're looking at the dots on maps.
    If you're just looking at an area without knowing the postcode, you can drill down from West Yorkshire.

    Those in WY who've looked at it, what do you think, is there more or less crime in your area than you expected or is it about what you thought?
