We count crimes and offences recorded by the police, without acts that didn’t happen or aren’t punishable. We leave out fraud and economic crime, which the police record where they are reported. The location is blurred to the centre of a small area. In the centre, near stations and big shopping centres visitors and commuters push the numbers up; in small districts a few cases make a big difference.
