August 2012 data now live on UKCrimeStats

We have also introduced a new feature for our members – it is now possible to drill down and ask within a selected Police Force or municipality, which neighbourhood hood or subdivision had the biggest, least, total or increase or decrease in this that or the other type of crime between time point A and B.

I ran it for the Metropolitan Police for the last month and was staggered to see the biggest increase was in the neighbourhood of Pembridge – from at total combined ASB and Crime of 132 in July 2012 to 318 in August 2012 driven mostly by  the categories of”Drugs” and “Other Crime”. I’ve double-checked the data though and this is clearly what it says.
