So where are they across England and Wales?
Well over the last 12 months (Oct-23 to Sept-24), they’re all in London, as measured by the number “Theft from the Person” crimes per hectare. You can do that with a login on our Neighbourhood report page.

We couldn’t include Greater Manchester Police neighbourhoods because they have somewhat incredibly not provided data to www.police.uk for over 5 years now. Northern Ireland too is becoming an open data miss – no data from there for over a year now too. Credit though to the Team covering the West End – the trend is very much down over the last 12 months as shown by the chart here below and on that neighbourhood’s page here.
