Where does the data come from and how often is this website updated with it?

Right now, the publicly available monthly crime data is published by www.police.uk once a month here http://www.police.uk/data. So we update our website with that data once a month, after it has been cleaned for errors, typos etc. – of which there are still too many. On achieving a clean dataset, we aim to add the data to our database for www.ukcrimestats.com within 1 week of it being published for you to see and usually less than that.

All our historical data is stored here and this is what we display http://www.ukcrimestats.com/Disclaimer/ – we are not responsible for historical data changed on police.uk.
