Crime map of the UK.

Would you have a look at the colours on that map! :eek:

From the centre of London to the city of Reading, all one sees is the colour red. Even Fareham, another great town being transformed for the better by multiculturalism, is covered by red.

It doesn't seem to get any better travelling north across England, but even Glasgow and Edinburgh are as half as bad as the South East.

For some reason the map doesn't come up for me. Could you make a screenshot?

^^ No surprise that city areas carry the highest crime -- it has always been like that. However, you will notice in London that the highest crime areas are South-Central London areas that have the highest black population (i.e. the region stretching from Peckham-Elephant & Castle).

[Murphy]

Ah, but what type of crime are we talking about here? is it just crime in general, or is it violent crimes, property crimes, sex crimes etc.?

Of course. I wouldn't suggest otherwise that cities=higher rates of crime, but as you have correctly pointed out for London so to can be said for Bristol. The interesting thing about Bristol is the lack of any red areas. The highest crime areas are situated in the "black areas" of Bristol, but then of course it seems the "white areas" are keeping up just as well.

Bristol has always been a place to upturn the norm :D

Chavs! :D I wonder what areas like Southend and Brighton would look like ... I've heard they can be quite rowdy at times. ;)

I honestly don't know. I have contacted the company requesting a suitable answer.

I would rather live in a bright-red area where all the crimes are baisically theft, than a low-yellow area where all crimes seem to be rape or murder :p.

Reminds me of this website also up my street. http://www.upmystreet.com/local/neighbours-in-eh54-6jp.html

Oh how the mighty have fallen.:(
THEN

Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be wealthy commuters living in villages. These are known as type 3 in the ACORN classification and 2.7% of the UK's population live in this type.

Neighbourhoods fitting this profile are found throughout the shire counties, especially in Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire as well as in Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex.
This type of postcode comprises wealthy people living in rural villages, predominantly in the shire counties of England. Given the rural nature of these areas, there is some agricultural employment but most residents are affluent, well educated professional people employed in senior managerial positions. There is also more working from home in this type.

Residents tend to be older, aged 45+, with fewer children and more retired people. Housing is spacious, with four or more bedrooms, mostly detached and at the upper end of the property price ladder. Reflecting the older age profile, more properties are owned outright than being bought on a mortgage.

Car ownership is high with more people commuting by car than by rail. Two or more cars per household is common, with high value cars being the norm.

These are financially astute householders, with high levels of ownership of stocks and shares, unit trusts and guaranteed income bonds. The Internet is used to research and purchase financial products as well as cars, holidays and other products.

Leisure interests include walking, bird watching, the fine arts, antiques, classical music and the opera. Membership of the National Trust is also popular.

Favoured newspapers tend to be the Telegraph, The Times and Financial Times.


NOW




Often, many of the people who live in this sort of postcode will be low income, older people living in smaller semis. These are known as type 45 in the ACORN classification and 3.03% of the UK's population live in this type.

Neighbourhoods fitting this profile can be found across the country but main concentrations are in the West Midlands and the North East in towns such as Wolverhampton, Walsall and Dudley, Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland.
These typically council properties house an older population, many with significant health problems.

In these areas the retired are unlikely to have any pension provision beyond that provided by the state. Working people will be in routine jobs in shops, on the factory floor or in other manual occupations. This results in low incomes. Whether due to their age or previous work, a number of people suffer from long-term illness.

The housing is small, usually one or two bedrooms. It is generally rented from the council or housing association. Fewer than half of these households have a car of any sort.

With so little spare money, spending is limited to a funeral plan, playing bingo and the lottery, betting and going to the pub. These people are unlikely to be frequent high street shoppers, preferring to buy from catalogues by mail order. Leisure activities are similarly limited. Some may do a little gardening or go fishing.

This map has been conjured out of some dubious data. According to it, Bristol should be a remarkably safe city, which, in reality, it most certainly is not. I'd recommend this website:

It amazes me that no men have formed a suitable organisation in our country.

[The Lawspeaker]

Am I just silly or can you basically overlap the "Constituency Map" and the "Crime Map" ? The higher the level of crime- the higher the level of Labour-constituents.

Out of choicing to reside in Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, London or Bristol, I can assure you that Bristol would be the first choice in matters like crime levels.

Hi John

Thanks for your e-mail regarding crime data.

The Maps themselves are based on a number of index's to provide a
modelled view of overall crime. Unfortunately, the data sources and the
exact modelling methodologies used are commercially sensitive.

Hope that helps and thank you for contacting us

Our best wishes

Message : On your crime map of Great Britain, may I ask what crime in
particular it is that you base these results on, and whether you could
indulge what sources you used?

Many thanks,

John
