Crime Scanner

About

Crime Scanner allows you to interactively visualise street level crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) incidents in your area. You can filter counts of crime and ASB over the last three years and see the results in linked visualisations.

Data

The application retrieves police recorded crime and incidents of anti-social behaviour in England from data.police.uk. Thirteen different crime categories are available. Crime and anti-social behaviour incidents can be filtered by Local Authority District, Electoral ward and best-fitting Lower-layer Super Output Area (LSOA) levels.

Please note:

Sharing

Crime Scanner can be set to load data for a specific area by bookmarking the page once the reported crime and ASB data have loaded. The application can also be embedded in your website using an iframe. For example,

				<iframe src="http://www.trafforddatalab.io/crime_scanner/?code=E08000009&name=Trafford" width="100%" height="800px"></iframe>
