Key stats

What these numbers mean

Theft dominates Peterborough's reported incidents, accounting for nearly half of all cases in this 60-day window. Fraud and the broad 'Other' category also contribute significantly, while violent incidents make up a smaller share at 98 reports. With only 2026 data available, it is not possible to identify trends, but the high proportion of theft and fraud suggests a focus on property-related crime. The absence of neighbourhood-level data limits further geographic insights.
