About this dataset

Reporting basis: Counts reflect incidents reported to police only. Under-reporting — especially for sexual assault, fraud, and minor theft — means actual incidence is higher than these figures show.
Not a per-capita rate: These are absolute incident counts. Comparing one place’s counts to another without normalising for population can mislead — see crime rates per 100,000 for population-adjusted figures.
Upstream revisions: Police services occasionally re-classify or correct prior reports; year totals may shift when our pipeline re-ingests an updated dataset.
Partial-year windows: If the year is in progress or only a partial window is published, counts are partial and not directly comparable to full prior years.
