AndrewOW Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Have a look at your area for crime and stats. Fascinating stuff. If it doesn't crash! http://www.police.uk/ Do you still feel safe in your home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Very interesting I wanted to look at this when I heard about it but I forgot. There has been a burglary on my road, 2 more on roads right near me and vehicle and violent crimes nearby. Think I'll sit in the Supra with the air rifle tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 omg...is that even accurate Mine came up over 100 ASBs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fascinating. There's a single 'other crime' where I live, which is quite frankly absolutely terrifying (who knows what this crime was!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The only useful thing about it is finding out the local telephone number for the cop shop. The rest of it is just useless. Fair enough you can find out if there are 20 ASBOs in the area but surely that does nothing to build community spirit which is so lacking these days. Besides, you can already do a neighbourhood search through the land registry if you're moving into a new area. /pah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 12 in my area, none within 1/2 a mile of my house though. A colleague used to work in a bad area in Leeds and it came out at 1677 crimes in the past month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It only gives figures for Dec 2010, but it gives a good indication of how cr&p an area is. For instance, my mum's address yeilds 2 results. But when I've stuck my new postcode in, I get 164 hits!! To be fair, The area does incorporate a town centre and there's plenty of ASB in there on a Fri and Sat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Fascinating. There's a single 'other crime' where I live, which is quite frankly absolutely terrifying (who knows what this crime was!). Only one? 87 near me. 418 crimes in total. Then again, I live in the town centre, surrounded by pubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I put my old address in when I lived in Preston and got 496 hits!!! it was a sh!t hole though (Preston) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying a house in a "disadvantaged" area (although the house is located slightly outwards from the whole area) so would like to know more about the community.
