The much hyped crimes maps of the UK website which was launched this week. Free access is given to street level crime maps and data for your local area, searchable by postcode. Statistics are grouped under the following headings: burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, other crime and anti-social behaviour. They are compiled from data supplied by each individual police force from their crime and incident recording systems. Updates are planned monthly on the 22nd of each month (approximately). The site links to local police contact names, meeting information and websites. The Guardian datablog has used this to generate Britain’s top crime ridden streets at http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/datablog/2011/feb/02/ukcrime-data-store
