Locations are approximate: police.uk moves every crime to a nearby anonymised map point, so these counts include some crimes just outside the area and miss some just inside it, and they cover the streets around the postcode, not the postcode itself. They show crimes reported to the police, not how likely you are to be a victim: busy town centres, shops and stations record more crime because more people pass through.
