CrimeTrends is a UK crime statistics and safety analytics platform that turns Police.uk data into comparable information about local areas. It covers 331 local authorities across 43 police forces in England and Wales, with data spanning towns, wards and more than 2.1 million postcodes. Refreshed monthly, its reports and tools help users explore recorded crime, compare locations and understand changes over time.

The platform presents crime rates per 1,000 residents, alongside area rankings, maps and historical trends reaching back up to five years. Users can search for a town or postcode, review ward-level breakdowns, compare areas side by side, and explore statistics for specific offences such as burglary, vehicle crime, bicycle theft, shoplifting and violence. CrimeTrends also publishes monthly intelligence reports and explains its methodology, including its use of population figures to make comparisons more meaningful.

Designed for homebuyers, landlords, agents, journalists and researchers, CrimeTrends supports informed decisions with accessible, normalized crime data. Its information is sourced from Police.uk and provided under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
