In plain English

B42 2LJ: policing open data lists 284 incidents across about six months for the neighbourhood zone we use (a heavier headline slice versus many UK postcodes — the table shows what dominates; seriousness still varies record by record). Totals bounce with seasons and reporting changes — charts and maps unlock with credits if you want more depth.

Across the 28 policing rows we show (from 284 incidents in this neighbourhood slice), counts bunch under “Criminal damage and arson”, “Drugs”, and “Anti-social behaviour” (together about 93% of this sample) — handy orientation, not a moral verdict.

This is distilled guidance — double-check policing, councils, insurers, solicitors and regulators when decisions are high stakes.
