Analyst reading
What the evidence says
- The latest month was 2.0% lower than the preceding month.
- Violent Crime was the largest recorded category, representing 38.5% of the 12-month total.
- This is an LAD-wide context view. A property decision should combine it with the postcode map and other validated layers rather than treating the council total as a street-level risk score.
