Crime: Maps

Mr. Grieve
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police forces provide crime maps on their websites which plot individual crimes at street level.

Mr. Coaker
The Information Commissioner does not recommend plotting individual crimes at street level because of the potential identification of individuals and premises. All 43 forces in England and Wales therefore publish crime maps to, at least, ward level, with information on burglary, robbery, theft, vehicle crime, violent crime and antisocial behaviour incidents.
