How to read this

It shows crime reported to the police. Many crimes are never reported.
Levels compare areas within Birmingham. The same level in another city does not mean the same.
It is not a prediction, and it says nothing about any person or building.
Please do not use it for decisions about housing, lending, insurance or employment.

Covers the City of Birmingham, not the rest of the West Midlands.
UK police publish the month of each crime but not the time of day, so day and night views are not available for Birmingham.
UK police group all violence and sexual offences, and all vehicle crime, into one category each.
Locations are moved to the nearest of a set of anonymous points (usually the middle of a street) by the police to protect privacy.
