What Coventry crime data isn't
- Reported, not actual. Many crimes go unreported. The data reflects what reached Police.uk, not the underlying incidence rate.
- Locations are obfuscated. Each incident is mapped to a snap point within roughly 250 metres of the true location to protect victim privacy.
- Force-by-force inconsistency. Different police forces classify and record borderline incidents differently. Comparing two areas covered by different forces needs care.
- Patrol-density bias. Areas with heavier patrol presence record more incidents, partly because more crime is observed and reported.
