Street-level crime data
Street-level crime data is geographically fine-grained public crime records: incident-level rows in the UK and Los Angeles releases versus jurisdiction-year aggregates in the FBI's Crime Data Explorer. data.police.uk snaps incidents to streets and LSOAs for anonymity, while LAPD rounds addresses to the hundred block. In Datadory's catalog of 1,744 datasets, data.police.uk and LA Crime Data are working examples.
What is Street-level crime data?
Street-level crime data are geographically fine-grained public crime records: incident-level rows in the UK and Los Angeles releases versus jurisdiction-year aggregates in the FBI's Crime Data Explorer. data.police.uk snaps incidents to streets and LSOAs for anonymity, while LAPD rounds addresses to the hundred block.
In this catalog it appears concretely: - data.police.uk — "street-level crime, outcomes, and stop-and-search across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with monthly CSV archive downloads and a free documented JSON API". - LA Crime Data (granularity) — "Individual crime incidents (1,004,894 records), each with up to four crime codes". - FBI Crime Data Explorer (granularity) — "Offense counts aggregated by year, jurisdiction, and offense category (not incident-level records)".
Why does Street-level crime data matter when choosing a dataset?
A label on a listing is not a deliverable. Teams that license on the strength of a product-name match routinely find the shipped files cover a narrower slice than they assumed, and backfilling history afterwards costs more than the license ever did.
The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and data.police.uk lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
How do you evaluate Street-level crime data in a data source?
Treat every claim of this attribute as testable:
- Open data.police.uk and confirm its record — "street-level crime, outcomes, and stop-and-search across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with monthly CSV archive downloads and a free documented JSON API" — against the files you actually receive. 2. Read LA Crime Data's record on granularity — "Individual crime incidents (1,004,894 records), each with up to four crime codes" — then confirm the delivered artifact matches before you license anything. 3. Read FBI Crime Data Explorer's record on granularity — "Offense counts aggregated by year, jurisdiction, and offense category (not incident-level records)" — then confirm the delivered artifact matches before you license anything. 4. Pin down update cadence in writing.
