Crime categories – overall context

In order to provide the most accurate and meaningful representation possible, crime data on this site is broken down according to whether it occurred at a station or on a train. The total of these two is also provided. Where the exact location of on–train crime is not known (e.g. theft of luggage that was discovered at the end of a journey), the location is recorded as the station at the end of the journey. End of line locations may therefore show disproportionately high levels of on–train crime and it is important to view on–train data in this context.

Crime data displayed on the system is based on the date on which the offence was committed. Crimes per hundred thousand passengers are provided for every station to put crime data in context and to enable comparison between different stations. Average passenger numbers are also provided for clarity. Station crime data includes crimes committed at all railway property, including car parks, station shops, station concourses and platforms. Crimes committed on the line between stations are not included as they cannot be assigned to individual stations and do not necessarily reflect crime levels at those stations.

Detailed information on crime categories

The crime categories represented on BTP’s crime maps are the same categories used by Home Office forces, with the exception of anti–social behaviour, where non–notifiable public disorder offences are included in addition to the notifiable offences displayed by Home Office forces. The separate offence codes used in Scotland are also included where appropriate. Total notifiable offences are calculated by adding offences listed under ‘Other notifiable offences’ to the other crime categories detailed below (excluding non–notifiable anti–social behaviour).

The detailed offences which make up each crime category used are represented below:
