It comes with Britain gripped by a crime epidemic. Labour is under pressure to get tougher on offenders to stop rates spiralling and avoid triggering a backlash among working class voters desperate for a crackdown. More than 2.2million violent or sexual crimes reported to police across 2023/24 in England and Wales, according to Government figures. It marked one of the worst years on record, with reports of crimes such as assault, GBH, murder, rape and sexual assault having tripled over the last decade. Powered with official statistics, our map breaks down crime rates by 'Lower layer Super Output Areas' (LSOAs) - communities consisting of around 500 to 1,500 people. Each neighbourhood is ranked by offences per 1,000 population, allowing you to see where the hotspots are. The darker the red, the higher the crime rate. To find your area, select your local police force from the drop-down list and zoom into wherever you want to search.
