UK Facts calculation: output-area counts summed using the official NRS 2022 geography index only when every required cell is numeric. The source dash has no verified definition in the archive or its disclosure notes, so affected sums are withheld; it is not treated as zero. Dash-cell counts are retained in diagnostics. Cells are privacy-adjusted and may not add to independently published totals. Each percentage uses its own table denominator.

Source and coverage explanation →

Police.uk street records do not cover ordinary Police Scotland crime. Scottish recorded-crime figures use their own definitions and are shown separately where available.

The chart below covers the whole council area. It is context for this ward, not a ward total.

Data table and workings

Published Scottish annual recorded crimes, separately from offences. Different recording/counting rules from England and Wales; no UK crime ranking.

Council-area annual totals; not street-level mapped incidents.

Scottish crimes and offences are distinct categories. These figures are not directly comparable with England/Wales mapped crime.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.
