Description Usage Arguments Value Note Examples
Crimes at street-level; either within a 1 mile radius of a single point, or within a custom area. The street-level crimes returned in the API are only an approximation of where the actual crimes occurred, they are not the exact locations. See the about page (https://data.police.uk/about/#location-anonymisation) for more information about location anonymisation. Note that crime levels may appear lower in Scotland, as only the British Transport Police provide this data.

a tibble with the columns:
category: Category of the crime (https://data.police.uk/docs/method/crime-street/)
persistent_id: 64-character unique identifier for that crime. (This is different to the existing 'id' attribute, which is not guaranteed to always stay the same for each crime.)
date: Date of the crime YYYY-MM
latitude: Latitude
longitude: Longitude
street_id: Unique identifier for the street
street_name: Name of the location. This is only an approximation of where the crime happened
context: Extra information about the crime (if applicable)
id: ID of the crime. This ID only relates to the API, it is NOT a police identifier
location_type: The type of the location. Either Force or BTP: Force indicates a normal police force location; BTP indicates a British Transport Police location. BTP locations fall within normal police force boundaries.
location_subtype: For BTP locations, the type of location at which this crime was recorded.
outcome_status: The category and date of the latest recorded outcome for the crime
The API will return a 400 status code in response to a GET request longer than 4094 characters. For submitting particularly complex poly parameters, consider using POST instead.
