Police Launch Crime Mapping Website
The launch of a new feature on a police website has given the public access to find out which areas of Lincoln are the most severely hit by crime.
The new feature of “Crime Maps” on the police.uk website allows visitor to search their home city or post code, and a map with the amount of crimes in each area is displayed.
The crimes are then slit into different categories on the side of the page, and by clicking on each respective number, a breakdown of the number is then supplied.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the highest crime rate in Lincoln comes in the town centre, with a total of 62 offences around the area of the night clubs Ritzy and Sakura.
Taking the second spot on the podium is the area arund the rail station, with a total of 59 reported crimes in the area.
The final podium spot is taken by Monks road with a total of 46 crimes reported to the police.
