Crime-Eye
About
Introduction to Crime-Eye
Crime-Eye is a UK informational crime tracking website that allows users to check how populated crimes are in different neighbouring areas. UK crime data is collected from PoliceAPI which is made freely accessible to the public, our map is built from MapBox to provide users an interactive and searchable map, and our real-time news is provided by NewsDataAPI.
General Use
Crime-Eye is used to convey specific and helpful information related to crime in UK areas you search for or for finding crimes in your current local area. Users are able to create an account by either creating a local account or signing in with their Twitter account. An account must be signed in to be able to access our interactive map as part of our age-restriction policy. Users must be 13 years or older to access our map.
Disclaimer notice: We strongly do not encourage users to actively seekout crime in real-life and therefore take no reponsibility in the outcomes of personal injuries or liabilites with the usage of this website.
Instructional Usage
Users are able to search for crime data in specific UK (England, Northern Ireland and Wales) locations using our geocoder search bar, once an area is searched a list of valid UK areas will be returned in a selectable list in which the user must select an area.
A list of markers on the map will be generated, where each individual marker represents one crime that has occurred. Clicking on the marker will provider an informational pop-up that will show more information relating to this single crime.
If users wish to search for more precise locations, our geocoder search bar allows the inputs of longitude and latitude coordinate pairs in the form of [Lng, Lat]. For example, if users wished to search for a longitude of -0.5 and a latitude of 50 it will be entered as "-0.5, 50" in the geocoder search bar.
We offer a mouse cursor tracker at the bottom-left of the map, which provides the current coordinates of the map using the cursor's current position relative to the map's geometric position to assist users in finding a specific pair of coordinates on the map.
Why use Crime-Eye?
Crime-Eye aims to assist users with up-to-date crime data gathering, we aim to provide social awareness in crime activities through the usage of statistical crime data analysis, including but not limited to: visual graphs displaying popular and tracked crimes, map coordinates of previous crime locations, legal outcomes of individual witness reports, real-time news associated with recent crimes etc.
Where Crime-Eye works
Detailed crime map: street-level Police API searches, heatmaps, comparisons and UK area rankings cover England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scotland is not included in the Police API street-crime dataset.
International incident maps: Crime-Eye also reads official coordinate-level open data for Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and San Francisco in the United States, and Toronto in Canada. These locations use the same incident pins, density heatmap and comparison tools as UK searches. Published coordinates may be rounded, offset or otherwise anonymised by the source authority.
Holiday safety guide: country-level guidance covers the countries and territories published by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. Rankings are shown where a comparable World Bank/UNODC homicide rate is also available.
Country comparisons: imported international profiles include Eurostat offence rates, Denmark municipality/region rates, Norway police-district rates, optional FBI state rates and worldwide World Bank/UNODC homicide rates.
Holiday scores combine official warning status and reported homicide rates. They do not measure every risk, can vary within a country, and are not a guarantee of personal safety.
