How the England & Wales figures work

Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Brian Fox, a former Garda Analyst with a postgraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. After years in law enforcement and data analytics roles, I recognised how hard it was for people to access clear information on local crime trends, with heavy reliance on news headlines. Crime-Stats.co.uk solves for this, turning raw, cumbersome data into easy-to-explore insights that add value to communities and help them understand what's happening in their area.

Our Mission & Values

Data Driven

We aggregate publicly available datasets and transform raw numbers into clear, interactive insights.

Innovation & Solutions for Security Intelligence

We keep building new tools that turn raw crime data into practical, actionable intelligence for communities and security professionals alike.

Open & Transparent

We believe in open data. All statistics come straight from authoritative sources and are never altered or manipulated.
