Source and methodology

These are crimes recorded by police in the Bandelierkop precinct, not all crime that occurred there. Cases that were never reported do not appear, and reporting rates differ between areas and between categories.
Figures are counts, not rates. The source data contains no population figure for a precinct, so CrimeMap SA cannot show crime per 100,000 people and does not estimate one. A precinct covering a dense area will usually record more of everything.
Precinct boundaries change over time as stations are opened, closed or redrawn. A large movement in a single year can reflect a boundary change rather than a change in recorded crime.

Figures are crimes recorded by the South African Police Service. Read the full methodology.
