Crime in the Norwich sample

The latest police.uk month in this fetch is August 2026. That lag is normal. These are not this week’s incidents, and nobody is named.

Seven one-mile samples, one around each NR reference point, deduplicated by police.uk id and assigned to the nearest point. The Golden Triangle is an extra 1.1km radius and overlaps NR2. It is not an official boundary.
