police.uk locations are anonymised snap points — an approximation of where the crime happened, not a precise location. Counts are of crimes and anti-social behaviour incidents recorded within the boundary, not a rate. The boundary is this place's own outline, simplified before it is queried: police.uk accepts a single shape of limited length, so the outline is reduced to at most 90 points. Where a place's boundary comes in more than one piece, only the largest piece is counted.
