latitude, longitude, locationType, locationSubtype,
outcomeCategory, outcomeDate, context, persistentId.
Notes
- Leave
monthunset unless you need a specific one. police.uk publishes several weeks in arrears, so a hardcoded recent month silently returns nothing once the calendar moves past it. Omitted, the API serves the latest month it actually has. - The API returns everything within roughly a one mile radius with no
server-side paging — a central London point yields several thousand rows,
which is what
maxItemsis for. - Locations are deliberately approximate. Each crime is snapped to a nearby anonymous map point ("On or near ..."), never the actual address, so coordinates identify a street, not a building or a victim.
outcome_statusisnullfor a large share of records, which means no outcome has been recorded yet rather than no action taken.
