Police data has identified the areas across Cambridgeshire which see the most violent and sexual offences.
Maps on the police.uk website use data from November 2021 to show where offences have taken place. Specific locations have been anonymised, but the maps show the areas and streets where certain crimes have been more frequent.
The maps are produced using data submitted by the local police forces, but not all crimes that have occurred can be shown on the map.
