What makes up the total

The Met groups individual offence types into broader categories. The bars show each category’s share of the latest borough total, making composition easier to compare than a table of raw numbers alone.

What changed — and what the chart cannot prove

Evidence

Comparable borough records

Every point uses the same Met dataset and borough geography. Compare Ealing with itself across multiple months before treating a movement as meaningful.

Limit

Recorded does not mean committed

Reports by victims, recording practice and police operations can all change the count. Population and visitor exposure also differ between boroughs.
