I doubt it's accuracy. I entered my post code, and was told that in the three or four streets around mine, that last month there were at least 4 burglaries, several violent assaults, a few other crimes and over 120 ASBOs.

Now, the thing is, I live here. I think we would have seen the Police around here a lot more if the area was that bad.

It's also worth noting that according to the official figures, there where only just over 1,000 ASBOS issued in the WHOLE of 2007 for the borough of which the few streets covered by my postcode are a VERY small part.
