The new maps were launched by all 43 police forces in England and Wales at the beginning of this year.

The local details in the maps compliment official crimes figures which today showed that the number of robberies involving knives shot up by nearly a fifth last year.

The number of offences recorded by police in England and Wales rose by 18 per cent from 3,951 to 4,207 between July and September, the Home Office statistics revealed. The number of murders involving knives also rose, by 10 per cent.

Domestic burglaries were up 4 per cent, fraud and forgery up 16 per cent and drug offences up 9 per cent, the quarterly crime figures revealed

The overall level of recorded crime was down 3 per cent, the figures showed, and the number of recorded firearms offences plummeted by a third.
