Earlier published records are retained with their original dates. They are an archive of the evidence used, not newly rechecked statistics.
Sussex Police did not provide crime data for January 2026 at the original publication. The checked changelog does not explicitly confirm a later crime-data refresh for that month. Published monthly records are retained, but annual totals, rates and year-on-year comparisons spanning that month are withheld pending confirmation. This does not mean the currently returned records are absent. Historical source archives remain unchanged; use the reviewed evidence package for current interpretation. Publication notice ↗
2026 ONS official electoral ward membership and May 2026 generalised clipped boundaries. These are not police neighbourhoods or parishes.
Original Census 2021 observations. Chichester and Portsmouth use published ward values; Southampton uses sums of complete Census output-area counts through the official 2026 ONS best-fit lookup. Output areas can straddle ward boundaries; best-fit allocation is an approximation. Census privacy protection can cause small differences between totals and summed categories.
The same Census definitions, reference day and denominator rules are used. Small differences between direct ward publication and OA aggregation are possible; neither is a current population estimate.
Agent source/category/geography and calculation checks; independent analytical review remains outstanding.

Approximate recorded locations; not all crime or personal risk.
Our approach follows the AQuA Book: keep a clear question, record sources and assumptions, test calculations and show uncertainty. Automated checks are not independent analytical review or certification.
Council documents are checked for changes; a changed page goes into a review queue. It does not automatically become a new claim or a completed project. Source failures retain the last successful evidence and are recorded.
