Criminal map reading
New crime maps have been published for England and Wales. People are able to see if crimes have taken place in the streets near their homes in the last month.
You'll be able to type in any postcode on a police website...and see what kind of crime happened over the last month.
But do you want to know?
We've done a bit of research in Gloucestershire...this was from December 2010.
