What this data can't tell you
- Exactly where in the precinct crimes happened. SAPS reports crime per police precinct, not per suburb. These figures cover the whole Marquard precinct area, and every suburb in it shares them. Other suburbs: Marquard.
- Crime that was never reported. SAPS counts crimes reported to the police. Not all crime is reported, so actual incidence is higher. Reporting rates also vary by area and crime type, so there is no reliable way to correct for it. How we handle this →
- How crime compares per resident. These are raw counts with no population adjustment. Precincts serving more people naturally record more crimes. The trend over time, which compares this precinct against its own history, is the more reliable signal.
