Money Supermarket .com have recently launched a useful application aimed at university students to help them quickly check the chances of burglary in the vicinity of their university campus. I suspect the data used has come from the Police.uk website, but I like the way they have presented it. All you have to do is select the university campus from the list and optionally add your postcode. You’ll be presented with a map, shaded according to burglary risk, and a risk factor for your selected postcode.
I would be surprised if the burglary risk factor would affect a student’s choice of university, but it is useful to know about their risks so that they are well prepared.
