maps

As part of a project I'm working on for the Hackney Citizen, I'm creating a comprehensive map of a lot of different stuff going on in Hackney. One thing that would be particularly useful would be ward boundaries, ultimately comprising the area of the whole borough.

Much to my surprise, I could not find a single omnibus Hackney ward shapefile anywhere online. Thus I've created one, attached to this blog post.

Where are the most trafficking arrests in London? Where are the most possession arrests? While Tower Hamlets has the most charges for possession in a period from October 2010 to September 2011, Brent has the most charges for trafficking. Data taken from the MET's crime mapping data tables.
