Method and sources
One small radar per district, over the seven crime types our district reports use: the crimes the South African Police Service recorded at that district's stations in the latest four published quarters, the same 12 months the reports show. Every radar is scaled to its own largest type, so a small district and a large one can be compared on what their crime consists of rather than on how much of it there is. The list below the chart gives each district's total across the seven types, which is what the sizes would have compared. Districts without a complete 12 months of authoritative police figures are left out and named below. Drug offences are not included.
SAPS station counts for the 12 months 2025-07-01 to 2026-06-30, as published in our district reports. Left out: N2 Airport Route, Peninsula Hiking Trails (no police station figures of their own).
