Notes

The ONS's Crime Severity Score weights each offence the police record by how the courts sentence it, from sentencing data for England and Wales, and divides the weighted offences by the area's mid-year population: a higher score means more harm for the population, not more offences. It leaves out fraud, for which there is no complete series below England and Wales. The years run from April to March.
The tool's community safety partnerships do not exactly match those in the ONS's police force area data tables, as it needs a consistent series of recorded crime and population estimates. It gives the partnerships of Cumberland, Westmorland and Furness, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Dorset, East Suffolk and Buckinghamshire under their councils' codes, beside the partnerships some of them replaced; the hub keeps each under the code the tool gives it, and says why where the tool gives no score.
Offences with no known partnership count in their force's score but in no partnership's. The ONS does not show the City of London separately, as its resident population is small beside the people who work in or visit it.
The chart draws the 25 partnerships with the highest scores in the latest year; the table holds every partnership. The headline is England and Wales's score, from the same tool's sheet of force areas.
