UK crime impacts businesses on a level which is has been hard to measure, until now.  With the Police crime data now open we can examine the correlation between high crime areas and badly performing companies. Crime is an unfortunate part of society that affects the business world just as it affects the lives of citizens.

Recently, government officials have opened up new datasets that allow us access to reports of crime and criminal activity and can understand growing concerns in certain areas. We can use this to evaluate the health of a company and make predictions for their future successes or failures.

Companies can use these datasets and predictions to set up actionable plans that will help them to avoid falling to these risks in the future. By knowing which companies and industries are regularly affected by particular crimes such as fraudulent activities, companies can take safety measures to ensure that they don’t fall victim to the same traps.

UK crime impacts businesses in many ways other than actually being victims of crime. When crime affects an area, the businesses and employees who work there can often suffer from mental stress and anxiety. This can eat away at a companies ability to employee people and is often one of the factors that causes the decline of businesses.

There’s now insight at hand to determine which preventative actions can be taken to offset the chance of criminal activities occurring. The clear advice on certain types of crime can aid your business and show employees your resilience.
