Crawley and Medway compared
Every measure Civometry publishes for both areas, side by side. Each figure is its publisher’s own for the period named beside it, and the difference between the two is stated in the middle. Neither area is called better: which direction counts as better depends on what you are asking, and the page does not decide that for you. Where the two figures are not comparable — a different period, or nothing published for one side — the row says so instead of showing a difference.

The gaps, drawn
Each measure above that has a figure for both areas over the same period, as two dots on that measure’s own scale. The line is the distance between them; nothing here decides which end is better.
CrawleyMedwayEach row has its own scale; the line is the gap between the two figures.
Over time
The headline series both areas publish, each over its full published span. Crawley is the solid line and Medway the grey one; each series is its publisher’s own, and a series that starts later starts later — no gap is filled in.

Police-recorded crime counts offences reported to and recorded by the police. It is affected by whether people report crime and by changes in police recording practice, so it does not measure all crime that happens. The Crime Survey for England and Wales is the better guide to long-term trends in the crimes it covers. Police recorded crime is not designated as National Statistics.
What this comparison rests on
Two figures are only subtracted when they are the same measure over the same period. Populations differ (124,462 and 292,697 residents on the latest estimates used here), so counts are shown alongside rates rather than instead of them. Nothing on this page is weighted, indexed or scored: every difference is one published number minus another, and the rows that cannot be compared say why.
