MADE (Multi-Agency Data Exchange) is a data warehouse tool for datasets that are relevant to crime and disorder in Lancashire. The MADE project was established in 2001 to help people living in Lancashire to make better-informed decisions about community safety issues in their neighbourhood and “to create a common collation and dissemination facility which will improve the speed and reliability of multi-agency information exchange for crime and disorder strategies and other multi-agency policies throughout Lancashire”.

As a contribution to this, we have conducted a descriptive analysis of the spatio-temporal distribution of crime in Lancashire. This work has been funded by the ESRC under their National Centre for Research Methods initiative, operating within the Lancaster-Warwick-Stirling Node.

The Safer Lancashire homepage gives more information on the MADE project.
