Zooming in on Firearm crime locations in London

Recorded Crime in London in 2009 involving firearms showing recorded Ward location

Legend - Number of crimes
Following on from the previous post I am showing the same data as the second at council ward and grid level. What I forgot to mention is my classification of quantities uses equal intervals with 0 excluded for all the maps; I have also tried to use the same clours so that they can be compared.

The interesting aspect of these maps to me is the borough of Haringey (top centre of zoom grid map). The borough map published yesterday showed that Haringey is not in the top four boroughs ranked by number of crimes but it has a ward that is ranked number 2 and a grid squre that is ranked number 2 which is not located within the second ranked ward!
