ukpolice: Download Data on UK Police and Crime

Description

Downloads data from the 'UK Police' public data API. Includes data on UK police forces and police force areas, crime reports, and the use of stop-and-search powers.

Details

Most functions return a tibble with the requested data, with the exception of ukc_specific_outcome() in some cases, which returns a list containing a list and a tibble.

Data accessed through ukpolice is licenced with Open Government Licence v3.0.

The API allows for 15 requests each second, but up to 30 in a single second if in a single burst. The API does not require authentication. See the API documentation for more details.
