What do the dots represent?

Each dot marks the approximate location of one or more alleged offences of a particular type reported to West Yorkshire Police. The display is intended to provide an indication of where these alleged crimes occurred. Because of the complexities of the processes used to generate the images, and because each dot spans at least 100 metres, the pattern should be interpreted as being indicative only (also see answer to Why do the dots sometimes not match the numbers in the tables?).
