Example – Advanced Reporter More complex tables, charts and maps can be produced using the Advanced Reporter Following our example, we might want to look at Intermediate Geography by Local Authority (as this provides more detailed crime data) We can then choose the data we want to include in our tables, for example crime data and health data These data can then be downloaded and added to other datasets, for example, a local population survey including questions on crime and substance use issues. We can also produce simple maps that contrast the concentration of crime rates (e.g. drug offences) with other data (e.g. hospital admissions for drug misuse)
