How safe is your neighborhood?

Is Your Neighborhood Safe?


An integrated crime statistic and mapping site, SpotCrime.com asks you for an address and then delivers the exact locations of crimes reported within a designated radius and between designated dates. 

Giving different graphics to different sorts of offenses (cartoon fists represent assault, and burglars robbery), SpotCrime's mapping layout is revealing.  The statistics that are listed do seem to give a solid overview of a specific neighborhood's safety.

Try it. Please let me know what you think.
