Crime Maps for the Past Sixty Days....
Here's a map of recent crimes near my house in North Park - & then here is the same data for my old neighbourhood.
The trick is that my old neighbourhood encompasses gigantic tracts of land for which these statistics don't apply: three huge schools, multiple canyons etc. I also wonder how often the incidents aren't reported as well; I know for a fact that my old neighbourhood is dangerous because I was attacked there twice and I heard gunfire and saw SWAT teams almost every night. In comparison, my current neighbourhood is safe to walk in at night - although being female is always a danger at night.
Interesting maps, anyway. The scary one is the Megan's Law map. I'm not looking it up right now though. It's dark outside and that map is fucking scary.
