More Crime Maps for the UK-This time for London
Undeterred by some of the feedback from the MyNeighbourhood application for West Midlands, London has launched a 
Google-maps based crime map (see graphic at right). According to the Public Servant Daily, the application, developed by the Metropolitan Police, uses data provided by the Home Office. I think the one interesting item about this application is the emphasis on noting the increase or decrease of a particular crime. I wonder if that was done to allay some of the fears of reporting crimes in the first place as per the comments about West Midlands.
