UK Crime Maps Not Sitting Well
The UK is rolling out crime maps, called MyNeighbourhood.info, for all of England and Wales by the end of the year according to the Times Online (Times of London). Midlands is being used as a pilot city but this kind of information is not exactly sitting well with everyone. Some, like the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors are fearing it will reduce home values. While countries like the US have had crime maps and mashups (remember ChicagoCrime.org; now EveryBlock Chicago) its seems not everyone wants to know about what’s going on around them.
