Is Your New Neighborhood Safe? These Web Sites Help 2
SpotCrime.com
An integrated crime statistic and mapping site, SpotCrime.com asks users for an address and then delivers the exact locations of crimes reported within a designated radius, and between designated dates. While the Web site's aesthetics are utilitarian at best, its functionality is strong. Giving different graphics to different sorts of offenses (cartoonish fists represent assault, and burglars robbery), SpotCrime's mapping layout is among the best we've seen. And, while the site's records do not seem to be complete (we could think of several high-profile shootings in one town that are not listed), the statistics that are listed do seem to give a solid overview of a specific neighborhood's safety.

If AOL continues to send useless , non-working info out, I will start looking for another internet provider.
Check your information and make sure the facts and actions are correct!!!!!
DebJan 19th 2009 7:33PM
It seems just about 50% of the links do not work on AOL. Its a shame, it used to be so good.

This is SpotCrime here. Yes, our site is overloaded. We are working on the issue and should be up in a couple of hours. Thanks.
LLIFFRJan 19th 2009 5:59PM
The site doen't tell you where convicted criminals live, it tells you where crimes occurred, so you can check neighborhood's safety.
