OK, maybe you will, but crime maps are a popular thing with our cousins over in the USA. They have much more relaxed data protection laws, that some people can argue for days about whether is a good or a bad thing. Whatever the answer, it means they can produce some quite interesting stuff on crime. Ignoring the many, many maps of registered sex offenders in the US, here are some maps that you might be interested in.
I hope you enjoy looking at these sites! Please let me know if you know of any more. For more cool Google Maps, check out the superb Google Maps Mania.

I’m having a few problems with my email, so if you’ve sent me one on or after Tuesday 23rd May please send it me again to the address on the right. Particularly one email from Marion(???) entitled something like “2 years ago” has magically disappeared out of my Inbox along with several others. Please get back in touch, sorry!

A great story from John:
I found a bag ditched in Arlington Road, Camden, last month. I’m assuming it was pinched off Camden High Street, as Arlington Rd is parallel to it.
It was a black woman’s handbag with a Swedish passport (tourist?) and house keys – no money, of course.
I called the police but they couldn’t spare anyone to collect it, and asked if I would drop it off at the nearest station, when I got a chance. I said Sure, they said Thanks – most people aren’t that understanding.
Went to Kentish Town Police Station in the morning before work – in the other direction to work – and dropped it off. Got a nice big thanks from the girls at the station.
See, not everyone’s a thief

This site reports on the widespread problem of hand bag thefts across London and the rest of the UK. This is an “unreported” crime as it is not possible to get these statistics broken down by theft type from the Government.
Any reports received are then mapped here to provide an overview of where the crime is occuring and how frequently. You can currently report a crime using the form on the map page.
