Crime Map Beta - Trulia - 9 views

  •  
    What is the value of this? all sept 29 Jang
  •  
    The crime map is a site that shows the amount of crimes committed in an area. The map gives specific information about what kind crime was committed, the location and time of the crime. The site also gives data of places that crimes do not happen frequently. This crime map website can be really useful for avoiding crime scenes and being aware of crimes that are happening in your neighborhood. If you want to move to a new place you can look at the crime map to see if your new neighborhood is safe and crime free. This site is still on beta and only have information on few states in America. I think a lot of people would use this site if it have data for all the countries in the world. However keeping up with new information everyday would be very hard because there are so many crimes happening all over the world and the site would need to be updated every few minutes.
