AIDS Research. VisuCite. Oakland Crimespotting. Notice anything different? We’ve been working on the interface design, read more about it on the blog. Oakland Crimespotting is an interactive map of crimes in Oakland and a tool for understanding crime in cities.
If you hear sirens in your neighborhood, you should know why. Crimespotting makes this possible with interactive maps, e-mail updates, and RSS feeds of crimes in areas that you care about. We’ve found ourselves frustrated by the proprietary systems and long disclaimers that ultimately limit information available to the public. Instead of simply knowing where a crime took place, we would like to investigate questions like: Is there more crime this week than last week? If the local papers didn’t report a rash of car break-ins in your neighborhood, how would you know? We believe that civic data should be exposed to the public in a more open way. This project is a work in progress; a way of discovering what kinds of questions we can ask.
