Crime: The Big Picture

Here's a nice visualization of crime in 2009 in San Francisco from Doug McCune:


Go to the site to see more. I like this visualization because it shows certain kinds of crime (prostitution, narcotics, and robbery) are highly localized. Others (vehicle theft, vandalism, and larceny) are generalized over the whole region. The message: if you know your town, you know which areas to avoid for certain types of crime.
