I'm just a lowly homebuyer, but here is what I used to map out every possible crime. We use it in Criminology. I used this link to help me decide the safest area I could afford for my family. You will be suprised by your preceptions and realty.

I gave you the link to the map. It may kick you to the disclaimer first. All the disclaimer says, is don't use this if you are having an emergency. You don't have to sign up for anything.

Safety is an important consideration and often overlooked. Crime is one factor, but there are others. My blog 'Safety in the time of Fires', below, discusses a number of worthwhile safety topics and includes links to valuable information.
