Local crime stats mash-ups

Stumbled across this, mindyourstreet.com – which produces crime mash-ups. This is the state of Preston, Lancashire where I live (the area I’ve just moved to has a -444 difference from 2004 to 2007, whoop!).

But this is an excellent development and use of data. Be interesting to see if the local media pick-up on this and use it to provide background for crime stories. If I was a crime correspondent I’d be lapping it up – especially as it’s a Google map so can be easily embedded anywhere.
