Crime Report Data Map - Useful resource

Here's a  new crime mapping resource that came across my @tutormentorteam feed on Twitter today.
Use with other interactive maps to build a case for support of youth and families in different neighborhoods where map indicators show a high need for extra help.

 Note that you can create a map-view focused on your own city, or zip code, then share this with a tweet. When you do that your map image will be shared inviting others from your area to use the information.

    Here's a Nov. 16, 2016 Washington Post article with crime rates by county shown on a map. The article includes a discussion showing how the map view is distorted by the size of different counties (e.g. one incident in a small population county would have a "higher rate" than one incident in a high population county. See the story map at https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/crime-rates-by-county/
