For interested persons, we took the 2009 Aggregate Reports and 2010 Aggregate Reports previously compiled by David Packman and exported them to a single Fusion table, which we then linked up with a Google Map to visually display the incidents in those reports. To increase the usefulness of the map, we integrated the ability to focus the map on a specific locations, and also to filter the displayed results by words in the incident descriptions (so for example, searching “rape” will display those incidents with “rape” in the description). Thanks to Cato intern Will Hayworth for his efforts on this.
We will be working on other improvements to the site in coming weeks.
