Earlier this week, SpotCrime began collecting crime data for Charlottesville, Virginia. Below is a map and table of some of the crimes collected excluding shootings. Shootings are listed on a earlier post. Each icon below represents a different crime. The fist icon represents an assault. the running man represents a robbery, and the blue man represents theft. The icons were selected for contrast to each other and visibility on the map.
By clicking on the crime icon and viewing details, the user is able to identify the source for each crime mapped. Addtionally, the user can click on the crimes in the table below and get a partial narrative of each crime.
For October, we have mapped four assaults and four thefts, and for September, we have mapped one robbery.
We expect to add much more data in the upcoming month.
