>Dear FreeGIS Community -
>
>I am looking for a simple, web-based GIS system that I can use to map crime
>statistics by location, date, time of day, and type of crime. I am new to
>GIS applications, and am somewhat overwhelmed by the options. Can anyone
>give me advice on which systems to pursue or groups I should contact?
>
>I live in a neighborhood in Washington, DC that has seen a recent increase
>in crime. Many of the citizens - myself included - are actively working with
>the police and on our own to make our neighborhood safer. All of the crime
>GIS data that we want exists, but the DC government has failed to make it
>available in a useful manner. We can get paper reports, but not access to
>their GIS application (which they said they would make public, but never
>have). As many of you have heard, we have a barely functioning city
>government, so we are looking to ourselves for answers.
>
>The most important thing we need to be able to do is identify "hot spots" of
>criminal activity and days or times of day when crime is more likely to
>occur. With this information we can better coordinate civilian patrols and
>present hard data to the police (who, in the absence of data, frequently
>tell us to leave them alone and let them do their job).
>
>Any resources you could point me to for a GIS system I can use to plot and
>analyze crime data would be greatly appreciated and help make our
>neighborhood safer.
>
>Respectfully,
>
>- Knox McIlwain

>PS - Please forgive me if my questions are newbie or off topic - if so, I
>will look elsewhere for advice.
