Met launch online crime map

Published on 20^th August 2008 in Websites.

The Metropolitan Police have launched a website which uses Google Maps to display London crime figures. It provides a clear visual representation of complex data and also adjusts depending on how far you’ve zoomed in. It’s a great example of using a clean and simple interface to make otherwise dull information accessible. The related information in the bottom right corner is an inspired touch too, inviting people to learn more about crime in their area and what they can do about it.
