Of course we all know that here has among the most underreported crime of anywhere. You really think officer sawgrass living in his stucco shanty with his ugly wife and lamentable life cares if someone stole your camera or bike?

If your data doesn't make sense, maybe you need to look at your methods again. Your map obviously doesn't pass the sniff test.

Here's another one for you.

^^Yeah, I had the same reaction seeing that first map. Could not be accurate--and it isn't.

That said, all of us should be pleased that violent crime stats (for the most part) have decreased substantially in Miami and virtually every other big American city over the past 25 years or so.

The odd thing to me is how so many in the general public seem almost hostile to hearing this, as if they cannot possibly fathom that the "good old days" were, in fact, NOT safer at all. I hear it all the time in both Miami and Philly and when you point out the actual stats to those folks---that both cities are substantially safer now than they were 30-40 years ago---it is generally met with skepticism or outright disbelief. Yet it's true. And the same is true across the country with very few exceptions.

I think some people just like to think of themselves as victims...as 'enduring' something that may or may not actually exist, much the same way so many described themselves as 'surviving' Hurricane Andrew years ago despite not living anywhere close to where the true devastation occurred.

OK, stepping off my social analysis soapbox now. :cheers:

You changed the dates. But the fact is for those dates the map is not glitching, there happened to be no reported crimes. Going back to the url with the default dates which now includes yesterday, there are a few crimes downtown but still not many. So blah

I would be more concerned with how many tabs you have open at one time on your Chrome browser. Your CPU fan must have a pound of dust on it... at least close one of the two Gmail tabs.

LOL...the danger of posting ALT/PRTSCRN images on the web...

You're probably selecting the Miami-Dade police department. Select City of Miami instead.

That web site is a crock, I've used it in some small towns I was staying in up the coast, the natives there tell me that it doesn't report crimes correctly. For instance, you might see a "Robbery alert" where a kid stole a pack of gum, or "Armed carjacking" when an elderly man got into the wrong Grand Marquis...

Yes things are definitely safer these days, the "tourist safety exits" of the years past, I remember everybody telling me, "watch out which exit you get off on"... It seems that our nation has taken a big step forward towards less violent robberies at least, also, there's way too many smartphone cameras, videos, technology tracking everyone, and all the "gangsters" of the days of old are much easier to be spotted by police.

Bottom line, the government knows everything you're doing all the time, it's only certain people falling through the cracks on the news these days, most of them probably don't use technology, (the ones they're searching for, or can't find with warrants, etc)...

I remember looming up actual stats and for dade coubty i could dind a five year report and basically crime dropped a lot adter 2009 every year since then its been about level. Thats for the county and probably only include crimes in unincorporated areas.

Its good to see the world becomong a better place but honestly the reason i was lpoking rhe stuff up on the first place was because i swear the general atmosphere is feeling a little worse than it was a coupke years ago.

Actually in the map you are only showing areas that are handled by MDPD not the City of Miami (or Coral Gables, South Miami, Miami Beach...etc). MDPD handles some County owned places in the City like metrorail stations, county buildings in the health district..etc. All those crimes to the north are out of City of Miami's city limits.

You're exactly right. I forgot how you have to push the blue police badge button to select each dept. It seems like linking from the COM website and the fact that miami is in the url it would have already done this. It seems arbitrary that they select the county. This thread is bogus and should be deleted. Sorry.
