Although the 77th Precinct maintains a map detailing the locations of recent crimes, no such visual rendering is available online. Some folks on Brooklynian’s Prospect Heights message board are trying to change that. They’ve set up a map that allows anyone to report muggings or other violent incidents in the neighborhood, and they’ve also added data from published crime reports. Seems like a great community resource, though you have to wonder how many inaccurate or overblown reports are going to find their way into the mix. Nevertheless, neat stuff.

  1. the park slope/prospect heights border can get a little dicey it seems late at night. On those nice quiet streets filled with brownstones is where it is easy for the muggers to get what they want.

  2. Agreed, 10:25.

    It’s the idiocy of the Clinton campaign staff that made me become an Obama supporter. They have never never never once let anybody forget Obama is black.

    It’s called racism.

    As for what Obama can give us, if he has the alternative is someone who is not going to thrust this country once more into years of partisan nastiness, great. Happens to be EXACTLY what we need. The Clintons on the other hand are showing they can’t run a competitive campaign without being complete assholes. It’s literally impossible for them. Buh-bye.

  3. telling, given the fact that all of these thugs live on lincoln place between underhill and washington…and not a single robbery reported on the block? can’t these asshats mug each other and leave the rest of us alone?

  4. “In the words of the adviser to Hillary Clinton (wife of our “First Black President” according to Toni Morrison): “If you have a social need, you’re with Hillary. If you want Obama to be your imaginary hip black friend and you’re young and you have no social needs, then he’s cool.”

    This is why I am no longer a Clinton supporter, and am sorry I ever was.
