In order to properly 'calibrate' this tool, i think people should check on their current location first, to see how much crime occurred right there, without them possibly even knowing! Crime occurs everywhere (unfortunately), and we need to keep this in mind. I hope you understand what I am trying to convey. .-= Sergio´s last blog ..<a href="http://phonenumberlookupspy.com/phone-number-look-up" rel="nofollow">Phone Number Look Up</a> =-.

That said, I'd be interested in hearing how you get your crime data. Could you share with us?
