Berlingske Tidende is a Danish newspaper that has produced a good example of an interactive crime map. Readers of the newspaper are able to tag crimes on the map and detail how well the police respond to the crime. Since launching in May over seventy crimes have been added to the map.
The newspaper uses the map not only to map crimes in Denmark but as a source of news stories for the newspaper and two full-time reporters are assigned to the project. Although the paper stress that they are only reporting what their readers tell them they also say that "our journalists read through all the reports to check their credibility."
