Crime of Denmark on Google Maps

Danish Crime Map

Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet has created a Google Map to show the locations of crime in Copenhagen and Vestegnens and Central and West Zealand. The map is based on information from daily police reports. The paper is planning to add more towns and regions to the map in the future.

It is possible to view crime for a particular week using the drop-down menu. It is also possible to filter the map for types of crime. Because the site is mapping crime from the police's daily reports each information window contains comprehensive coverage of the criminal incident.
