For example, one website allows individuals to enter different neighborhoods to locate such problem areas. As such, individuals can now subscribe to receive e-mail notifications about such statistics.

For, there are now a number of websites which are totally devoted to mapping crime in many different areas. As such, one may want to plan ahead and study such maps before arriving to the vicinity, especially when traveling to larger cities in which such crimes are present.
