Crime maps for American and Canadian university areas: UCrime.com

Resourceshelf reports on UCrime.com, which publishes crime maps for areas around universities in America and Canada.

For example, if I click on the list of the University of Alaska's Anchorage campus, I can see a trespassing report on the grounds, including street and date reported.

Two clicks take me to the webpage of the university's Police Department, which seems to enjoy using pdf's to display information.

It is difficult to find the information, but this is due to the University of Alaska, not Ucrime.com.

Crimes are broken down by type, with the option to just see one type of crime. In Jacksonville University's Kinne University Centre, as an example, there was an alleged aggravated assault on November 7th.

The site also allows university students to report crime, and for anyone to give feedback. A blog gives updates on crime maps and university crime events.
