Criminal Searches
www.criminalsearches.com
Criminal Searches provides the scary-but-useful data on how many criminals live in
your neighborhood, what crimes they were convicted of, and, in some cases, their names
and personal info. It's all culled from public records, and is presented as a Google Maps
mashup. You can restrict your search to sex offenders, search on a specific name to get
a criminal history, or do a general search for criminals by city or ZIP code. This kind
of data is certainly not for the faint of heart but can be useful in assessing the safety
of your neighborhood.
