Divisive Issues

By David Topping

For those into crime maps, however limited they might be, the Star has posted a whole bunch to their excellent Map of the Week blog. Each of the maps breaks down a different set of data—”sexual assault, assault, robbery, breaking and entering, auto theft, and theft over $5,000″—by Toronto Police division, using the cops’ own stats from the beginning of this year until August 28. Turns out your car’s statistically far safer downtown than in the northeast corner of the city. Your home, not so much.
