Why the Hell not? Crime in an area is one of the most important things to consider in deciding where to buy a home, the largest investment most people will ever make. (And yes, uncomfortably, but truthfully, crime is correlated to racial makeup in the area, as proven by decades of the FBI's crime stats. Reporting on this data should not be illegal either(data wants to be free, remember?), but it has been since the late 1960s, when the Federal Government forced the Appraisal Institute to rewrite their Appraisal Handbook with the decree by fiat that racial makeup of a neighborhood cannot affect the value of a property. No data-based justification for this was ever provided, because there is none.) Reporting crime and other similar neighborhood information on such sites is something buyers should expect and demand.
