This map makes me think of the New Inquiry's White Collar Crime map [1]. That project creates a strong image which for me disrupts the stereotype of what crime looks like and where we can find it. I realize it has a very different aim than safemap, but I frequently use it as an example of how the selection of data sources and its visualization is crucial in communicating a particular story. This communication already starts with the name: calling a map of reported crime a 'safemap' implicitly suggests that red colored places are 'unsafe' and should be avoided. (The about popover literally states: "Learn which parts of San Francisco are safest and which parts are best to avoid.") Which, as the discussion here suggests might be more complicated than that.
