The police in the UK actually have a map of all crimes that have taken place recently in a neighbourhood [1], I think this is a better way of going about the issue, crime rates seem to correlate more closely to safety than how a place looks, I think.

- icommenttoo 12y agoI think you fail to understand the point. The point is not too replace a map of crime, but to help develop variables that can help explain the location of crime. Look at what they did in their 2013 paper (http://pulse.media.mit.edu/papers/ http://pulse.media.mit.edu/papers/) that is exactly that. The problem they are trying to solve is that there are no good measures of perception to evaluate whether the environment affects crime or not. This is an old question for which there has been much research, as it is explained in the point 7 of their FAQ. http://streetscore.media.mit.edu/faq.html http://streetscore.media.mit.edu/faq.html
