A new police service mapping crime levels throughout England and Wales has been been launched online.

People will be able to see how many burglaries have taken place in their neighbourhood or how many cars have been damaged or stolen.

I just looked at my address and theirs a big ASBO sign above my house, So i don't like this service as I don't have a asbo (yet).. Before I noticed this asbo sign above my house, I was thinking this was fantastic.

Thats great, I just noticed that it highlights the Police'ing "team" that covers the area. It also gives a direct email address to them, I do like this. Not sure when I could use it though, but I will find out a way.

depends how geeky you are I guess.

"being chased up the road, pull out the blackberry and start mailing the cops"
