[MR] More on the London Murder Map

[Garth Groff and Sally Sanford]

Noble Friends,

The London Murder Map is now available online, and is really cool. Each
crime scene is marked by a typical internet pin. Moving your cursor over
the pin gives a brief summary of what happened. If you click on the
summary, a full text culled from the coroner's records appears, giving full
details of the incident. Really fascinating stuff:

There are all sorts of filters, with which you can limit the map to gender,
type of weapon, etc.

Today the History Blog also comments on the map in somewhat more detail
than the BBC article previously cited:
