Daily Crime Data from 50+ Large American Cities
May 2024
The Live Crime Tracker is a website that offers in-depth information on crime, violence, and victimization in more than 50 cities across the United States.
Official national crime statistics are reported many months after the fact, making it difficult to recognize and respond to emergent trends.
To address this issue, NORC’s Center on Public Safety & Justice developed the Live Crime Tracker. The website tracks crime trends in real time, giving law enforcement agencies, public officials, and community organizations time to respond more effectively.
The tracker provides real-time data on crime, violence, and victimization in more than 50 U.S. cities. Users can explore data for eight crime categories, including homicide, burglary, and aggravated assault; city crime profiles and interactive maps for easy analysis and comparison; and a daily crime tracker to monitor trends over time.
This visualization was created by NORC’s VizStudio, a creative community of experts who turn complex data into compelling visual stories.
