Real-Time Crime Index Available Online

AH Datalytics has launched a “Real-Time” crime index, (RTCI), online. The index is available here. AH Datalytics launched the real-time crime index in an effort to “aid in the need for a faster understanding and visualization of national, state, and local crime trends.” AH Datalytics acknowledges certain crime data is underreported to police and agencies can fail to provide complete or accurate information. However, RTCI aims to collect all available data and report it in real time, with monthly updates, while allowing users of the RTCI to access data, local, state, or national, which is updated in real time. Using the RTCI, users can view data by month or yearly periods reported by law enforcement agencies.
