Take a look at the interactive crime map, located at

www.spotcrime.com

You can select 8 different icons representing 8 different crimes, and map their occurrences over a time period of your choice. But Y'town shows no data! The map worked fine for Pittsburgh and Columbus. I just contacted the site and they said

"We are not getting good data for Youngstown.  If you know anyone at the police department, let them know we do not charge."

I just recently discovered this site. It appears as though citizens can also report crime (which I would hope they would confirm before showing on the map). Could be a good deterant, but someone from the city needs to contact them and get this data problem fixed.
