CrimeAround.us was a website that uncritically displayed crime report data published by the City of Chicago. When Black communities are over-policed, the policing itself produces a high volume of crime reports. These communities are then characterized as high-crime, justifying even more policing.
DataMade regrets that we built this project, and we are beginning to work through how to repair harms that our work has caused.
