Usually, here at the Neighborhood Crime Map, we’re talking about ways to provide citizens with easy access to crime prevention resources and crime data; however, in New Orleans, an initiative funded by the Afterschool Partnership has the goal to create maps that will keep kids out of trouble during the long hot summer months when they are out of school.
The maps will focus on providing information to kids and parents on the location of parks, community centers, and other places in the city that will keeps kids busy and out of trouble. Their hope is that this resource will provide youth with productive alternatives to just hanging out and will hopefully reduce crime for the summer months.
