Homicide map much improved

By Kevin Roderick | August 9, 2007 10:28 PM

The Times has added a whole bunch of filters and details to the new interactive map that goes with Jill Leovy's homicide blog. If you want to just see the black men over 50 who died by stabbing, you can. I haven't fully tested it, but it looks pretty responsive. Leovy previously linked to a map maintained by USC professor Michael Quick.
