You’d describe both objects the same, but depending on where you live in the country, you will call the same object by a different name. Soda vs Pop; Gumband vs Rubberband; Dad vs Pop; Clicker vs Remote vs TV Changer; Ya’ll vs Yins vs Yous; Pocketbook vs Purse vs Handbag; Monkeyball vs Gumball;  feels like the list is never ending! This can also be applied to words when describing crimes on a crime map . In categorizing thefts and burglaries, this word conundrum also happens. For example, cars.  When someone steals something from a car - is it a theft or burglary? For SpotCrime , we usually rely on the agency to classify these. Most Universities classify them as burglaries and many police agencies use theft.   Shootings , however, are a different story for us. Most often a shooting is lumped into a category of aggravated assault. We break out shooting when we can - because our maps are designed for a

Imagine going to sleep late at night and waking up the next morning to find that many of your possessions are missing and that your home has been broken into. It's not quite an epidemic that's plaguing every University in the United States but in some areas it is a frightening reality. Burglars mainly target student living in off campus housing due to the almost guaranteed selection of electronics they often own. The burglars end up stealing anything valuable they can get their hands on including laptops, televisions, iPods, video game systems and other electronics of value. So far this year incidents have been recorded in San Marcos, Texas, South Bend, Indiana, Seattle, Washington, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania among many others. Police in these areas have offered advice to students who feel that they are targets for burglary: Set up security systems to discourage forced entries. Keep windows and curtains shut. Lock all windows and doors. Know your neighbors. Report suspici
