Welcome to the party NYC.  You are last city of your size in the US to openly release your crime data. The new map announced by the NYPD today can be seen here: http://maps.nyc.gov/crime/ Unlike most large cities in the US, it looks like the NYPD has elected not to reveal the raw crime data, but has decided to represent the data in a very clean, and absurdly difficult to navigate map. For some, not clearly, explained reason, crime dates are not provided. You are able to get a map of crimes in a particular month. But the exact date and time are hidden. Crime is mapped to the intersection on approximate block level. This implementation is consistent with most police agencies. The NYPD gets high marks for not using a vendor to regulate access to the data and prevent the public or the press from publishing or sharing the information. Some cities in the US have taken down their public unrestricted feeds and replaced them with vendors that limit access and curtail tabulation...
