Got this email in response to the post on the Baltimore homicide maps:

If you want to know more about Homicides in Baltimore I recommend reading Homicide: A Year in the Killing Streets by David Simon. He spent a year in the homicide division of Baltimore P.D. He also produced a show about the things he learned called The Wire, which was shown on HBO.

I haven’t read the book, though I’ve heard good things about The Wire.

The sender maintains a map of homicides in Houston.
