Online tool shows violent crime statistics

Screenshot of New Website Sean Kennedy, president of Virginians for Safe Communities (VSC), has created a virtual tool to help Virginia residents easily view the outcomes of violent crime cases.Sourced from VirginiaCourtData.org, whose owner previously requested the raw court data from the state court system, the tool in beta version displayed the outcomes of court cases regarding violent crimes such as murder, manslaughter, robbery and others.“I think it’s a useful tool for policymakers, for law enforcement, for court watchers, for the media, for the general public, even to see what’s actually going on in Virginia courts,” said Kennedy.
