Crime stats: Is it safe in your neck of the woods?

The overall crime rate in Broward and Palm Beach counties rose in 2007 from 2006. It was the first rise in Palm Beach County since 2002 and the second time in three years that Broward County saw an increase. Fortunately, violent crime fell by 4.5% in Broward and 1.6% in Palm Beach County.

Does SpotCrime grab the information from news Web sites? I went to one of them and the Sun-Sentinel was the source of the report.
Looks like there is some cool programming involved but you really need to hire an artist. The information is hard to read.
