TIL norway has a homocide map with exact locations of murders. ( lemmy.blahaj.zone )

Link to the site

The map contains exact locations of homocides from the 2000s to now.
You can zoom in far enough to see the neighborhood the murder(s) happened in.
I'm sorry that the site is primarily in Norwegian, but you should still be able to zoom around.
Wonder of there's a global map that's that detailed.

This documentary was inspired by the murder of Gunnar Gunnarssonsson:

How do I report murders that aren't showing up on the map? I've tried refreshing a million times and I'm 100% sure the murders are finalized?

Have you tried turning the victim(s) on then off again? If that doesn't fix your issue I suggest you call tech support. Their local hotline is 112, and if you're looking for the international one it's 911. Both lines are toll free.

You can try murdering your neighbor, see if they show up

Trashcan ,

Well.... It's not "Norway has a map of murders", but a newspaper in Norway has made a map of murders in Norway.

With the data I have at hand, people mostly seem to die in them.

So what you're saying is that cities were made by governments in order to control the population, and to some degree reduce overcrowding? /s

Most people die in hospitals. – Avoid hospitals if you value your life. /s

All people that have died were at one point living. Avoid living at all costs.

Easy. Just make it illegal to die in a city and deport old people to the nearest farming region

What the island halfway down the shaft that's way off the mainland?

Lofoten?

Looks more like Torsholmen in the Træna archipelago

Interesting that this map also specifies who was the victim.

It makes it all the more sad, I feel.

AFC1886VCC ,

It really does. Lots of young people on there.

Sparky OP ,

I assume it's to humanize the victims of homicides, rather than portraying them as mere statistics on a spreadsheet.

Kinda sad tho

LittleBorat2 ,

How is this possible don't they have to keep them anonymous?

Successful_Try543 ,

The Nordics are generally less reluctant with personal data compared to e.g. Germany.

untorquer ,

There's also a lot of tracking of who is accessing personal info. Most often you need to provide your own identity to look something up like property or vehicle owners if it's not given freely by the individual on a public site.

Successful_Try543 ,

But there are web sites where you can obtain information that e.g. in Germany would be afaIk not public, see e.g. hitta.se

untorquer ,

Interesting, is that not info people have voluntarily input? It looks like 1881.no which AFAIK is like old school yellow pages where you put your info in and it's combined with publicly available things like the business register.

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

Yes, however a lot of this information would not be publicly available in Germany or only with valid concern, e.g. birthday, car ownership, value of the estate.

UndercoverUlrikHD ,

You don't send in information to gulesider/180/1881, it's automatically added unless you specifically request to have your information removed for whatever reason. They're great sites to dox yourself for those of us that don't use a fake name on the Internet.

Here's the reason for why the data is public (according to them)

This is why VG publishes an overview of all Norwegian murders

All murders have ripple effects. For the immediate family, for the local community and for society at large. VG has mapped all murder cases from 2000 to the present day.

Openness about who, where, how and why people are killed is important in order to be able to conduct a knowledge-based debate about murder as a social problem. It is only when the public knows what is happening that it is possible to implement preventive measures.

In recent years, a number of miscarriages of justice have been uncovered. VG believes that openness about criminal cases and legal processes is an important safety valve for avoiding prejudgment - and strengthening legal certainty for both victims and suspects.

Through its work on the report series "The unsolved deaths", VG revealed in 2023 that the official Norwegian statistics on unsolved murders were missing several murder victims. This underlines the need for an ongoing public overview of all murder cases - regardless of police assessments.

    The UK has something similar but you can search by all types of crime https://crimerate.co.uk/crime-map

    When you're logged out, you can only access data on antisocial people, like logged out of society.

    This is what it looks like for England/Wales

    No statistics for Manchester, though. I haven't looked into why that's a thing.

    Edit:

    A small section of Central London. It only tells you the rate vs the national average. The red in the population box at the top showing that crime here is more than 3x the national average (it doesn't show any higher figures)

    The reason for Norway having one of the longest coastlines is that it has a large number of small islands.

    It's on an island

    Viking_Hippie ,

    Also, I guess it's not that far fetched that 1 person was murdered on a boat some time during the last 24 years 🤷

    Successful_Try543 , (edited )

    I know of at least one case in Sweden or Danmark.

    Edit: It was the murder of Kim Wall and officially it took place in Danmark.
