Visualizing Crime Stats in Chicago

Geeky Chic 2.0 sent me this set of Google Map-powered visualizations of reported Chicago crime statistics (from a citizen database). I think if I was familiar with Chicago it would hypnotically interesting to note things like the clustering of Attempted Robbery with a knife or cutting instrument. If I was buying a house or setting up a business in Chicago I would definitely take this for a spin.
