CRIME maps showing where and how often offences are committed could be seen on the internet from next month.
The Met is currently testing electronic crime mapping software and plans to launch the system in September, after a technical review.
Interactive maps will sit alongside monthly crime statistics published on the Met police website and will provide details of the number, rate and geographical location of defined crime types on a ward, borough and pan-London basis.
A test map can be viewed online at maps.met.police.uk.
By clicking on a borough, you can see the figures for burglary, robbery and vehicle crime and comparison figures from previous years.
According to the map the crime rate in the Bromley, Lewisham and Greenwich boroughs is average for London.
And Bexley is below average.
Crime maps have been used in the US - notably in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles - where police departments show incidents at a house-to-house level.
News Shopper went to Burnt Ash Hill in Lee - the scene of the murder of teenager Jimmy Mizen on May 10 - to find out what people think about crime maps.
Watch the video to hear their views.

Cassie and Sisyphus, the most boring people on the planet. They should move from Bromley to Borehamwood, where they could both Google stats forever.

How about applying the same principles to the judiciary? Why not have a website that members of the public can log into which lists all of our magistrates and all of our judges. Upon clicking on their name, it would reveal a list by type (ie. burglary, robbery, assault) of the cases that they had been responsible for when someone had been convicted - and the sentence that was handed down. That way we could immediately see where the weak links in the criminal justice system are. We\'d know exactly who is releasing the criminals back into our community to commit further offences............ ....and exactly who was responsible for the Fear of Crime\' in a particular area. This would have the fantastic added benefit of holding a number of politicians to account, if our experience here in Bromley is anything to go by. You\'d be amazed at the number of magistrates that are local councillors - he who speaks with a forked tongue, etc, etc! What a fantastic idea, if I may say so myself!

That way we could immediately see where the weak links in the criminal justice system are not defending (as it were) magistrates/judges but the sentencing guidelines council and panel also have a lot to answer for

- deep-seated feelings of insecurity and/or inadequacyCouldn't have summed you up better myself, cassie.
- low self-esteem and jealousy
- inability to accept or address personal shortcomings
- feelings of utter helplessness / lack of control
- very low iq
- abnormal mental / emotional development eg constant siege mentality, lacking empathy

Unfortunately, poor cassie has suffered a deluge of unwarranted abuse for her troubles. I have then commented on this - only to receive a rather bizzare attempt at a rebuke from yourself! Behave yourself, silly boy, we don't act like that in a civilised society. Try and act like an adult!
