TIL norway has a homocide map with exact locations of murders.

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.

People live in cities.
Good old /peopleliveincities content.
All I see is
Did you mean Homicide map, or is it indeed called a Homocide map?
Well, there's one terror attack that happened on the island of utøya, apparently 69 people were killed
Wow, Sweden is so much safer! \s
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?
Well.... It's not "Norway has a map of murders", but a newspaper in Norway has made a map of murders in Norway.
Wow, look how safe Sweden is! Not a single red dot!
Hmm, that's weird, they missed one.

What?
Note to self, don't visit Olso, visit Stockholm. /s
The closer you are to Denmark the more murderous you become...
Homicide* ... unless you actually mean homocide.
Interesting that this map also specifies who was the victim.
And for the other side of the border våldskartan.se or map of shootings.
This documentary was inspired by the murder of Gunnar Gunnarssonsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-OOpZitfd0
Looks like there is a little bit of space for a new "northernmost" murder left; southernmost is already a done deal.
Damn... seeing the faces of the victims makes the impact even bigger.
So if I visit the area, just avoid Norway and go hangout in Stockholm instead.
I’d like to see such a map for mass shootings in the U.S.
The UK has something similar but you can search by all types of crime https://crimerate.co.uk/crime-map
Being able to look through all of the details of the victims and crimes feels a little ghoulish.
It's time to light up this map! /s
There's one in the ocean
What the fuck happened to Oslo?
What the island halfway down the shaft that's way off the mainland?
Now I want to know how many murders happened across Jo Nesbø's novels compared to the actual number of murders in Norway.
Per year or all time?
We have that too, it's called google maps
