ITV has taken a chunk of inspiration from Adrian Holovaty's often-cited Chicago Crime project to launch a crime section on ITV.com, tying crime data and related news to the eleven regions in the ITV Local network.

ITV is working with the charity Crimestoppers to add crime information to the site in the form of 'most wanted' posters, an archive of crime video reports and a user-generated crime reporting feature - so if you spot anyone vandalising something (or worse) you could post the evidence to the site. (Wouldn't it be better to send it to the police?)
ITV's strategy is to add practical elements to its website while expanding video content; the site claims the local sites recorded 4m views during May this year.
