Abstract
In this chapter we describe the context in which the project “Mapping Crime in Its Community Context” was developed. Because the focal point of the project is information about crime and public safety, we first discuss how information about crime, which generally comes from the community, is handled in a police department. In the crime mapping project the CPD was the grantee and CANS, a consortium of 10 community organizations, was one of the three subgrantees. A historical perspective is given of the relationship between these two organizations and of their relationship to the two other subgrantees, Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
