TIL norway has a homocide map with exact locations of murders.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
Interesting that this map also specifies who was the victim.
I assume it's to humanize the victims of homicides, rather than portraying them as mere statistics on a spreadsheet.
Kinda sad tho
How is this possible don't they have to keep them anonymous?
Here's the reason for why the data is public (according to them)
This is why VG publishes an overview of all Norwegian murders
All murders have ripple effects. For the immediate family, for the local community and for society at large. VG has mapped all murder cases from 2000 to the present day.
Openness about who, where, how and why people are killed is important in order to be able to conduct a knowledge-based debate about murder as a social problem. It is only when the public knows what is happening that it is possible to implement preventive measures.
In recent years, a number of miscarriages of justice have been uncovered. VG believes that openness about criminal cases and legal processes is an important safety valve for avoiding prejudgment - and strengthening legal certainty for both victims and suspects.
Through its work on the report series "The unsolved deaths", VG revealed in 2023 that the official Norwegian statistics on unsolved murders were missing several murder victims. This underlines the need for an ongoing public overview of all murder cases - regardless of police assessments.

The Nordics are generally less reluctant with personal data compared to e.g. Germany.
There's also a lot of tracking of who is accessing personal info. Most often you need to provide your own identity to look something up like property or vehicle owners if it's not given freely by the individual on a public site.
But there are web sites where you can obtain information that e.g. in Germany would be afaIk not public, see e.g. hitta.se
Interesting, is that not info people have voluntarily input? It looks like 1881.no which AFAIK is like old school yellow pages where you put your info in and it's combined with publicly available things like the business register.
Yes, however a lot of this information would not be publicly available in Germany or only with valid concern, e.g. birthday, car ownership, value of the estate.
You don't send in information to gulesider/180/1881, it's automatically added unless you specifically request to have your information removed for whatever reason. They're great sites to dox yourself for those of us that don't use a fake name on the Internet.
My previous post... You add any personal info not publicly available. Publicly available info they add automatically 😀. I don't participate lol
It makes it all the more sad, I feel.
It really does. Lots of young people on there.
