text: based PSI analysis and presentation, not just to crime mapping: 
  
  In general, a map is just a map, not reality. It doesn't always and necessarily provide 
  scientific evidence. Crime maps, for example, are NOT safety maps, as most citizens 
  would, more or less consciously, like them to be: a tool that tells them where to buy a 
  house their according to the level of criminality in the district. 
  
  When used in that way, crime maps can give unprepared users two false impressions: 
  the first, obvious one, is that certain areas are only criminal spaces, exclusively 
  inhabited by criminals. The other is to encourage a purely egoistic vision of the city, 
  where the need for safety becomes paranoia and intolerance and all that matters is to be 
  inside some gated community. This doesn't lower crime levels at all: the only result is to 
  increase urban segregation. 
  
  To make things worse, crime data not analyzed and explained properly don't just contribute to 
  
  strengthen egoistic attitudes and lock the urban areas that are actually the most plagued by crime 
  
  into their current difficult state indefinitely. Sometimes, they may even perpetuate beliefs that are, 
  
  at least in part, simply false. Of course, when those beliefs not grounded in facts already existed,
