SpotCrime is a go to website for recent crime reports in your neighborhood (mainly major cities within United States). It scans local police records and news sources for recent criminal activity and maps this information onto Google Maps. In most cases the incidents appear on the website within 3-24 hours after they have been reported.

Next time you’re looking for a house or rent make sure to check out the neigborhood area with SpotCrime. And while you are at it you might also want to run it through national sex offender registry. These reports may not be 100 % accurate but should be enough to give you a basic idea about the place.
