The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati (one of HealthLandscape's sponsoring organizations) and The Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky recently co-sponsored an event called "The Hot Spotter's Agenda: Targeting Resources to Achieve Quality Care." Keynote speaker was Dr. Jeffrey Brenner, a primary care physician in Camden, New Jersey.
Dr. Brenner's dramatic story is told in a 2011 New Yorker article by Atul Gawande. Dr. Brenner, who was on track to become a neuroscientist, instead changed his vocational focus after volunteering one day a week in a free primary care clinic during medical school. After seeing how patients were treated--or not, in one case--he became curious about the relationship between crime "hot spots" and health care delivery. He used maps to plot the data. Although he did not persuade city leaders to implement solutions based on his findings, he continued to collect and examine data and look for medical usage patterns using maps.
He made many discoveries. For example, he located the two blocks that accounted for more healthcare costs than any other in the city--totaling more than $200 million in healthcare bills in a 5.5-year period. He found that a single building sent more people to hospitals as a result of serious falls than any other, totaling almost $3 million in healthcare costs.
Dr. Brenner made meaningful use of the data. He has subsequently poured his efforts into the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers, an organization he founded to treat "superutilizers." His team has successfully built relationships with the patients they serve, and the Coalition's care has resulted in significant reductions in healthcare costs.

Crime by State, 2008
New data available in HealthLandscape!
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
Data provides the rate of selected offenses per 100,000 inhabitants for each state.
Any comparisons of crime among different locales should take into consideration relevant factors in addition to the area's crime statistics. Variables Affecting Crime provides more details concerning the proper use of UCR statistics.

Internet Crime Complaints and Perpetrators by State, 2009
New data available in HealthLandscape!
HealthLandscape now contains 2009 data for Internet Crime Complaints by State and Internet Crime Perpetrators by State. The internet crime complaints data are 2009 state rates based on filings with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The internet crime perpetrators data are based only on filings where the perpetrator's residence could be identified by IC3. The IC3, which began operation on May 8, 2000 as the Internet Fraud Complaint Center, was established as a partnership between the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to serve as a vehicle to receive, process, and refer criminal complaints regarding the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. IC3 was intended for and continues to serve the broader law enforcement community, including federal, state, and local agencies, which employ key participants in the growing number of Cyber Crime Task Forces. Since its inception, IC3 has received complaints across a wide variety of cyber crime matters, including online fraud (in its many forms), intellectual property rights matters, computer intrusions (hacking), economic espionage (theft of trade secrets), child pornography, international money laundering, identity theft, and a growing list of additional criminal matters.
For more informtion, see IC3, NW3C and FBI. The full reports for 2009 and all previous years are available for download from the annual reports section of the IC3 website.
In 2009, the IC3 website received 336,655 complaints (22.3% increase from 2008). Just over one-third of complainants resided in one of the four most populated states: California, Florida, Texas, or New York. While Alaska, Colorado, and the District of Columbia had a relatively small absolute number of complaints, they did have some of the highest per capita rates of complainants in the United States.

Figure 2. Complainants per 100,000 People by State, 2009
The state of residence for perpetrators was only reported 33% of the time. Among the complaints for which perpetrator information is available, more than half resided in one of the following states: California, Florida, New York, the District of Columbia, Texas, and Washington. The District of Columbia, Nevada, Washington, Montana, Utah, Delaware, Florida, and Wyoming had the highest per capita rates.
