Carver County Attorney’s Office recognizes that many factors can increase someone’s risk of being victimized, their ability to engage in the criminal justice process fully, and the long-term impacts of victimization on their wellbeing. The Victim/Witness Risk and Resources Map is a visual tool designed to help confront and remove barriers for those impacted by crime, or at risk of being impacted by crime, in Carver County may face, such as access to transportation, affordable housing, service centers, and food relief resources.

Date range of data (01/01/2023 - 12/31/2023) 

To use the Victim/Witness Risk and Resources Map, click the button below. There are 9 layers of the map that you can look at individually by using the forward and backward arrow buttons at the top of the navigation bar. These layers include:

• Individual Law Enforcement calls for victim-related crimes in Carver County over the last year
• Heatmap of county crime victimization incidents over the last year
• Low income by census block group
• Public assistance income by census block group
• Limited English speaking by census block group (click on each color block for more information)
• Service center locations across the county (click the individual icons for specific information)
• Housing resources across the county (click the individual icons for specific information)
• Public transportation lines
• Food relief resources across the county (click the individual icons for specific information)

Once you have looked at the individual layers, go to the bottom left of the screen and click on “Multi-layer tool.”

Then click on the small white icon on the bottom left of the map that shows multiple squares on top of one another. This should open a list of all 9 layers. Select the two layers you would like to compare.

Use the slider in the center of the map to explore the intersection of your chosen layers.

NOTE: Because this map was designed to show the intersection of crime victimization and other risk factors or barriers, when using the Multi-Layer Tool the left side of the slider will only show Individual law enforcement calls (layer 1) and/or the Heatmap of county crime victimization (layer 2). All other layers will show up on the right side of the slider.

Disclaimer: The Victim/Witness Risk and Resources Map was originally developed through a training and technical assistance grant obtained from Justice For All and is maintained and annually updated by Carver County.
