Correct for population density

2

A common weakness of crime maps is that they often are just [population density maps in disguise](http://www.chicagonow.com/getting-real/2011/06/trulias-new-crime-maps-dont-really-help-identify-safe-neighborhoods/). Would it be possible to additionally correct for population? Awesome work, btw.
