App users can see date and location of reported hate crimes combined with predictive analytics through Artificial Intelligence

MIAMI and NEW YORK, Feb. 23, 2017 — (PRNewswire) —  Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc. (NASDAQ: HMNY) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Zone Technologies Inc. ("Zone"), creator of the RedZone Map app, today announced the launch of their new, free hate crime map functionality. The first of its kind, the app now allows users to see the location and date of reported hate crimes. This enhanced feature of the RedZone Map app uses geo-mapped crime data to provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of hate crimes across the United States.

"People have a right to know about all crimes – including hate crimes – that are happening in neighborhoods where they live, travel, work and transact business," said Ted Farnsworth, Chairman and CEO of HMNY and Zone and creator of RedZone Map. "The dramatic increase in hate crimes is a worrying trend. Raising awareness of the issue is the first step to countering it."

Of all reported hate crimes since November 1, 2016, New York and Illinois had higher incident levels than those states' percent of US population.  On the contrary, California, Florida and Texas had less. 

RedZone Map has also broken down hate crime data by crime class. Hate crimes committed involving race represent more than two-thirds of reported incidents since November 1, 2016.

Beyond displaying reported hate crimes, RedZone Map's proprietary software platform incorporates artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to potentially determine when another crime might occur. The app's social media listening component monitors across platforms 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, for social chatter by those who might commit these crimes.

RedZone Map is also able to categorize each hate crime by class, and is developing plans to include this data in its app.
