Zip Code Coverages needed

[Anurag Mehta]

hi everyone.

does anyone know of any commercial or non-commercial sources of zipcode 
coverages or boundary files? we're about to start a new research project 
here at the university of cincinnati's school of planning, that requires 
crime-tracking by zipcode.

also, i would welcome any suggestions about methodologies followed by 
others for crime-related GIS projects.

thanks for your help.
