Recent years in North America have seen a rapid development in the
area of crime analysis and mapping using Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) technology. In 1996, the US National Institute of
Justice (NIJ) established the crime mapping research center (CMRC),
to promote research, evaluation, development, and dissemination of
GIS technology. The long-term goal is to develop a fully functional
Crime Analysis System (CAS) with standardized data collection and
reporting mechanisms, tools for spatial and temporal analysis,
visualization of data and much more. Among the drawbacks of current
crime analysis systems is their lack of tools for spatial analysis.
For this reason, spatial analysts should research which current
analysis techniques (or variations of such techniques) that have
been already successfully applied to other areas (e.g.,
epidemiology, location-allocation analysis, etc.) can also be
employed to the spatial analysis of crime data. This book presents
a few of those cases.
