Crime analysis is both a profession and a set of techniques. The
professionals who perform crime analysis, and the techniques they
use, are dedicated to helping a police department become more
effective through better information. Crime mapping is used by
analysts in law enforcement agencies to map, visualize, and analyze
crime incident patterns. It is a key component of crime analysis
and the CompStat policing strategy. Mapping crime, using Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), allows crime analysts to identify crime
hot spots, along with other trends and patterns. This book focuses
mostly on crime analysis mapping, but includes a discussion of
predictive modeling, a special handling of modeling terrorism, and
appendices which include a review of probability and statistics and
possible board questions. The book is not intended to be all
inclusive, nor does it handle the subjects in depth. Rather, it is
more of a "survey" of a few crime analysis topics that are dealt
with more rigorously by other authors.
