Book Synopsis Putting Crime in its Place by : David Weisburd
Download or read book Putting Crime in its Place written by David Weisburd and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Putting Crime in its Place: Units of Analysis in Geographic Criminology focuses on the units of analysis used in geographic criminology. While crime and place studies have been a part of criminology from the early 19th century, growing interest in crime places over the last two decades demands critical reflection on the units of analysis that should form the focus of geographic analysis of crime. Should the focus be on very small units such as street addresses or street segments, or on larger aggregates such as census tracts or communities? Academic researchers, as well as practical crime analysts, are confronted routinely with the dilemma of deciding what the unit of analysis should be when reporting on trends in crime, when identifying crime hot spots or when mapping crime in cities. In place-based crime prevention, the choice of the level of aggregation plays a particularly critical role. This peer reviewed collection of essays aims to contribute to crime and place studies by making explicit the problems involved in choosing units of analysis in geographic criminology. Written by renowned experts in the field, the chapters in this book address basic academic questions, and also provide real-life examples and applications of how they are resolved in cutting-edge research. Crime analysts in police and law enforcement agencies as well as academic researchers studying the spatial distributions of crime and victimization will learn from the discussions and tools presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the key methods of reducing and dealing with criminal activity is to accurately gauge and then analyse the geographical distribution of crime (from small scale to large scale areas). Once the police and government know what areas suffer most from criminal activity they can assess why this is the case and then deal with it in the most effecti
Book Synopsis Community Crime Mapping by : Michael Chaszczewski
Download or read book Community Crime Mapping written by Michael Chaszczewski and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Crime prevention is an important area of study in our society that plays an integral role in the lives of citizens and the local police who enlist the aid of strategic counter crime plans to tackle the urgency created everyday when crimes are committed. This mode of counter acting crime is termed 'problem oriented policing' and is a policing approach where individual pieces of police data are critically examined with the hope that the findings learned will lead to discovering a new and more effective counter crime strategy. Crime mapping is one of these analyzed tools allowing officers to understand criminalistic data and map out individual incidents, crime routes, hot zones and predict where the next crime may occur. Through mapping spatial relationships, predictable policing efforts can be put into effect that cut crime rates by policing areas that need it most. Crime mapping is a strategy used by most police agencies but it lacks in specific factors most of which is a cohesive unified visual language. It is also restricted to crimes which don't take into account non-criminal police field work, emergency response and search and rescue efforts. Furthermore, the sharing of information between departments becomes problematic as each department customizes their imagery, colors, etc. Perhaps one of the greatest challenges to crime mapping is the element of change. Change allows for patterns to emerge which allow officers to define those patterns and effectively predict future criminal occurrences. This thesis serves to fill the gap in crime mapping by unifying the strategy with a series of standard icon system sets that span the breadth of law enforcement duties. A dynamic flexible icon system strives to create order and concise visual interpretation between officers and analysts within departments and between departments. The system is flexible, interchangeable and dynamic by addressing one of the most important aspects of change, time. The symbols are based on time of day and also express relative time periods when events occur. By improving the functionality of crime mapping, citizens, officers and communities can become safer."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Introduction to Crime Analysis and Mapping by : Jeffrey Strickland
Download or read book Introduction to Crime Analysis and Mapping written by Jeffrey Strickland and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Putting Fear of Crime on the Map by : Bruce J. Doran
Download or read book Putting Fear of Crime on the Map written by Bruce J. Doran and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-21 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since first emerging as an issue of concern in the late 1960s, fear of crime has become one of the most researched topics in contemporary criminology and receives considerable attention in a range of other disciplines including social ecology, social psychology and geography. Researchers looking the subject have consistently uncovered alarming characteristics, primarily relating to the behavioural responses that people adopt in relation to their fear of crime. This book reports on research conducted over the past eight years, in which efforts have been made to pioneer the combination of techniques from behavioural geography with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in order to map the fear of crime. The first part of the book outlines the history of research into fear of crime, with an emphasis on the many approaches that have been used to investigate the problem and the need for a spatially-explicit approach. The second part provides a technical break down of the GIS-based techniques used to map fear of crime and summarises key findings from two separate study sites. The authors describe collective avoidance behaviour in relation to disorder decline models such as the Broken Windows Thesis, the potential to integrate fear mapping with police-community partnerships and emerging avenues for further research. Issues discussed include fear of crime in relation to housing prices and disorder, the use of fear mapping as a means with which to monitor the impact of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) and fear mapping in transit environments.

Book Synopsis Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America by : Ralph A. Weisheit
Download or read book Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America written by Ralph A. Weisheit and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2005-09-21 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most researchers see the urban setting as being the only laboratory for studying crime problems throughout the United States, Crime and Policing in Rural and Small-Town America directly challenges this notion with an authoritative look at crime and the criminal justice system in rural America today. The assumption that rural crime is rare and comparable across various communities has led to incompatible theories and irrelevant practices. In order to transform this misconstruction, the Third Edition offers a clear outline of the definition of rural and provides a vital argument for why rural and small-town crime should be studied more than it is. The book also explores the individual nature of issues that emerge in these communities, including illegal drug production, domestic violence, agricultural crimes, rural poverty, and gangs, in addition to the training needs of rural police, probation in rural areas, and rural jails and prisons. Responding to rural crime requires an awareness of its context and how justice is carried out, as well as an appreciation of how features vary across rural areas. Understanding the relationships among crime, geography, and culture in the rural setting can reveal useful ideas and implications for crime and justice in communities across the United States.
