 Introduction

• 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.
 History of Crime Mapping

• 1829 In France -Adriano Balbi and Andre-Michel Guerry

created the first maps of crime.

• Lambert-Adolphe Quetelet (1831 and 1832)-Belgian astronomer

and statistician, he independently published three maps dealing
with the same themes but spreading across larger areas.
• He stated, "The greater the number of individuals observed, the
more do individual peculiarities, whether physical or moral,
become.
• Robert Park (1920s and 1930s)-looked to characteristics of the
urban environment to explain the crime problem in American
cities.
• Frederic Thrasher (1927)-He found that gangs were
concentrated in areas of the city where social control was weak
and social disorganization pervasive.
 Functions of Crime mapping

• CRIME MAPPING SERVES THREE MAIN FUNCTIONS WITHIN

CRIME ANALYSIS:
1. It facilitates visual and statistical analyses of the spatial nature of crime
and other types of events.
2. It allows analysts to link unlike data sources together based on common
geographic variables(e.g., linking census information, school information,
and crime data for a common area).
3. It provides maps that help to communicate analysis results.
Types of Crime Analysis

• Crime Analysis:

• It is the qualitative and quantitative study of crime and

police-related information in combination with socio-
demographic and spatial factors to apprehend criminals,
prevent crime, reduce disorder, and evaluate organizational
procedures.
There are three types of crime analysis :
 TACTICAL CRIME ANALYSIS
• crime mapping is used to identify immediate
patterns for crimes. - such as residential and
commercial burglary, auto theft, and theft from
vehicles.
• The study of recent criminal incidents and potential
criminal activity by examining characteristics such
as how, when, and where the activity has occurred
to assist in problem-solving by developing patterns
and trends, identifying investigative leads suspects,
and clearing cases.
Strategic Crime Analysis
Long term application to analyze the relationship between
:
• Criminal activity
• Indicators of disorder

How TO DO.......
• Assist in geographic and temporal allocation of resources
• Examine patterns of crime around specific locations
• Calculate crime rate information
• Incorporate crime data with qualitative geographic information
Administrative Crime Analysis
A valuable tool used by
• Police
• Researchers
• and media organizations
• to convey criminal activity information to the
public.
• Web sites operated by police departments and
news organization routinely post maps that
depict areas of crime, along with
corresponding tables and definitions.
Crime Analysis Model:
Types of Crime mapping

1.Manual Pin Mapping

2. Computer Mapping
3.The Geographic Information System (GIS)
 1.Manual pin mapping

• Wall maps have long been a simple and useful way to depict crime
incidents .Maps tacked to the wall of the briefing room with the most recent
crimes represented by pins.For example, although different colored pins
could be used to represent different types of crime, date and time of
incidents, the nature of incidents, and other information cannot be displayed
easily.
Computer Mapping

A computer map was been taken from an Internet mapping program, where an address
is entered and a map of the surrounding area appears with a pin to locate the address.
Even though it is possible to zoom in and out of this type of map, the geographic
features (e.g., locations, streets, parks) are static and cosmetic only.
3.The Geografical Information
System

A geographic information system (GIS) is a set of computer-based tools that allow a

person to modify, visualize, query, and analyze geographic and tabular data. A GIS
is different from manual pin maps and computer maps in that it allows the analyst to
view data behind the geographic features, combine various features, manipulate the
data and maps, and perform statistical functions.
Important formula for Crime
mapping
Crime mapping and Public Safety Software

Maptitude-
• essential tool for all types of crime and law
enforcement mapping applications.
• It gives a low-cost way to visualize crime data,
• make informed decisions and
• -evaluate law enforcement programs
GIS

• A powerful software tool

• Allows the user to create any kind of geographic
representation,
• from a simple point map to a three-dimensional
visualization of spatial or temporal data.

APPROACH TO CRIME
MAPPING
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF
CRIME MAPPING?
• Crime mapping is very important tool in
managing and controlling crime in an area.
• Investigators are able to understand
• the crime patterns and trend
• it also help in resource allocation and in
geographic profiling of criminals and suspicious
locations.
Conclusion
• Crime mapping is an effective strategies of crime analysis in
any investigation. Digital analysis and mapping of crime offers
a number of benefits, particularly in the following fields of
applications: operational policing purposes, crime prevention,
informing and interaction with the community, change
monitoring changes in the distribution of crime over time and
evaluation of efficiency of crime prevention initiatives. So crime
mapping is essential for every field of investigation to prevent
root of crime.
