This paper presents a theoretically and methodologically grounded GIS-based model for the measurement mapping of an index living conditions in urban residential areas across Sweden. Further, is compared evaluated using Swedish Police’s assessment crime-exposed areas. The results indicate that geographically measured vulnerable overlap to large extent with assessed be by Police. Over 61% police-...

A central question in the law and economics literature is whether, with limited resources, police should be deployed randomly over many locations or establish a predictable presence in crime “hot spots”. Critics of static hot spot enforcement have argued that this approach will only lead to crime shifting to other locations. But for short “crackdowns”, this may not apply, as it make take some t...

This study demonstrates the potential for using complaints data to identify and remedy misconduct problems in policing, and to reduce complaints. The study is distinctive in focusing on units of police management responsibility at the operational level. Drawing on the criminological concept of crime mapping, analysis of complaints was conducted at a more specific level than previously attempted...

Over the past several decades and especially in the past decade, a broad trend in the world of policing has been the move toward more preventive and proactive styles. Beginning as a way to increase police legitimacy (Tilley 2003), community policing promotes stronger relations between police and communities to develop a greater flow of information about crime problems and aims to cultivate an e...

This thesis presents methods, techniques and tools for developing three-dimensional representations of tactical intelligence assessments. Techniques from GIScience are combined with crime mapping methods. The range of methods applied in this study provides spatiotemporal GIS analysis as well as 3D geovisualisation and GIS programming. The work presents methods to enhance digital three-dimension...

Given a collection of Boolean spatio-temporal(ST) event types, the cascading spatio-temporal pattern (CSTP) discovery process finds partially ordered subsets of event-types whose instances are located together and occur in stages. For example, analysis of crime datasets may reveal frequent occurrence of misdemeanors and drunk driving after bar closings on weekends and after large gatherings suc...

Fear of violent crime is greater today than in recent memory. So too are Australian police statistics on the incidence of violent crime. The interpretation of crime statistics and of public attitudes should, however, be undertaken with care. Even before this year’s tragic massacre at Port Arthur, most Australians had formed the impression that violence in our society had reached unprecedented l...

The paper presents the results of investigation applicability spatiotemporal kernel density estimation (KDE) methods for mapping violent crime in Lithuania. Spatiotemporal research helps to understand and control specific types crime, thereby contributing Sustainable Development Goals. target dataset contained 135,989 records events registered by police Lithuania from 2015–2018 that were classi...
