Springer - Crime Modeling and Mapping Using Geospatial Tech

Explore the evolution and current state of crime mapping with this comprehensive text from Springer. This book provides a deep look into how geographic information systems (GIS) technology is used to analyze and predict criminal patterns. By examining methods used in fields like epidemiology and location-allocation analysis, readers gain a better understanding of how to apply spatial analysis to crime data effectively. As crime analysis and mapping continue to develop rapidly in North America, this resource serves as a vital guide for understanding the field. It covers the transition from early methods to modern GIS applications, offering insights into the research and evaluation processes that drive the industry. Whether you are studying the history of the US National Institute of Justice (NIJ) crime mapping research center or looking for practical ways to use geospatial tools, this volume provides the necessary background for advanced spatial analysis.
