Analysis Of Crime Mapping And The Strategy Of Hot Spot Policing

Using coordinates or simple objectives allows the ability to make proper determination. Geographic data allows identifiable information to be offered to subscribers with the encouragement of geographical indicators. Display tools offer a realism of visual effects and the most applicable advantages. Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, spatial statics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Systems of these nature offer geographers collaborative and analyzed information far more unique than traditional research techniques (Geographic Information Systems as an Integrating Technology: Context, Concepts, and Definitions,2015). Lastly, geographic reality and space relation must be gathered using input and output of data and formulaic sequences, but the tools make them applicable to user.

Introduction The top two and most commonly used programs for reporting and tracking crime statistics in the United States are the Uniform Crime Reports, UCR, program and the National Incident-Based Reporting System, NIBRS, program. Each program contains data from crimes and incidents that is tracked, analyzed, and reported by different law enforcement agencies from the reported incidents. While the UCR is the most commonly used, many law enforcement agencies are working towards shifting to full participation of NIBRS. Both programs use similar methodology to create reports of their crime based statistics, but still contain varying differences.

An excellent example of the innovative use of technology is ICAM (Information Collection for Automated Mapping)—an easy-to-use, PC-based, mouse-driven mapping system created by Chicago police officers. ICAM has been installed in all twenty-five of our police district stations so that police personnel—from beat officers to commanders—can quickly and easily generate maps showing the crime patterns in their particular neighborhoods. Just as important, ICAM is allowing police personnel to share this information with the community, so that it can be better informed and empowered to solve problems. ICAM is only one example of how we are using technology to support police.” Community members have been given cell phones specifically for contacting their beat officers quickly.

Law enforcement agencies use this system in the U.S. NIBRS reports generate data from Local, State, and Federal agencies systems. While the UCR method only grouped reports into 8 categories, the NIBRS is grouped into 23 different crime categories. The strengths of having an Incident-Based system are all the offenses in an incident are counted in the data compared to the UCR reporting and only reporting what was reported to the law enforcement agency. This report has more detail on each individual crime reported. It has such a wide range of crimes that the report can provide and collect.

Rates response and Crime reporting Lorie Daniels CJS/200 Friday July10, 2015 Scott Smith Rates response and Crime reporting The main purpose of major crime reporting programs is to help the public and citizens of all community know how those programs operate, as well as informing them all how the crime activity are and also proper enforcement and laws for those acts. When making the crime reporting programs successful, they must follow though, citizens of community and etc… needs and want to be up to date and feel safe. To make the reporting programs successful it needs to also be very correct.

The way crime was dealt with in total evolved through the Progressive movement. IN source 6, an annual report for the Detroit police department documents the allotting of government resources such as the police to reflect the people’s needs. Through the use of science being introduced to the police force, systems to increase the efficiency of public safety were being developed. For example, putting foremost efforts into the areas that need the most

Law enforcement and Homeland Security professionals have similar yet contrasting responsibilities that create nuances in the types of information they can use, the quality of the information, and the ways in which they use it. Law enforcement agencies typically have access to data that best allows for patrolling and investigative purposes, especially in local and statewide areas. On the other hand, Homeland Security professionals tend to have more comprehensive access to data. The data and databases that Homeland Security professionals can access typically deal with federal crimes, immigration, and other data that pertains to national security. Some examples of data that law enforcement agencies have access to and regularly use are social media, Records Management Systems (RMS), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

There are various measurement tools and surveys used to capture delinquency. These tools depict a certain extent of crime due to multiple reasons such as not reporting, over reporting, and omission of certain crimes. All of which significantly impact the statistical data resulting from the collection methods used by the government. Some of these methods include Uniform Crime Report (UCR), National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and self-report surveys. Every report has a distinct process and the type of information collected within, however, each method attempts to present the most accurate data.

This abstract will discuss the strengths, weaknesses and differences of both data sources. To articulate the nature and extent of a crime, criminologists use records that are collected, compiled, and analyzed by government agencies such as the federal government’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (criminology

GPS technology allows dispatcher to discern which appropriate units are closest to respond to a call or request for service. ' GPS technology is at the heart of commercial in-car navigation systems and fleet-tracking software, and it is increasingly being incorporated into monitoring brace-lets that are issued to offenders who are placed on probation, parole or are registered sex offenders.' As monitoring equipment technology improves and cost decreases, agencies will be have the greater ability to track crime and, in partnership with other members of law enforcement and policing, determine where offenders are located. With availability of proper and effective equipment, and with adequate data storage and retrieval capabilities, it is possible to determine where and when these offenders violate conditions of supervision. Agencies can monitor whether the offender fails to return to their residences after curfew, whether they enter restricted zones, or by consorting with other felons, or even whether or not the monitoring agent has moved at all over a period of time (indicating

Criminal profiling has been and will important to both the court system and law enforcement. Profiling helps police by limiting the field of investigation by providing what kind of individual is most likely to commit a crime focusing on the type of behavior and characteristics. It consist of a collection of leads, and is described as an educated guest or attempt to provide certain information about a specific type of suspect (Geberth, 1981). It is also a way of providing behavioral patterns, trends and tendencies. Law enforcement has used behavioral forensic for many years for solving crimes by creating psychological profiles of criminals.

Predicting Crime With the Uniform Crime Reporting System The Uniform Crime Reporting System States that there are four types of crime in the United States such as United States Crime, National Incident-based Reporting System, Law Enforcement Personnel Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime Statistics. (FBI, May 09, 2012) Crime in the United States is classified in three parts such as; Felonies, Misdemeanors, and Infractions. Each classification is determined by how high or low the crime is that was committed and what punishment is for the person who convicted the crime.(Montaldo, August 28th, 2016) National Incident-Based Reporting System this is crimes known to the police personnel the data includes types of offenses in an incident such as;

Considering the FBI Uniform Crime Report and the National Crime Victimization Survey Introduction Crime rates of America have pushed its Government to turn to recording of detailed crime history for its further analysis. Though there are two main programs designed for crime uncovering, that is, the FBI Uniform Crime Report and the National Crime Victimization Survey, recent amounts of crime suggest some weaknesses of methods used by them. This paper will consider disadvantages of both programs and on their grounds will suppose the most valuable for criminologists to use as a crime measuring device. Criticism of the FBI Uniform Crime Report The FBI Uniform Crime Report has some disadvantages in comparison with the National Crime Victimization

In the contemporary society, most cities are served CCTV cameras for purposes of controlling crime. In addition, there are big screens erected in varied spots in the cities, which is used for advertisement and public communication. Counter Terrorist Unit used satellites technology to track down terrorists (McNamara, 2010). In modern media, customers are served with satellite maps (GPRS maps) for ease of locating a premise. In fact, Google map apps are also available for phones.

Stake holders can benefit from crime mapping by receiving real time security updates of local areas, assisting basic threat assessments to determine where significant risks are most prominent and, will support local intelligence agencies in understanding risk locations. However, permitting crime mapping as an open source research tool can also be a disadvantage. Open source allows every member of the public access including adversaries. I feel the biggest victims of crime mapping will be local businesses, police forces and the general
