Abstract:
"Using a series of case studies this multidisciplinary book highlights the experiences of academics and practitioners to provide a much needed position statement of current practice in the mapping and analysis of crime date in the UK. It covers experiences of crime mapping and spatial analysis of crime data by agencies centrally involved in delivering a partnership approach to crime prevention. There are also examples from the USA, where crime mapping has been an important part of law enforcement and crime prevention efforts for some time."--Jacket.
