The advent of easy-to-use GIS applications has allowed crime mapping and analysis to flourish within law enforcement agencies. Software, training and resources are easily available to those interest in this use of GIS. Sara Barbour from Miller/McCune magazine writes a summary article on the use of GIS to predict criminal behavior in. The start of the article reviews a crime case in which spatial analysis was used to pinpoint and subsequently arrest a sex offender in Toronto. Manny San Pedro, an officer with that police force is quoted as saying “ If you have a crime analysis unit and you are not using spatial analysis, you are missing a key component.” The article also delves into how a generation raised on Google Maps will maybe one day find spatial thinking added to their curriculums.

Predictive Policing Most crime analysis produces maps and statistics for crimes that already have occurred. The Los Angeles Times has an article about predictive policing which looks to analyze when and where crimes are the mostly likely to occur. George Mohler, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Santa Clara University, has adapted math formulas used to calculate aftershocks. Mohler, using the phenomenon that homes in an area that has already been burglarized are more likely to also be burglarized (called an exact or near-repeat effect), has developed a computer model to can accurately predict the likely occurrence of crime in a given neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Doug McCune took at look at the spread of crime in San Francisco using data for the entire year of 2009 which he downloaded from. The 3D results are displayed on his web site and make for some interesting observations about the geographic distribution of crime in the city. McCune provides top-down and oblique views of his 3D mapping.

While all of the crimes mapped have distinct areas where the crime is more concentrated, some of the crimes have sharper concentrations than others. The most obviously clustered crime is prostitution with high peaks.

How to Hire a Crime Analyst The Police Foundation has developed a free publication entitled “ Selecting the Best Analyst for the Job: A Model Crime Analyst Assessment Process for Law Enforcement Agencies.” Written by Karen L. Amendola and Greg Jones and published in December of 2010, the book is available online via PDF format. The abstract: The rapid growth in applications and usage of crime mapping and analysis in law enforcement agencies in recent years has increased job opportunities for new analysts. Recognizing the importance of creating hiring standards and a systematic and comprehensive hiring process for selecting highly capable crime analysts, and with the support of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Police Foundation developed Selecting the Best Analyst for the Job: A Model Crime Analyst Assessment Process for Law Enforcement Agencies (CAAP).

The publication and CD-ROM focus on defining the job of a crime analyst and on a model procedure for selecting the best possible crime analyst for an agency. The Police Foundation has many other publications and resources available on their page.
