Mapping crime : principles and practice / Keith Harries.

Abstract: This guide introduces the science of crime mapping to police officers, crime analysts, & other people interested in visualizing crime data through the medium of maps. The guide is made up of examples with the words draped around them. Crime analysts & researchers from across the U.S. & from Canada & the United Kingdom have contributed. The guide takes a broad approach addressing the kinds of questions crime mapping can answer & how, in general terms, it can answer them. Presumably most readers will be working in law enforcement agencies. The material is designed primarily for those who know little or nothing about mapping crime and who are motivated to learn more. Color maps.
