Description
Gathering accurate data probably constitutes one of the most
important aspects of crime investigation and prevention. How
do we put the data to use? How can we improve our methods of
handling the information we collect? By describing a project
for the development and implementation of a computerized
crime-mapping system in the Chicago area, this book makes a
significant contribution toward a more efficient and
intelligent use of crime data to understand and prevent
crime in a community setting.
