Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Computerized crime mapping or GIS in law enforcement agencies has experienced rapid growth, particularly since the mid 1990s. There has also been increasing interests in GIS analysis of crime from various academic fields including criminology, geography, urban planning, information science and others. This book features a diverse array of GIS applications in crime analysis, from general issues such as GIS as a communication process and inter-jurisdictional data sharing to specific applications in tracking serial killers and predicting juvenile violence. Geographic Information Systems and Crime Analysis showcases a broad range of methods and techniques from typical GIS tasks such as geocoding and hotspot analysis to advanced technologies such as geographic profiling, agent-based modeling and web GIS. Contributors range from university professors, criminologists in research institutes to police chiefs, GIS analysts in police departments and consultants in criminal justice.

About the Author
Dr. Fahui Wang is an Associate Professor of Geography at Northern Illinois University. His research interests include spatial analysis and GIS applications in crime, healthcare and cancer studies. His research has been supported by the National Institute of Justice, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Nature Sciences Foundation of China.
