چکیده
CrimeStat is a spatial statistics and visualization program that interfaces with desktop GIS packages. It is a standalone Windows program for the analysis of crime incident locations and can interface with most desktop GIS programs. Its aim is to provide statistical tools to help law enforcement agencies and criminal justice researchers in their crime mapping efforts. The program has many statistical tools, including centrographic, distance analysis, hot spot analysis, space-time analysis, interpolation, Journeyto-Crime estimation, and crime travel demand modeling routines. The program writes calculated objects to GIS files that can be imported into a GIS program, including shape, MIF/MID, BNA, and ASCII. The National Institute of Justice is the distributor of CrimeStat and makes it available for free to analysts, researchers, educators, and students.1 The program is distributed along with a manual that describes each of the statistics and gives examples of their use [1].

Geometric vs Network based Spatial Clustering
Geometry based approaches like CrimeStat [7, 3] clusters data based on the geometric location of the points. They exploit a regular geometrical shape like a circle or an ellipse to group high activity areas in domains like crime analysis. CrimeStat uses the K-means [9] and hierarchical nearest neighbour clustering [6] to cluster these activities based on the Euclidean distances between the acti...
متن کاملCSci 8715: P1 Draft Project Proposal
Eck et. al. in their article in [1] has proposed an approach to use K-means [2] clustering algorithm to cluster crime hot spots. Oliver et. al. in [3, 4] has argued that in places with low crime density KMR is a better alternative for law enforcement agencies than [1]. In this research we are interested in finding out the following questions: 1. At what crime hotspot density Oliver et. al.'s [4...
متن کاملDetecting Hot Spots Using Cluster Analysis and GIS
One of the more popular approaches for the detection of crime hot spots is cluster analysis. Implemented in a wide variety of software packages, including CrimeStat, SPSS, SAS, and SPLUS, cluster analysis can be an effective method for determining areas exhibiting elevated concentrations of crime. However, it remains a particularly challenging task to detect hot spots using clustering technique...

This study analyzes a series of crimes committed by sexual offenders and a series committed by non-sexual offenders. Subjects chosen for the study were seven sexual offenders (Test Group) and twelve offenders with non-sexual crimes (Control Group). Test data were selected from the Minnesota Predatory Offender Registry. Control group data were randomly selected from data provided with the crime ...
