CrimeMapTutorial Workbooks and Sample Data for ArcView and MapInfo, 2000
CrimeMapTutorial is a step-by-step tutorial for learning
crime mapping using ArcView GIS or MapInfo Professional GIS. It was
designed to give users a thorough introduction to most of the
knowledge and skills needed to produce daily maps and spatial data
queries that uniformed officers and detectives find valuable for crime
prevention and enforcement. The tutorials can be used either for
self-learning or in a laboratory setting. The geographic information
system (GIS) and police data were supplied by the Rochester, New York,
Police Department. For each mapping software package, there are three
PDF tutorial workbooks and one WinZip archive containing sample data
and maps. Workbook 1 was designed for GIS users who want to learn how
to use a crime-mapping GIS and how to generate maps and data queries.
Workbook 2 was created to assist data preparers in processing police
data for use in a GIS. This includes address-matching of police
incidents to place them on pin maps and aggregating crime counts by
areas (like car beats) to produce area or choropleth maps. Workbook 3
was designed for map makers who want to learn how to construct useful
crime maps, given police data that have already been address-matched
and preprocessed by data preparers. It is estimated that the three
tutorials take approximately six hours to complete in total, including
exercises.
