Crime Mapping and Spatial Technologies
ECTS CREDITS 4 VENUE: GW HALL C
Description:
This study-unit aims to investigate the use to which spatial technologies are being put in terms of physical, social and criminological research. The study-unit has
been upgraded from the previous crime-mapping module through the integration of other ancillary and new tools that can be integrated within the methodological
processes in the assessment of crimes and their relationship to space-time.
Crime-mapping is concerned with the creation, analysis, and visualization of crime data in a spatial format. This study-unit aims at tackling the spatial-statistical
components of the technology, its use in spatial and temporal analysis, as well as its implementation in security and safety. Crime-mapping, as it is termed, employs
state-of-the-art technology and has recently spanned the divide between uniquely physical land use-based technologies to one comfortable with social research.
The study-unit begins by describing crime-mapping function through its history, its use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), and the spatio-temporal
function, all based on a socio-technic approach. The study-unit also reviews crime-mapping through a SWOT analysis and then goes on to review web-mapping
and the use of web-mapping for crime through a review of sites. The final part of this study-unit reviews the impact of spatial analysis on social research and goes
on to consider what makes the GIS technology tick. Students will be given a historic overview of the discipline, its use as a successful tool for a wide range of
functions including policy-making, implementation and monitoring interventions on levels of crime and disorder. This can be done through real-time and updated
systems that allow crime to be mapped and displayed either on an intranet or on the internet, potentially through the use of geo-server technology.
Aims:
- To familiarise students with the spatial information systems and related tools and technologies;
- To investigate the different technologies that serve as ancillary tools to GIS;
18 | P a g e
- To familiarise students with the data-cycle process and the mapping of criminal activity;
- To cover the issues pertaining to the spatio-temporal functions;
- To analyse the impact of spatial analysis on social research with emphasis on prediction processes in such scenarios as post-disaster management and the resultant
criminologic situations.
Learning outcomes:
1. Knowledge & Understanding:
By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to:
- Understand the basic issues of crime mapping;
- Be knowledgeable of the crime-mapping scenarios and activities;
- Understand the requirements of spatial-statistical testing;
- Understand the need for GIS tools and ancillary tools/ technologies;
- To be able to build scenarios and model potentialities.
2. Skills:
By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to:
- Carry out basic mapping exercises;
- Create a crime map based on a location in the Maltese Islands;
- Carry out visualization exercise and translate that into a socio-physical crime map;
- Discuss how advanced technologies help users in understanding social realities;
- To build a model of potential scenarios post-disaster and crime mitigation.
