Assess the impact of geospatial crime analysis.
What will be an ideal response?
Geospatial crime analysis has the potential to impact crime but it must be understood that it is a method of developing and analyzing information; it is not a crime reduction strategy by itself. Crime analysis can only lead to a crime reduction when combined with effective police strategies. Research suggests that much of the potential of crime analysis is yet to be realized in American police departments. The reason for this is either because the crime information is not useful or it is unclear how the information can be used, or a combination of each. In either case, in order for crime analysis to have any useful role, crime analysts must work closely with the people who are intended to use the information.
