Agenda Why use Crime Analyst? Overview Tools Demo Interoperability
With our old software it could take a police officer up to forty minutes to examine a robbery in a specific area through data mining, data conversion and mapping. CrimeAnalyst allows the same thing to be done in about two minutes via the intranet. Mark Hamilton, South Yorkshire Police
Why Crime Analyst? 5 hours/week Real Time Information Improved Performance Operational Planning and Support
Crime Analyst The Crime Analyst brings together new and existing ArcGIS functionality to a single tool bar Designed specifically with crime analysts in mind the extension provides all the tools necessary for advanced crime analysis Complex functions are a single click away improving efficiency and effectiveness
Crime Theory To understand how crime initiatives work it is important to understand the theory behind why crimes take place Academic research has identified these three main theories which examine why crime occurs plus research looking at offenders crime trips Journey to Crime Theory (JTC) Routine Activity Theory (RAT) Rational Choice Theory (RCT)
Why Geography? Nodes of importance Residence Employment Recreation Paths Crimes are committed between or around nodes Employment Residence Offences Suitable targets Activity space Recreation
Crime Analyst has four key goals 1. Delivering increased analyst productivity 2. Providing new analytical capabilities 3. Making that analysis consistent and reliable 4. Offering value for money
Increasing Analyst Productivity Spend less time on simple tasks Make tasks quicker and easier Single toolbar for all crime functions Save standard queries Simple interface for selecting incidents by date/time Many aspects of our data analysis were made easier and more readily available, for example, hotspot analysis, filtering by date/time, and saving queries Phil Moore, Warwickshire Constabulary
Analytical Capabilities use the time you save to do NEW analysis Temporal analysis of crime Investigate repeat victimisation Search for related incidents Journey to crime analysis Aoristic clocks assist greatly in planning resource time for specific problems. Gary Birchall, South Yorkshire Police
Hot Spots Density analysis is a tried and tested method for identifying hotspots of crime A simple interface provides quick and easy access to advanced functionality Optional functionality helps to reduces errors associated with the boundary effect Perform a hotspot on line features as well as points
Contour Calculator
Data Clocks Burglary Data Clocks provide temporal hotspot analysis and can be used to improve the understanding of the temporal aspects of crime "Aoristic clocks assist greatly in planning resource time for specific problems." Gary Birchall, South Yorkshire Police
Temporal Slider Spatial and Temporal occurrences
Query Manager Management tool for queries and expressions Manage multiple queries in simple drop down lists Run existing queries Edit existing queries Create new queries Execute to see query result
Counts of Crime Thematic maps can be useful to display the distribution of crime incidents The tool uses a innovative cascading interface to select crimes for counting and mapping Standard groups such as burglary and Criminal Damage User defined groups incorporating as many or as few crime types as the user chooses. Output to map or table
Making Analysis Consistent and Reliable improve the quality of that analysis Wizard-driven analysis tools Automated generation of crime statistics Set of standard queries Quality crime analyst training Complex selections and analysis that would probably have remained pipe dreams before were so quick and straightforward Matt Stokes, Hampshire Fire
