Crime Analysis With Crime Mapping
- Rachel Boba Santos - Radford University, USA
Crime Analysis with Crime Mapping, Third Edition continues to provide a basic introduction to the field of crime analysis for students and practitioners, covering its history, key concepts, data, and techniques. Instead of focusing on specific technology or the use of it, the text focuses on fundamental concepts and their practical application as well as illustrative examples. As the only introductory core text book for crime analysis, this comprehensive text is used across the country to provide a foundation for students looking to enter the field as well as is the book that every crime analyst should read and have on the shelf for review and reference.
Appropriate for survey-level coursework, as a refresher for established analysts, or as an orientation tool for those just entering / thinking of entering into the field.
It supports the curriculum I have developed for my course, and provides real world applications of theories and practices.
Mulling over whether this should be essential or recommended at this stage. The only issue is that it is based on the USA and I would really prefer something where the emphasis is more on the UK
