Application: Crime Mapping: Benefits and Challenges

Crime mapping can be used to analyze
and predict the most likely locations where future crimes will occur so that
law enforcement can allocate resources and prevention activities accordingly.
The information provided by crime mapping also can be used to identify and
apprehend likely suspects based on geographic crime data. While there are many
crime prevention and law enforcement advantages to using crime mapping, there
also have been challenges. Law enforcement agencies must evaluate the benefits
and the challenges to using this technology and determine whether or not to
utilize crime mapping.

For this assignment, consider how law
enforcement may utilize data from crime mapping to prevent and/or address
crime. Then think about the challenges and benefits of crime mapping and how it
might promote social change.
