dc.descriptionThe focus of the course is to introduce students to spatial analysis (SA) and geographic information systems (GIS) in the context of criminal justice. The use of SA and GIS to inform criminal justice research and practice has exploded over the last twenty years. Analysts examine spatial patterns of the locations where crime occurs as well as the distribution of those that are victimized and those that are arrested for committing crimes. They also examine other characteristics of the built and social environment that might encourage or discourage crime. These analyses require the ability to use spatial analysis to understand how things are distributed across places. Students who are interested in working as analysts in any component of the criminal justice system will find the content invaluable to their success. Spatial analysis has become a ‘must-have’ skill for crime analysts, program analysts, grant writers at non-profits etc.
